Grace, pigeons, and the sun

Yesterday GrandDaughter2 and I investigated some more of Swansea Arts Festival.

An open arts workshop proved very popular with people. We wanted to do some printing but made collages while waiting.

The theme of both my pieces is Grace to tie in with the pilgrimage I'm on. I could see very clearly in my head what I wanted to print. It didn't turn out exactly like that but I'm still pleased with it. I used U2's song, Grace, as my inspiration.

There was only white material in the workshop so I brought my shapes home and used some material from Daughter's stash.

And when she walks on the street

You can hear the strings

Grace finds goodness

In everything

Because Grace makes beauty

Out of ugly things

Then we hurried around town - a bit more than would have been necessary if I'd checked exactly where everything was happening - in time to see the pigeons.

And the sun!

A circus group was there too and GrandDaughter2 tried out stilt-walking, hula-hooping around strange things i.e. not just the waist, and spinning plates. The queue for the trapeze type stuff was a bit long and it was getting late in the afternoon so we missed that.

It was pleasant weather and there were crowds out, in a lovely community atmosphere. It felt good.
