Team Willow rocking it at Body and Soul Festival June 2012

I returned for a second time to the Body & Soul Festival at Ballinlough Castle in Co. Westmeath with an increased Team Willow in tow this time! Myself and Cathy Eastman (good friend from days working down at Kerry Earth Education Project - see link below!) led team willow. Our main project was building and decorating the main entrance into the main stage area, see piccys below. We combined tissue and willow discs with a simple criss-cross willow fence at the base, and our saviour Rob built us the basic archway on which to erect all our art work! We also made large dry willow and tissue trees which decorated the main stage area, the usual ground lanterns in the woods, a few other small projects, oh and most importantly, there was a festival baby born to our decor boss while we were there! very exciting!

Electric Picnic - Living Willow!

 Electric Picnic - Living Willow!

Ok! Very lazy this autumn on keeping the news flowing! Big project of the summer was Lucy working on the Electric Picnic, along with Cathy Eastman from KEEP, the girls oversaw the willow fence crew in the Body and Soul area, where they built some unusual fences, one based on the double helix, and another was a bit more Alice in Wonderland! We did the main enterance to the Body and Soul and the entrance to the Zen garden, I got to work on a giant dream catcher for a new entrance into the Body and Soul which was very exciting, and it has to be said looked pretty deadly when it was up!
