What a great recommendation!

Roisin has shared her talents with us on many occasions over the past five years.  Her approach is community orientated.  Activities are inherently collaborative and inclusive.  Roisin’s work is diverse, vibrant and engaging.  She plays on the natural curiosity of participants, and helps children and adults realise fulfilling creative achievements.

CAN Summer Camp 2010

It is such a privilege to work with children. Have a look below at some of the great work going on this week at the Cottage Autism Network Summer camp, so glad they invited me to work with them. Looking through magazines was the start of the older group noticing typefaces.

Then they started to make some images and their name through collage by cutting out letters and shapes.Some of the children were very inventive. They designed a large initial from their name on A3 paper and we've been spending time making them 3D. When they are dry we shall be decorating them and each individual will have a mini sculpture of one of their initials.

The junior classes were working with funky junk today we had a great session making under water sea creatures. We were having so much fun I forgot to take some photos (that often happens).

One of the boys drew this fantastic monster that we are making a 3D version of...

Tomorrow felt making is planned for the younger group and aluminum can construction will be the order of the day for the older group but not before some fun and games in the yard.

Web applications

I love word clouds but I fear I will never use Wordle.net again I have discovered http://www.tagxedo.com/
move your mouse or cursor icon over the text and see what happens. I love it!
Check out their gallery it has images like this...

I'm not sure I can wait to find a way to use text in an image like this... stitched and beaded on a textile? printed in an etching?
I've already used it on my http://creativedynamic.blogspot.com to visualise the exercises that were done by the American Women’s Club Professional Network group during our conversation on creativity last month look.
