make memory sticks- and be part of a potential exhibition!

Today's session can be used to create special memories- perhaps for a party, an anniversary or wedding, or to remind yourself of a walk or a place you have visited. Its' essential you bring objects, collections of leaves, flowers, perhaps seedheads, or pages (or photocopies) of poetry, letters, little keys, pieces of crockery, broken jewellery, invitations, tiny packets etc. Some will be bound so you can't see what they are- hidden under the yarn and thread bound round twigs or sticks, some you can fix on the top to peek out, some could be on threads or even crocheted mini chains of yarn. (or perhaps fine wire?)

Really there is so much opportunity to create some really special individual pieces. Only your imagination will limit what you produce!

It would be good if you could bring some sticks as well- do you want to make something really large, or use little twigs? What scale do you want your memory sticks to be?

I am thinkiing of exhibiting our memory sticks at some point- if you'd like to participate that would be fantastic! We will need to make a good collection of them and we will need to introduce our work to our audience as everyone's sticks will have different stories to tell!
