Today we did drawing from objects - I brought along a lot of colourful toys, plastic fruit & flowers, fridge magnets, ornaments etc plus some big sheets of coloured sugar paper, pastels & pens and the group drew from what they liked.
As usual I'm blown away by the scope of what people at DICE draw - from abstracts to realistic depictions of what they see.
The meeting this afternoon focussed a lot on where the funding for the group is going to come from, as it's now very low. Several ideas were put forward, applications are being put in and I hope that these lovely folks will get the cash they need to keep the Dice rolling. The best thing about this group is how user-led it is, which makes it fun, always surprising and very informal - also very empowering for the people who use the drop-in.
I've got some ideas to get blog entries from those who don't use computers, so that it's not just me going on all the time, too :)
Highlights of the day - the huge smile on Mark's face when he arrived and saw Bik, Laura singing Abba songs, Mark O's undersea drawing and the group's contributions to the meeting (which makes meetings a lot more fun than they usually are!).
