Daisy was busy over the weekend making french knitted necklaces and plaited friendship bracelets ready to take to school this morning - each one had to be in the right colour for the right friend and individually wrapped with a name label! 
She also made a cute little papier mache bee....he is SOooo sweet....

Buzzy little Bee!

The process I go through to make one of my papier mache Julie Arkell inspired creatures.........begins as something rather messy and unrecognisable and finishes up as what I think, is quite a cute "small person"! 

Scrunch and shape....

some sticks for stability........

sticky sloppy wallpaper paste and heaps of layers........

almost there.....!

Ready to dress - a coat of varnish and some clothes!
