Alice Gets All Artistic

Our lovely neighbour Kata's little boy Krisztian has been very busy learning about London, including The Great Fire Of London, in school and as such, had been given a crafty assignment to complete at home, for which there was a certificate and points at stake.

Well, it was a no brainer that the ever fragrant Alice offer to help the little man while, in turn, giving the forever busy Kata a chance to catch her breath.  

It has to be said that Alice, at times, is apt to hide her light under a bushel as far being creative is concerned, but trust me, she really is the Queen of the PVA bottle and all manner of other crafty materials, being particularly adept, I would say, in the art of scrunched up tissue paper ..........

...... a skill just perfect for making a facsimile bonfire, using a tealight under a clear, plastic cup, covered with said paper, to give the illusion of flickering flames, along with a string of tiny, battery operated lights in amongst the logs to represent sparks spitting from the fire and gold tinsel for extra effect.

It was a absolute triumph and dare I say an emotional one to boot, worthy of A*++++, a PhD. and maximum pointage for the little fella and trust me I'm in no way biased!!!!

Then, as if that wasn't enough, they moved onto the most magnificent and most anatomically correct Union Flag, ever to be created on blue card with red crepe paper and strips of white A4, again, there wasn't a dry eye in the house, when they'd finished!

Young Krisztian and Alice dun gud, bring on the next school project as Alice's is ready, willing and able .......... !!!!
