Mini moorland scene

Today I made little well dressings (see Monday's photo) with a group of children and I made one myself too. The children made some fantastic ones and I'm quite pleased with my own efforts, though you'll have to use a fair bit of imagination with it, lol. This is supposed to be a rocky moorland scene, with a little heather in flower and a curlew flying over. It was a bit of fun if nothing else!

A very creative piece of art work , well done. I expect the children loved doing theirs.

Very creative - I bet the kids loved doing that

[Andy Rogers]

Fantastic effect with all the different materials!

[Mary Downing Hahn]

What fun it must have been to assemble the materials and come up with such nice composition -- but what is a well dressing?

I'll soon be posting some more photos of real well dressings on my blog (like in Monday's photo) if you're interested, I'll add the link soon, but in the mean time, here are some links to explain this old, local tradition.

Well, I had Hen Cloud in mind at the time, but I'll take Ramshaw, glad it looks like something!

This is fabulous Louise and I love the idea of the children doing this too. Sounds great fun!

Thanks, and don't worry about commenting. I've not been too good at it myself lately!
