Usually in August I get to work outside on art and biodiversity projects but Scotland won't stop RAINING!! My neighbour has promised to bring back the sun from Poland but until then I'm inside working on Scottish mammals and plans for this terms kids classes #artist #biodiversity

Going #oldschool on the wildcat to transfer to a big plywood board, old ways are sometimes the best plus the polecat has fur and if it would just stop raining I might get to varnish #scottishwildcat #biodiversity #polecat #muralartist #artist #lovemyjob

[Cat Mackay Community Arts @MackayArts]

Returning to finally finish the Polecat before the term gets busy with workshops, school projects and other animal painting. Plus Neko is feeling better and trying to escape the house while giving me death stares about his cone #artist #catbite

@perthacademy I think its brilliant that by the end of their second year pupils have an elementary food hygiene certificate and food/health certificate. Brilliant for future part time after school jobs #jobready

P6/7 @BurreltonPS have grown Sweet Peas and Nasturtiums from seed to share with their community Burrelton in Bloom group, and bagged up the remains of the chipped fallen school tree for community planters #biodiversity @Tesco #ecoschool

[Cat Mackay Community Arts @MackayArts]

P4/5 @BurreltonPS made some signs for the new wildflower areas, planters and vegetable patch reusing an unused caterpillar board plus they planted the remaining bedding plants, wildflowers and new sunflower zone #biodiversity #ecoschool

[Cat Mackay Community Arts @MackayArts]

As an #ecoschool we bagged up the tree chippings (from the old wind damaged tree) for use by Burrelton in Bloom, made plants labels from old bottles and planted lemon balm gifted by a local community member.

[Cat Mackay Community Arts @MackayArts]

P1/2/3 at @BurreltonPS had a lovely time with myself and Daniele from @PerthshireWild talking all things #biodiversity and planting Red Campion, Yarrow, Foxglove, Ragged Robin, Self Heal and Cuckoo plants. They enjoyed finding worms and digging @tesco

Shout out to all the litterpickers I saw on the Dundee Rd this morning, finally tackling the mess around camperdown, templeton woods turnoff and all the way to Piper Dam. Looked like all volunteers, hopefully supported by @dundeecitycouncil

[Cat Mackay Community Arts @MackayArts]

Brilliant afternoon with young artists in Kettins creating scottish nocturnal animals and planetary systems to follow on from their science morning #lovemyjob #creativearts #communityart

[Cat Mackay Community Arts @MackayArts]

@BurreltonPS Brilliant, let the litter picking commence!! Although your playground is very litter free, they will help for your annual litterpick around the village in May and community pick on 1st June #litterpicker
