I am beyond excited to finally see the Keepsake Installation finished and installed at the beautiful Broughton Hall Estate…I`m so pleased it actually got to go in a window! The original idea was to hang it from two trees, but this window was perfect! The group, who participated, celebrated in the cosmic garden in the sunshine.
I was so happy to go along to Airville park near Skipton and see the keepsake packages being used! Especially as the rain had delayed them being used for so long! but the sun shone and I met some lovely people….it made me realise how much I miss doing face to face workshops.
Ritchie was obviously a big help too!
I was so happy to see participants relaxing and using the activity mindfully…..and by focusing on the process beautiful things were created…

I have been working on getting all the packages ready for the Keepsake project, commissioned by RuraL Arts North Yorkshire, and I have been having such a lovely time creating (what I like to call), collage doodles. I have been using pin pricks and putting coloured window film behind the holes, so the light shines through…..this will mirror what will happen in the final installation. These are just some of the designs I came up using bits of laser cut paper, tape, pen, different japanese papers and window film… (there are 50 of them!), so I`ll share more of them later. They will appear on the front of the pack, to hopefully inspire and make the packages feel special.

I am asking community members to create a pin hole design…doing this repetitive activity is so meditative and sooooo good for our well being, because it connects to our right brain, also the results from something so simple are really beautiful.
