This morning we had plenty of volunteers working on the design, some carried on the positioning of the camomile heads, which has meant we are well ahead of ourselves. Today sees the start of the main board. Margaret has drawn the picture onto paper and then Helen transfers the design onto the clay. Helen and her Mum will then spend the next two days creating the wonderful focal point for this well dressing.
I begin adding some of the colour to the boards that surround the main design. The petals we are using this year are mainly carnations and some hydrangeas. Petals are placed on the clay starting from the bottom, overlapping and working upwards, so that a tiled effect is created. If it rains then the water is more likely to run off, instead of getting trapped in the petals.
The petal design below should give you a clue as to what Yew Tree Well Dressing is all about.
