Kubella is taking shape

The last week has been very busy at Kube gallery. Kubella has had loads of mosaic tiles applied and is starting to take shape. She was visited by a conservative MP on Friday, I will post the photo a little later in the week, when I have it!

Karen and members a senior citzen home visited (Karen and Mr.March in photo) and were a wizz at sticking on tiles, followed by a nice cup of tea.

Kubella will be finished this week, I hope to start grouting on Wednesday, as the mayor of Poole is visiting on Friday to see the finished product..so, I need to say thanks in advance to the helpers!! Keep the tea coming...!!

Her 'wave' inspired mosaic coat is taking shape and just awaiting the last dark blue to be applied to her back and some of her trunk. Small details to be finished around the legs..

Saturday was a busy day at Kube as you might have seen in the press, due to the protest of the closure of the gallery. It was also a productive day for sticking on tiles for Kubella! Hannah added some hidden 'special tiles' and laods of other ones too! Thanks Hannah!!

Bex helped today and Kubella now has a rather lovely blue bottom and tail! Thanks Bex!

Kubella has had many visitors this week and here are a few photos:

Susie, Adrian, Graham, Jaquin, Isaac and Hannah stuck their tiles onto Kubella on Saturday. Kubella is progressed to the secord blue of the design. Still a way to go!

Due to the snow, Kubella hasn't been mosaiced for a couple of days this week, but the lettering has been finished today. Kubella also has had a visitor - Rob Smith from WAVE. Kubella is hoping for more of her new mosaic coat to be finished tomorrow.

Poole Hospital Christmas fun!

I would like to say thank you to Poole Hospital Children's unit, who made me feel so welcome before Xmas, where I ran a free badge making session for a bit of Christmas fun with the children, and the parents and staff joined in too! Butterflies, rockets and Christmas trees were the favourites. Oliver Sawyer made some lovely badges with drawn in extras. I will load up the photos a bit later.
