The film footage on the blog was filmed by Les on his new digital film camera, it coincided with Jenny's birthday. In all our classes cards and cake are very much the order of the day. Cara had popped down to Barleylands during the previous week and had suggested I make Jenny a card with me as Elvis on the front cover, straight away I thought that Cara would make a better Elvis. Whilst Les was hoping to film some footage of the artwork and art class, he also filmed the moment that Jenny was given her card signed by the whole class (including an unaware Cara) and the moment that Cara found out that she was the Elvis on the front of the card. I must admit I did think she was going to hit me! start with the video at the bottom and work your way up.
