Helen Craig and Angelina Ballerina
On Saturday 3 May, devotees of mousetastic
'Angelina Ballerina' were treated to a visit from Helen Craig,
Angelina's co-creator and illustrator. Helen comes from a
dynasty of theatrical talent – her great-grandmother was the
stage actress Ellen Terry and her grandfather was the theatrical
scenic designer Edward Gordon Craig. We were very lucky to
persuade Helen to come and see us in Angelina’s 25th year and
share some of her secrets about how she draws the very famous
mouse.
Mouselings dressed in beautiful ‘Angelina
at the Palace’ outfits came from far and wide to the Lantern
Community Hall in Harlescott, to take part in two sessions of
story-telling, craft, illustration and dancing. Every mini-mouse
was treated to some whiskers and a nose before learning how to
sketch Angelina in her famous pink dress. Next came story time,
with our own ‘Angelina Ballerina’ (Victoria) complete with
whiskers, nose, tail and ears. All the Mouselings joined in as
Angelina lead the dancing around the room. More storytelling
followed, with a lucky winner taking home Helen’s beautiful
drawing. Picture Gallery - Click on the picture for larger version
