Fun comes hand-in-hand the new school year
Oh, what fun it is to get back to work after a couple
of weeks on holiday and jump straight into a really exciting arty project.
The association where I work in Nürnberg is celebrating
fifty years of providing help of all sorts to disabled clients and their families!
‘That’s the golden anniversary’ I said to the boss when
we met at the summer fete in June, and that is how the event that we have been
asked to present at the City Hall on Friday got its name – ‘The Golden Fashion
Show’.
Ten children have been given permission to leave
school and Kindergarten early on Friday so that they can walk the cat-walk in
their hand-made costumes in front of the Mayor and Lady Mayoress, and all the
presidents, directors, governors, and many more big-wigs, who will be making,
and listening to, speeches. We have been invited to provide a break, in what
otherwise could be a rather dull occasion, by contributing just a little bit of
glitter and some glamour.
When I got back from my holiday I was thrilled to
discover that so many people had got involved in collecting ‘golden rubbish’
from which we have created our Haute Couture Recycled Collection 2012. There were
bags full of sweet wrappings, coffee packaging and even some emergency foil
blankets, for the children to choose from to create their costumes.
The children are just full of ideas and have a really
clear image of what they wish to look like when they have their artworks
finished.
Someone asked me today whether we were under pressure
of time and feeling the stress of the important occasion.
Of course not!
The children are so excited and having a ball,
dressing up in their golden robes and making sure that everything fits and
stays just where they want it.

The only costume that is not yet finished is my own. But it will be ready soon. It has to be as my dress rehearsal is tomorrow evening!
