Fling in the Spring!

An event you can feel good about!

I am sure many of you agree that it is about time we had a bit of sunshine here in the UK and after such a harsh winter Spring is just round the corner…it maybe a big corner but it’s there!  And what better way to celebrate the thaw than stepping into a party frock and celebrating country style…

For the past few months I have been involved with the organisation of a charity ball in aid of Jamie’s Farm, situated in the beautiful countryside surrounding Bath.

Thier Mission: “To support the development of vulnerable young people by providing opportunities for achievement, wellbeing and sustainable change in an agricultural setting.”

The team at the farm work hard to help these children explore activities that encourage, teamwork, a healthy lifestyle and safe outlet for an abundance of energy.  Children are involved in taking care of the animals, cooking, countryside walks and creative activities.  Jamie’s Farm Spring Fling is an evening of music, dancing and fine food, and you don’t need any excuses to attend this splendid event, bring your friends and help support this wonderful cause.

Aside from being involved with such an inspiring charity, the ball has also provided me the opportunity to explore my creative side.  I was asked to design some images for the ball, that had a village fete theme.  Thinking about dancing and nature and the sense of spring in the air…

Inspired by these images, I began to think about Flower Fairies, those little fuchsias remind my of two ladies dancing.

Eventually I came up with these little dancers, the shape of the petals and reminded me of swaying dresses.  Thanks to Tom’s technical wizardry, my sketches were transformed into these neat, line drawings.  This little project has inspired me to do more illustrative work.

I hope to see you there
