Day trip to Sweden

 Krapperup Slot, slot means castle.

 The best Apple juice ever!!! From Höganäs.
The Grand Hotel, Mölle, Sweden.

We ended the day by shopping as every store in Denmark was closed that Thursday for Easter. The parking lots were filled with Danish cars everywhere we went. 

Vision Book meeting 7 & project 9

 
We started off our Vision Book meeting by each of us making a weaving.
First, we each filled a paper with color from pastels, cut them into strips, and we traded strips to make a unique piece symbolizing how our uniqueness is woven into the community. Our kids joined in too seeing that it was Easter break and they were home from school. This was fun to do with grownups and kids!

Project #8 - Picasso inspired collage painting


All students began with a stack of the same papers.
We made a collage inspired by the Picasso work we discussed in the gallery.
The final result, a painting after the collage we made.

Spring project - International Folkebåd Facelift - Day 3

We only got a little scraping done on Monday after work. I like the combination of colors here. Our project has been delayed the past few days because of the cold and rainy weather.

 Progress

The scraping continued on Sunday. The weather was extremely beautiful, the leaves are budding, the air was warm, and people came out of hiding to stroll around the harbor with an ice cream.
