Field of Poppies - Anzac 100 year anniversary

Well, we've had Anzac Day  and it appears that our Field of Poppies was a great hit with local people and the TV people, there were several interviews, photo shoots, a radio interview and it seemed lots of other publicity.  All of which was wonderful if not nerve wracking for those involved.  

I'll put a few photos up and attempt to get the video of one of the interviews to work..  at this point I've been unable to get it to work here. sorry.   I'll give it a go another day.

We left a path between the poppies for people to walk through, this path had sprigs of rosemary strewn along it so that when walked on the aroma was released.  The path appeared to be popular with small children and was still visible after we had removed the poppies and rosemary.  

Thanks to all members and their friends and relatives that helped out.

Poppies, poppies and even more poppies

In the middle of last year it was decided to create something to commemorate Rememberance day and also Anzac day using poppies created from fibres.
Dinie G., was the first one creating poppies, Annette took up the challenge and mustered help from all members of Fibres and also created the final installation.  This piece was part of the Umbrella Gallery members exhibition which was entitled 'Memory'.
Below are some photos of the final piece in situ at Umbrella Gallery and also now on the second floor of Federation Place, Townsville.
The piece is called 'we do remember them'.
There were 1450 poppies created all up, thanks to the members.

Re installed at Federation Place, second floor.
