After asking our readers to show off their lockdown creations in our last edition, we were pleased to have received many beautiful photographs of art works.
From fork bracelets, to model canons, many are clearly getting their creative juices flowing at home and we love to see
it.
Julian Seymour from Constantia created a model 17th century naval cannon, which he made during May of lockdown.
Julian made the lathe first which enabled him to turn the cannon.
Madison Walters, who is a Grade 7 pupil at Springfield Convent in Wynberg, received a brief from school in May to create a portrait wearing a Covid-19 mask.
The project was created to give the pupils the opportunity to think honestly about their emotions during the lockdown period.
Madison’s portrait speaks of her emotions relating to Covid-19 and on the back of the #BlackLivesMatter protests in the USA and locally calling for a more equitable and just
society.
Les Demetriou from Tokai has been making fork bracelets and cake fork rings during lockdown. She says it has been great fun and each one is different.
In his first attempt at painting since his teens, Mike Tamlin, who is now in his 70s, did a fun painting of boats sailing over several days ending on May 26.
Debbie Marshbank, who has not painted for many years, thought she would try again while in lock-
down. She painted a beautiful pink flower.
