Mini Kites

I have spent some time making mini Kites as demonstrations and trying to film the process. The first film below is 12 mins, I made a shorter one for Instagram. These are easy, can be made from a variety of materials and can be used running around the house, in the garden or at the park, where ever you are able to go. For windy days they are perfect.

These textile pictures created by Janet Bolton are beautiful, they are embellished with bits of drift wood and treasures of scraps of fabric ect. I have long admired her work, she often does workshops and you can find out more from her website here:
