Last Days 34/35/36 Monkey Puzzle Day Nurseries







Here it is! The 10th and final wall completed... A birthday chart with a seasonal theme. Again, the photographs of the children can be stuck in the area that corresponds with their birthday.

This job has been a big one, and quite an achievment. An absolute pleasure to work on. I really have enjoyed my time spent at Monkey Puzzle and am very happy with the final result. As are all the staff. A big thankyou to Maria, Kat, Tracy, Zoe and Helen for 'putting up' with me and keeping me supplied with Coffee and biscuits. The nursery is a fantastic place for kids. a lovely old modernised 1840's building. Set in a quiet corner of Chingford, just on the outskirts of Epping Forest. The biggest thrill for me is that the work I have been able to produce will be 'used' in several ways with the many children that I am sure will pass through Monkey Puzzle Day Nurseries doors. I'll be a little sad to leave, but look forward to my next challenge! Many thanks once again and good luck. Paul.

The Kings Head - Kilburn





A quiet 2 days spent in the new Kings Head on Kilburn High Road. I was asked if I could copy the logo onto a wall space at the entrance to the bar. 'No problem' I said. The manager was amazed at how accuratley I had managed to do it... I wasn't sure how I'd managed to do it myself! It did turn out alright though.

Day 33 - Monkey Puzzle Day Nurseries






Compared to some of the work I have done at the nursery, this alphabet was slightly easier to do. However I needed to be quite precise with the lettering as it will be used frequently as a learning tool for the pre-school children in this room.

Day 31/32 - Monkey Puzzle Day Nurseries






Making the numbers from 1-5 a little more interesting. Being a relatively small wall, accomplished this fun little rocket in only 2 days. That's the toddler room complete! Now, on to my last two walls in the pre-school room...

Day 29 - Monkey Puzzle Day Nurseries




Reflections on the balloons, outlining underway. I'm liking how this is coming together. As this is Zoe's 'toddler' room, she asked that I didn't make the clown too 'scary' looking. This ones worked out fine! Zoe's happy...

Day 28 - Monkey Puzzle Day Nurseries




Made a start on the clown birthday chart today. No white underpainting required, which sped up the process a little! Should get this one completed quite quickly.
