Magpie Maker

I am a crafty person. Art teacher by trade and aspiring up-cycler, maker and mum when at home. My family moved into an ex MOD officer's house in Norwich in 2011 and since that time we have been trying to get the house from plain shabby to 'shabby chic' on a very limited budget. I like to try a bit of everything and just enjoy being creative. I like collecting and sharing ideas. If I can make it myself I will. I love a good bargain. If I can find or make something for free, even better!

Go Go Gorillas.

For those of you who don't already know, Norwich has been taken over by a band of brightly painted gorillas both large and small. BBC News - Norwich Go Go Gorillas 'life-size' art-trail revealed www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-norfolk-23029545
This follows on from the huge success of the Go Elephants project back in 2008. The project is raising money for the charities Born Free and Break. For more info, please visit www.gogogorillas.co.uk

There is a map of the trail so that you can go Gorilla spotting. If you do, watch out for the Sprowston High School gorilla which I painted with a group of my students.

Here is a pic of Rufus and I posing with the gorilla which is in a shop front on London Street.
