This is a photograph of the final standards for the carnival. They have been the same willow design the whole way through but they way they are displayed has chnage quite a bit. My original idea was the have the jellyfish hung on a goal like shape made from willow but after a design tutorial with Jo and Sarah I decided it was better to have them help up individually. I had planned to have them suspended from a curved willow pole right up untill my last lesson at St Andrews. After the children had added all of the decoration they gain alot of weight and when I got them home the willow poles were not strong enough so I took a bamboo pole and covered it in various fabrics and secured it inside the wiloow structure with a glue gun. I think this will be a much more secure and sturdy option and it also means that the children can move the jellyfish up and down more easily causing the tenticles to float around.
