We have a wonderful large weaving frame that Grandfather Brian made for us last year. It is always present in our room and tends to be an evolving and ever changing work of art. At one point it was covered in long pink and purple ostrich feathers that had been donated to us… but they were so beautiful that they occasionally disappeared out the door as the children departed for home! I think the fluffy ‘boas’ may have sucumbed to the same fate! Then of course some pieces are retrieved overtime to appear in other art projects that may be underway.
On this day, two children found some little bells (left over from Xmas I believe) that they thought would be a wonderful addition to the frame.
Quite a tricky process for the girls… they really struggled to secure the bells to the frame… but such perseverence!
Eventually they asked me for some help, and… with a bit of ‘intentional teaching’… the girls were off on a roll with their new found knot making skills.
