Friday 30th april

Today was our last day as tomorrow is a bank holiday in Italy. We got in extra early as we had things to complete this morning. I started by taking all the pins out and doing some last minute bits to the petals. During this time Dora continued with the car.
By about 9 I was ready to put the giant flower back together again. This is where we hit a bit of a problem. Dora and I had marked out where the first petals went so we could put it back together. In the end it took me about an hour and a half as we got the holes all confused and it was far more difficult to put each petal into the base that we would have thought. By 11 the flower was finished and we put it on the top of the car. It looked really good and we were really pleased with it.
Now that the flower was finished we had to concentrate on the rest of the car. Although his didn't need much decoration because of the falling trims. We continued with this until the end of the day. All in all we managed to complete most of the car apart from the back window. We also got to make our own kind of trim to put on the car. We made these out of pieces of jersey, chain and other ribbons. I made plaits and Dora made twists. We got to put these on the car which was nice as it meant that an idea of ours was included within the car.
We finished a bit early today and went and said goodbye to the people we had been working with. We have worked really hard all week and i think we have achieved quite a lot. However it was a shame that we only got to do one week rather than two. The whole experience as a whole was interesting and it was defiantly a challenge to work where it was difficult to communicate and i had to rely on Dora all the time.
