Hail bounteous May that dost inspire

The artwork for the 'Poetry Seen at Cowslip Sunday' banners is finally complete. Above and below you should be able to view the finished pieces. They will now go off to print today (with any luck) and then hopefully be ready for Friday of this week. The idea then is to install the work (with the assistance of some of Cowslip Sundays participants) prior to the rehearsal the takes place next Sunday.


I'm happy with the banners on the whole; I think there is a nice variety of 'poetry' included - from Shakespeare, John Clare and Milton to pupils from the local Primary School and other submissions form Lambley residents.


Now that the artwork is finished I have some trepidation about the installation itself. It is in a reasonably secluded location and will be in place for a full week before Cowslip Sunday itself. As it turned out one of the banners that was installed last year got stolen and there is little to prevent anyone from a similar act of mischief this year - should anyone be so inclined.


But hopefully it passes off without incident - and the idea generates sufficient interest for people to feel inspired to create something similar elsewhere.
