Awesome sculpture and I'd say, one utterly gobsmacked Alice Cooper! Way to go Graham :0)

Love it Dave and Jana - Congratulations!!!

Love it! So simple, yet so beautiful xx

Thanks for all the pics guys! I am sitting with a friend and she is WELL impressed! I am sitting here thinking: Graham did this part, Colin did that part.... LOVE your work :0)

Well, shiver me timbers, welcome aboard! With a yo ho ho and a bottle full of rum!

Hi all,

I'm really excited! I'm going to be on the radio in 20 minutes. It's an internet radio, so you can listen online at:

It's about my journey over the last 6 years from just starting out, to there being 3 wonderful maths clowns (our own Dave Hickory in one of them) and the journey from here!

Somebody fed him after midnight!

It really brings the sculpture to life - beautiful xx

I'm THERE! After having hastily rearranged my schedule - thanks Dave and Ian for the flexibility ) See you on the 15th!

xx

Thanks for the last five years, every Care and Share day I have attended has been of real benefit and thoroughly enjoyable....... roll on the next five years!

I love the detail of the bee on the bear's ear Thelma - great work - as always! Looking forward to hearing more about your new DVD

I always knew that when decorators start twisting (seriously and enthusiastically), great things would happen - more twisters learning decorating techniques would be fab too!

Notice, that not only has a 5" cluster been used, the sizes are graduated... VERY nice ).

Cool!

Also good for making musical instruments )

For first timers:

Graham supplies the balloons but not pumps, cutters or markers.

Bring a pump (or buy one from Graham)
Bring scissors (or a cutter - can buy one from Graham)
Bring markers - everyone is generous about lending theirs and inevitably go home with less than they arrived with!!! Best if everyone brings their own )
If there's something in particular you prefer to eat, bring it.
First and foremost bring your happy face and be ready to have a great time!

xxxxx

Quote from: "Roger"Bubblz
I do love it when subjects like maths etc are shown in a fun way, it is amazing how much children take in with out realising they are learning. I have a very good friend that is a teacher & magician who has used Magic and juggling to help teach maths and science to pupils. I have sat and watched some of his shows and learnt things myself.

Thanks for the link Roger. I have seen some unbelievable mathematical juggling - some very highbrow maths juggling too. The more the merrier and juggling is SO entrancing, especially to teenagers!

p.s. I taught someone to juggle in 10 minutes the other day - I was sick!..... It took me FOUR years!!!!! I was also VERY proud of her )
