Here are the highlights from the festival Jan 2011.
It all started as a small project for the kids at a lantern making workshop held in town, which worked well.....the kids were distracted and gravitated towards playing together in a large open are, while the parents looked on while making the balloon lanterns, the easiest type to make.
However by the end of the 1 1/2 hr session Heather and Finlay were proud of what had been accomplished and their well earned touch of added sprinkles.
So when Dad saw our creation it got his imagination and gave him inspiration to create something that the kids would remember. James had the week off between Christmas and New years and the project began.
Dad started the basic construction with a little help with the wire twisting and then the kids were able to help with pasting and sticking the colour decoration of Thomas.
a few more touches to do.
and bingo, Thomas lantern was created.
This little light of mine........
......I'm gonna make it shine......
......let it shine let it shine all the time.
