Midnight Owls on a Marbled Moon

Did anyone see the recent 'blood moon' lunar eclipse?

A blood moon can only occur when the sun, Earth
and moon are perfectly aligned, with the Earth in the middle.

There is something quite beautiful about the red moon, isn't there?

We've created our 'blood moons' from paper we first marbled with shaving cream and watercolour.

Some of the children chose red, yellow and orange, to recreate the blood moon colours, while others went with turquoise, blue and purple for an eerily different 'blue moon' effect.

We finished with black marker line drawings using fine and ultra-fine permanent markers. With lots of detail, pattern and variation in line, they provide a beautiful counter-balance to the softly swirling colours of our moons.
