In addition to painting our cow, we have been working on many features and additional textures that will help our cow tell a story and be eye-catching to those passing by. Catriona and Chelsea have taken responsibility for our peg people. These people will represent a healthy community living unaware of what farmers have had to do to provide them with the food on their table and many of their other day to day products. (More on this later.) We also have a little person representing a lone farmer. Catriona worked hard on painting his overalls and making sure he looked perfect. But... although we LOVED what Catriona was doing, we wanted to bring these characters to life even more. At Youth Off The Streets we have some amazing volunteers that give up there time to support us in many ways. We asked one of our volunteers, Kathy, to help us out. She went away with a brief and came back with the MOST AMAZING clothing for our healthy community. She even crocheted an akubra hat for our farmer! We loved trying on the different outfits and working out the best combinations. We cannot wait to add them to our final design. We have also begun to layer our cow with many other textures. Aaliyah and Kelly have been working on creating the Great Dividing Range. The Great Dividing Range is the mountain range parcelling the coast line of Eastern Australia. It is also a significant symbol for our cow. The Great Dividing Range signifies the divide between coastal and inland Australia and the divide between city and rural communities. It will separate the two ends of our cow. We are also working on many other small features for our cow which we will elaborate later on in the blog.
