Behold - CRAFT MUM (not)

Dylan has a project every month to do for school. He has to read a book, take a test on the book, write a report on the characters, setting and plot of the book, and usually do some art work by way of drawing to depict his favourite scene.

This months art project - a "Diorama".

I am NOT a craft type person at all, so this was a fairly horrific project for me.

Anyway- the book was Roald Dahl's "Georges Marvellous Medicine". The scene was where George has given his Grandmother a drink of said medicine, and she grows very very tall and bursts through the roof!

We (jointly) got a box and we "wallpapered" it and "carpeted" it with paper. Then we stuck dolls house furniture in to make it appear like a living room. We made figures out of clay ... Dylan did this part... then painted them... then stuck hair on using wool.....then stuck the grandmothers head on the top of the box so it looked like it had burst through.

Needless to say, we are not artists, lol.
