Tuesday was a day of wild creativity. Once the team start to get into the idea the creative juices flow. The Throne of Knowledge has been tranformed into a peacock of aqua and gold -It looks so good I had to go and buy myself a shirt to match. Thanks Simon for persuading me - I've bonded with it!
The terracotta pots for Moroccan Magic have taken on hues of orange, yellow and cobalt blue - are they too bright? In the dark shed they do make you flinch a little but the colour is very authentic and when cooled by green foliage and terracotta tiles
they will be fine.The statuary is amazing and we've all fallen in love with the Goddess Kartika - she's beautiful even w
hen sitting on a dreary pallet - I wonder how long it will be before she is draped in a high viz. jacket?Sue and Andy have been assembling a variety of accessories - all these little details help to tell the story. A Moroccan teapot and glasses arrived for MM. Some great masks for Venetian Adventure. I made the mistake of suggesting a feather boa and satin basque for this section - guess what arrived in the post this morning? - You think I'm joking - wait and see.
It's great when everyone starts to get into Chelsea mode - it helps to take my mind off the cold weather - minus 3 again this morning! Flowers are still slow on foxgloves, roses and other blooming treasures - some will not make it - there's no point kidding ourselves. Not a lot can be done - It's in the lap of the Gods - Come on Kartika - Do us a favour!
Wednesday - Time to choose the trees. Thursday - Loading up. Watch this space.
