Art works inspired by Hannah's life

TWO works of art – inspired by Hannah Scales who died after suffering from Kabuki syndrome – have been created by adults and children in Lymm.
Pupils and staff at the school Hannah attended, Little Bollington CE Primary, have created a Kabuki Garden in her memory.
The garden, themed Take a Closer Look, is on display at the RHS Flower Show at Tatton Park, Knutsford.
Children have grown some of the featured plants and helped design the garden under the guidance of head teacher Caroline Johnstone.
The sensory garden is to raise awareness of Kabuki genetic research and donations will be collected to support the research programme at St Mary’s Hospital Manchester led by Professor Dian Donnai.
Hannah’s mum, Anne Scales, said the garden features all the senses – sight, sound, smell, touch and taste. It includes edible plants and fragrant plants such as lavender and chocolate ruffles.
The design also features an eye, created out of plants with chocolate plants for eyelashes, and a rainbow.
Another work of art, which was inspired by Hannah’s favourite hymn, Lord of the Dance, has also been created.
Lymm Churches Together Sewing Group, led by Marie Clowes, has spent three years creating a tapestry on the theme of the hymn.
The tapestry is hung in the children’s corner at St Mary’s Church, Lymm, and was recently dedicated at the Sunday School prize giving service.
Pictured with the tapestry are, from the left, Ann Scales, Peter Clark church warden, Marie Clowes designer, Jean Hynd, Maralyn Barlow, Sheila Vincent, Joyce Gill, Isabel Roberts, Dorothy White, Anne Young, Annette Wright, Audrey Brierley, Georgina Turner, Sylvia Rowles and Joan Statham.
