Park Lane School - Macclesfield FC Mosaic

What a FABULOUS time I had earlier this week with Class 6.

The panel this group are working on shows how proud Macc FC were to get to the Football Conference.    The design is similar to snakes and ladders as some supporters waved large blow up blue silkworms during some matches!  This snakes and ladders is a game with a difference, the silkworms take you UP the squares and the ladders take you DOWN!

There was LOTS of concentration and dedication happening in this session!

Unfortunately I was too busy joining in with the singing and dancing to the tunes on the CD to take photos of the REAL laughter we had...I only managed to get everyone working really hard!

As you can see, the group worked really hard in just a morning!

I'm looking forward to going back next week!

Mosaics and More at Adelphi Mill - Barnaby Mosaic and Macc FC Mossaic

What would I do without my trusty mosaic mentees, Ruth and Moira! 

Thank you, girls for coming to help finish the Barnaby

Also to Pat, our new recruit, doing a stellar job, finishing the mosaics which the children at Ash Grove School started

And not forgetting Chris, our Young Creative who has some real mosaic staying power.

No rest for the willing...

Concentration and copious cups of tea!

As you can see, there is still lots to do! Please call us now to book a place to come and help on the Macclesfield FC community Mosaic.

Not forgetting the Barnaby Mosaic....

Brilliant day at Oakwood

I really have had a brilliant day. I know I was looking forward to going to Oakwood but I enjoyed the time there more than anticipated.

We started off by soaking some tiles to get the backing paper off...

...it was a long job...

...which took lots of concentration...

...and laughter...

...and chit chat...

After lunch, we got down to the serious business of placing the tiles and fixing them down.

I can honestly say that this panel has been made with fun and friendship running through it.  I enjoyed myself so much, I am going back to finish it with the group very soon.

Well done to EVERYONE at Oakwood Centre.  Thank you for having me!

Mosaic Mural - St John's School Bollington

Phew!

What a lovely day yesterday - being dropped off around the corner from the mill to the very lovely St. John's School, in Bollington, by my very lovely fiance.

Mrs Roberts and the children from St. John's did such a lovely job on the hospice mosaic that it was a delight for me to go to their school so they could participate in the Macclesfield FC Community Mosaic Mural.

Here are some pictures of how their panel is getting on...

Fun is part of the plan, too!

Some serious concentration...

And I am about to take this panel to the Fermaine Centre. Come back tomorrow for an update!

Crossroads for Carers

What a lovely evening!

Last night I went to Congleton and spend a couple of hours with some lively teenagers and staff.  

Around 20 contributed to the mosaic! 

Here are some hands in action...
