I drew this a while back to help a group start thinking about some of the harder parts of Good Friday. You are welcome to use it but please let me know how and where.
(I was e-mailed recently asking why I use charcoal and not much colour and it is simply I am badly colourblind but also love the tacktile way you use charcoal).
This crown of thorns was made by one of my young people (Macca) during a reflective weekend as part of The stations of the Cross instalation. It was made from clay, plastic and card. I photographed it and turned to a negative.
It is a powerful image you are free to use but please tell me where and how. You can get larger versions via flickr.

You will need: a large glass bowl, two pints of water, iodine, spray starch, Ilford rapid fixer, a white cloth heart or person (about A4 size) and a overhead projector. Iodine is available from most chemists, the rapid fixer from a good photography shop and the spray starch from the supermarket. <P>

Buy or borrow a standard household S-bend for a bathroom sink, I used to live in a run-down student house with a non-functioning outdoor sink - which saved me all of 80 pence, but otherwise remember not run the sink without the plumbing. <P>
Tell everyone that you have had problems with your toilet and you wonder if anyone can tell if it is blocked. <P>
