The first few of the Japanese Koinobori windsocks have been finished by the children
This project has taken a while because there was so much work including Sharpie tie dye to colour the fabric, stitch details on the tail and scales, foiling to add more scales and sewing sequins for more scales! The ribbons and sequins flutter in the breeze to make the fish come alive!

Today's workshop was Fabric Decoupage Hearts and the end results look fab! I love how the children take a project and turn it into something unique - different colour themes, different words and Scrabble tiles at jaunty angles!
Tomorrow's workshop is black cat tote bags and I'm very much looking forward to seeing the children's outcomes!
