Great fun making these 'Penny Pictures' today at Reynolds Retirement Living. You start by drawing round a penny to make the circle shapes, so you can see how tiny these pictures are. They are made using felt pens - have a go!

Some members of the Garden Court care home art group visited the Letchworth OPEN art exhibition yesterday. We have a collaborative art piece exhibited here - the lovely tree you see behind us. It is called THE CIRCLE OF LIFE. Each member of our art group made one or more leaves to symbolise the movement of nature through Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter. The leaves were then stuck onto the central tree make to make this great collage. It reminds us that as humans we are part of nature and we too have had our Spring and will reach our Winter.
