All of the pieces created were auctioned off at the festival. They did not ask me to do it again this year. I'm a little sad but also a little relieved, it was a major commitment.
I posted these projects on my other blog Art Spectrum(now gone). I will post another one of these group projects next week.

That looks very cool! I've often thought of offering something like that when my kids were younger, but the time involved pulled me back. I just wish there was more time for me to do the things I want to do.
