The Great Oak Tree is finished and waiting stacked carefully, ready for the installation. The ceramic leaves and acorns made by the children will be laid directly into the adhesive when the whole piece goes into place at the end of the month! So near..
I brought the works and everything back to my rather full, lovely house as the holidays were imminent. The consequence is, I now have little in the way of a living room but at least nobody minds and I can work on the panels whenever I need to!
The Bee Lines continue and may well lead to several honey bees!
The Great Oak Tree symbolises Gladstone Road Infants School. And pictorially the colouring of the bark of the tree and the beautifully vivid Victorian red bricks are interpreted together, with the cutting of the tiles being what differentiates. Odd Dandelion Seed from the first 'clock' (time being the journey) drifts gently across the sky around. A small dandelion flower is a reminder of the origin of the seed and links to the oaks leaves and acorns.
In this shot one gets an idea of the scale of this particular mosaic panel!
The Oak Tree begins to be revealed as he brown paper is washed away.
