Commonwealth Colours

I had the great pleasure of being involved in an amazing event last Friday!
The Glasgow Creative Arts Network came together over the weekend with a programme of family events in Woodlands, Maryhill and Possilpark and I joined Maryhill Integration Network for their "Commonwealth Colours" event..

Me!  Recycling milk cartons and making elephants with some great kids.
 There was singing, dancing, drumming, fashion *takes a breath* face-painting, flag-making, seed-planting, mhendi, rangoli...  and SO MUCH MORE!



Maryhill Integration Network is one of the best organisations I've ever worked with  Everyone's been super nice since the first time I contacted them last year to help with fundraising for my trip to India and they're such a fun bunch!  We've done a few jewellery making workshops and now that I do little bits of volunteering too, it's weird to think that I spent so many years oblivious to groups like this and all the fantastic wee community events that happen all over the city!

You can see loads more excellent photos from the Commonwealth Colours event on the Integration Network's facebook page.
