The Jungle Book - Paper Python

Some of The Jungle Book Kaa paper pythons from my children's workshop. 

I run workshops in schools, community centres, churches, museums, nurseries, hospitals and community centres. 

Using shape cutters to decorate paper pythons. 

Projects range from painting, printing, creating mosaics, bunting, henna, card making, knitting and more. 

Very impressive - hanging paper python, hypnotic eyes and all. 

My  workshops provide a chance to not only explore and learn different techniques, but to have fun creatively in a friendly, supportive and inspiring way. 

Work in progress, love the heart eyes and big smile.

Meet "Chocolate," sweet name for a snake but why not. Love how this boy used the cutters to make holes in the snake's body instead. 

I love how the parents join in too, I sure they enjoy it just as much! 

Using butterflies as the snake's spots. 

Finished Jungle Book paper python, I love the colours! 

This girl had a broken arm but she did not let that stop her. Love the face. 

My Henna and Art Workshops

I really enjoy delivering creative workshops to allow people to have a go at henna or different arts and crafts. I run these in various local places like community centres, schools, churches, museums stay and play groups and more!

These photos are from one of my henna workshops through Birmingham Ikon Gallery, held with the Friendship Club for the Retired group at St Edburgha's Church.

These workshops were based on my masterclass with Artist if the year Imran Qureshi.

Kids love art, particularly on themselves. So how about a temporary henna tattoo like this one that I created on a really young child recently. 

I do henna events for children.

Henna Tattoos

I absolutely love having henna! It's cultural, traditional - yet moves with the times and it looks so beautiful - any excuse and I'm there! Here are just 3 henna photos but visit again soon as I have so much more to talk about and show you all in the future - Exciting!

This design moves from the hands, extending up the arm. Complimenting Indian clothes and jewellery. 

Henna is also popular on the feet with glitter and colours for a modern twist. 

A beautiful henna pattern on hands and wrists. Perfect for any occasion. 

Visit again soon for more henna info and photos of this beautiful art.
