Love is Everywhere

Using empty toilet paper and paper towel rolls and a little paint and ribbon, we created these hanging sculptures to enjoy for Valentines Day. There was a huge amount of variety and vivaciousness to each sculpture, although they were very hard to capture with the camera lens. Here are just a few;

Beau's piece above turned out very close to his initial sketch. Hearts and spirals!

Katie above, wearing her project like a giant necklace.

Each artist also wrote on a heart about something they love, pinned it to the dress form and that itself became a work of art and love! By the end of the week the dress form was covered.

"Grandma & Grandpa"  "My Dog," "Star Wars," "Music," "Magic The Gathering," "Money," "Iggy, my dog," " My cats, my fish, my hermit crab," "Chocolate," "Mama & Dada," "Candy," "Halo 4," "My dog Foxy," "World of Tanks," "Life," "My friends," "Turkey Bacon," etc.

 Way to go Chaney (above)! Cool the way the flower seems to be bursting with hearts!

I love the way AiLi added a pig face, above!

Amelia created a wonderful bunny, then decided to keep it separate from her piece.

 Topher (piece above) can always pull of an amazing piece, and do a whole bunch of playing and running during break and have a full snack. How can he fit it all in?

Introducing the fabulous Zeah. A natural artist and so much zest and personality!

 Lukas is a innovative builder, always finding a new way to construct and create! This piece had a lot of movement too (above).

 Aoife created a unique 'window to the soul' with hearts and a spray of flowers! See the heart on the right? I love the way it's bursting out of the frame!
