A sample of our NEWLY designed harp board:


treble ------------------------------------------ <---strings tied across the board.
clef ------------------------------------------ hang notices
here ------------------------------------------
---------------------------------/--------- <---looks like a musical staff
--------------------------------/----------
/
/ <---banner which says 'cherubs' spray painted silver

background: black with golden brush strokes =D

That wasn't so bad was it?

Don't know how we thought of it. First em said wanted use a broom to have the brush stroke effect. then fio was drawing don't know what nonsence. So I suggested hanging up strings to hang notes with pegs or whatever. Then we were thinking of a layout and suddenly fio drew the musical stave and it looked quite right to put the strings as the lines.

Then opened Sel's present and it was a mini pass the parcel but now 'pass-to-joyce-only' parcel. And cause the cover was wrapped in pretty christmas wrapper I thought it was a rather big nice present. (roughly a4size). But obviously the whole bulk was made up of newspaper which I kept tearing layer by layer until I came to the grand finale... a popular bag! wow.

But it was nice inside (=
I liked the turtle and the card and the doggy woggy.

We had stiff competition from guzheng.
Hmm. I think the harp board still rules.
