'One World, One Beat' World thinking Day with Girl Guides

We had a lovely Saturday creating a celebrational mosaic (photo to come) with many rainbows, brownies, girl guides, senior members as part of the 100th birthday celebrations at Wiltshire college, a great big space for many hundreds that joined in from the South West of England. There was over 18,500 members of Girlguiding enjoying 'One World One Beat' thinking day over the Uk.
All the participants including leaders were a joy to work with! The finished mosaic will be hung at South West region HQ St Anns Manor in the gardens in the coming weeks (depending on the weather - as it was trying to snow as we were driving home!).

Update and waving Kubella off to her new life..

So here are the final hours of Kubella..

I had mixed blessings when the Eco men and their van came to collect Kubella over a week ago; on one hand she is at the start of her new journey in London with the herd of 249 other elephants, but on a personal note it meant the end of working on her with the local community ( 160+ people stuck tiles onto her somewhere!) and the wonderful working environment of the now sadly closed Kube gallery and the staff there.

I do have had an update- all the elephants will be in London somewhere ( The charity whom Kubella was mosaiced for The Elephant Family)from Monday 3rd May 2010. They are awaiting planning permission from the City of London and surrounding areas and then will finally let us know where she will be. She will also feature in a book sold in Selfridges and be auctioned at Sotherby's later in the summer to raise funds for this charity.

Vistors and grouting!

Kubella is almost a star in her own right, with a visit from the Mayor & Mayoress of Poole no less! Many people have taken photos of her, well she is starting to look stunning. I have started the grouting and will try to finish tomorrow. Here are the images..including Emily hopkins and Tigger eating Kubella's banana!
