Make and Take a SUCCESS!! haha!!!

So , Here we are at the Shephard valley Creamery doing the BIG  FREE Make and Take!!!  WOW   LOTTA WORK!!!!  I created the two different sheep for kids to create at the shearing festival on Saturday!  All week long I sewed a hundred tiny felt Sheep bodies, got my supplies together..and made my PLAN!!   
My friend Heather said that she would come and help, ..I was doing this on my own, so I welcomed her.  WELL!!!!  THANK GOD!!!!   All the plannung I did, could never have prepared me for the Day!!!



When we arrived, the creamery offered us a wonderful talented helper, she is a  12 year old "Sprouting" artist..we could not have done it with out her!



 " WOW....tons of kids...every kid that walked by wanted to make the "Tiny Lamb dolls"  Oh, and so did their PARENTS!!!   Once the ball got rolling there was no turning back...Heather was on her game...and she Quickly made new rules!!!   I dont remember even seeing faces or bodies after a while..just tiny hands...with glue and sheep hair flocking stuck to them!!!






All in all it was a fantastic experience and it was a thrill to introduce ART to childeren..

I got tired just looking at all the work that you put into this . The sheep are darling and thank goodness for the help that Heather gave to the event. You two are something wonderful.

Wow! It sounds like it went well in spite of all the demands and the children sound terrific. I've done much smaller make and takes with children and I know how much work it is.
