Horsing Around at Grange Place

A lovely up-cycling / recycling project at Grange Place,these plywood hobby horse heads came from the local scrap recycling store. They provided a great support for pattern making and paint. They were going to become planter markers at The Green Patch but everyone was so proud of their work they wanted to put them in their own gardens! You can see more here

Heart Felt

Carole worked with people at 

Grange Place and The Green Patch

where pairs of felt hearts were chosen

and a design applied by needle felting.

 Lots of care was taken not to stab fingers in the process!

The pairs of hearts were then sewn together, a small

gap was left open to add stuffing then sewn up.

 If you would like to show someone a little love

Hearts and wild flowers, what could be nicer!

Meeting and Making Part 1

It was a gorgeous sunny afternoon and the Green Patch were having a picnic with a bit of a Halloween theme!

Our artists, Carole Miles and Phiona Richards took the opportunity to do some meeting and making for our View From Here project.

There were paper linch bags and insect stamps

for people to make their own Halloween Goody Bag
