Dave’s Diary - 32nd Blog

Jemima completed her Space rabbit called Neil, she named her astronomical piece Neil (likely after Neil Armstrong - the first man on the moon who apparently originated from a part of the UK namely the Borders). Neil Space rabbit was made over 2 sessions using paint and collage, and using a variety of techniques that were manageable for Jemima. She used glue and collage to make the helmet using black tissue paper, then paint to create the Doctor Who tunnel background that made her work look like a time travel tunnel with vivid colours mixed in. She then sued sponge and fingers to paint the features of the helmet and the rabbit’s features. It’s one of the best art works so far!

Also I’m going to join Disability Arts Online and begin using their tools to appeal to other artists and general public - they offer a blog to talk about the latest news online, which should be useful fo Blind Create.

I’m also talking to ‘Outside In’ which caters for Disabled Artists so I am hoping to develop some interest with this online group.
