Some time ago I posted on the fact that I had been selected to work with the Beerwah Resource Centre to design a piece of art work for a 12x4m wall at the entrance to the Beerwah Library. The work was to be constructed by the Beerwah Resource Centre out of recycled material (mainly corrugated iron); and to be installed by the Sunshine Coast Council. Well the work is finished and installed.

It is quite big and colourful - Christmassy without being OTT. The mountains represent the local Glasshouse Mountains; the children are filled with joy; the stars both represent the stars of Christmas but also connect the piece; and the book has cut out words such as celebrate, family etc.
oh wow! wow! wow! that's COOL!! and it's BIG!! it's so wonderful to see your own art piece in a public area isn't it? i guess you must be so use to it, but for small crafters like me ... it's intriguing. i probably never know how it feels like to exhibit my work!
