A few things... with cutbacks in arts education funding schools want to 'get the most' out of the artists they have into schools. So someone thought it would be a good idea if I went into a school and worked with 4 groups of 50 children over the course of a day to make itsy bitsy matchbox books - kids between the ages of 4-11 - together. As you can imagine, I have been grumpy about this as the day looms ever nearer. The topic is FAR EAST FEAST which is quite evocative but do you think 4-11 year olds in close proximity to a UK army base will think so? Luckily this situation is probably good for my own creativity, ultimately, and I have to admit that I like a good passion fruit. I've decided my fall back activity will be a postcard so I guess I'll be cutting cardboard tomorrow. Oh and this card started as a trial for a mailart call about emotion.

I vote for doing the postcards, save your sanity!
