iPhone sketch.

Waiting to see the doc. Thought I'd give this new app a try.

Installation continues despite the weather. Dedication's what you need.

I am blogging from the warmth of my home after a cold, windy and wet day installing the first leggy bug. All went well with Chris Bonham as my wing man again but there wasn't enough time to hang a second one. We've found our groove and I've had a "duh!" moment regarding the design of the legs which should make things even easier on Wednesday.

At least the cows have gone now- they caused all manner of delay and worry last week. And they slobbered all over my car windows.

We're getting geared up for the celebration. One of the parents from the school is a magician and he'll be unveiling- I'll let you know more as soon as I can. To be sure of an invite submit you're email at the top of this blog.

Special thanks to Jenny Ashley for submitting some excellent pictures of work in progress- some of which are here.

Thanks then.

And they're up.

The sculptures for Kaye's Millenium Green are now starting to be installed. A parent from the school has been helping me out this week. He's a methodical man which makes him an ideal fella to tie your knots and hold the ladder. It also makes him an excellent picture framer- see him at Springfield Hobbies.

Three down with only minor problems- the cows took a great interest in the ladder sometimes.

We're looking at launching the project on Friday the fourteenth of October. Watch this space for a press release, hope to see you there.

Kaye's Day two.

Back to Kaye's today to finish painting the different bits of the insect sculptures. It's a bit of a whirlwind of decision making and frantic painting, and the kids have responded amazingly. The final outcome is far busier and has a celebratory feel that I hadn't expected- they remind me of Easter eggs, or Giles Brandreth's sweaters. Excellent.

'Scuse the quality of the pics- they were taken in Shiela's shed.

Kaye's again again again again..

Phew!

Monday saw the youngsters visiting the willow dome at the school in bin-liner clad droves. they did a fantastic job of putting down all the base colours AND most importantly not getting any of the legs mixed up.

Tomorrow the details and patterns go onto the sculptures and we're ready to install. Here's praying for good weather- the willow dome is an ideal place to work. Thanks to Angie and Headteacher for preparing the space and the kids so well.

Life class and random dragon fly.

Here's some pictures from a recent life class and a photo of the dragon fly for Kaye's Millenium Green hanging on the studio wall. They're going to be painted by the children from the school next week and then installed ready for a celebration day in October- news to come.

Just laying all the pieces of the Kaye's millennium green project out. The kids are back at school and we'll be painting these soon, so I need to treat the timber against rot. I think we may have got carried away.
