I’m cooking a roast chicken dinner today. There’s enough for two so I will plate up a dinner for a friend in the village.
The cottage smells wonderful.
I’ve just spent a good hour with Ma Manley. We are planning a history afternoon in the village hall, in order to spring board a couple of initiatives dear to our hearts.
The first is to promote the sharing of information and artefacts from Trelawnyd but to also whip up some interesting in the Community Tapestry where people from the village can design their own tapestry of say their home, or part of the village, or landmark and when finished, these personal views can be cobbled together into a community piece of art.
I love this idea, so Ma Manley is going to design me a template of my cottage, and by the time the open day is organised, I will have a work in progress to show everyone
Ps the ponies are back in their field
What an enchanting idea and, of course, you live in an enchanted cottage yourself. How sweet is that?!
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to seeing the village in tapestry - in due time.
Hugs!
A community art project -- how wonderful!
ReplyDeleteThat sounds like a great idea. I would love to have my home immortalised in a tapestry.
ReplyDeleteThe tapestry sounds like a fantastic project, and I'm sure you'll receive plenty of support. Xx
ReplyDeleteOooh, I love that idea. Will someone be documenting each piece: who made it, what it depicts, materials used, time taken etc? I'd find that so interesting, it would bring it to life! xx
ReplyDeleteI love the ideas. Your creativity will help make it happen. I am working on a concept of an open art studio time, when we take a large meeting room, and invite the community to come, paint, draw, knit, quilt, print. Bring your work in progress, or come use the supplies we have to start something new.
ReplyDeleteHey!
ReplyDeleteWhat a brilliant idea!
ReplyDeleteJust such great idea!
ReplyDeleteThat's an exciting project, like the town quilts people made here at one time. You may want to specify a size or size range if the pieces will be formed into one textile. Your cottage painting by Ms Manley is wonderful--can you embroider? Will you learn?
ReplyDeleteWhat a brilliant idea. A lot of work, but something for posterity. Also keep a workbook that details the creation relevance and design of each piece, and a brief history of the building depicted for future generations.
