I'd never come across this, before, until it was mentioned in a Raggy Robin email. Absolutely stunning.

It's on display very near me, too. I shall have to venture over there, after half term.

Oooooh it is finished  :D I remember reading about that last year!
It is stunningly beautiful isn't it.
As it neared the top of the grade, it went more slowly. However, it still kept saying, "I—think—I—can, I—think—I—can." It reached the top by drawing on bravery and then went on down the grade, congratulating itself by saying, "I thought I could,  I thought I could."

I saw it at the Fashion and Textile Museum last year.  It was unbelievable.  I couldn't get very close to it as there were so many people there but it was incredible.  Definitely worth seeing if you get a chance x

I appear to have confused the hamsters keeping this place going by trying to post a photo that was too big. Anyhow, having seen it up close (and it wasn't too busy to get up close) I can say that it is an amazing piece of work. Eldest was impressed, too but the photo he sent me is the one that is too big!

I took a whim to visit the exhibition.  It is really worth seeing in person especially the venue. As well as a venue for exhibitions, there is a fabulous park with playground, climby things for children and loads of space to run around.  I was sorely tempted.

The dress will be back in the UK later this year, Bristol in May.

It is a lovely museum and park. I hadn't been there before but Eldest used to regularly visit with school. The tickets last a year do we will definitely be returning for the comic book exhibition and the gardens, in the Spring.


There was a big wedding party there when we were leaving.
