beehive portraits

we're bananas over beehive portraits. 

black + white photographs 

with colored pencils and teeny shells are just right.

SPIN art is always a HUGE hit at beehive and 
spinning these shells was especially fun! 

I glued the shells onto a matt board base prior to spinning.  

After the spin paint has dried you can color and paint the base. 

yay!

A colorful stack of secret shell messages from summer ART15

 Simply sweet and sincere,

just like the children who created them.

CAST OF CHARACTERS

summer ART wouldn't be complete with out puppets!  

We start off with paper mache, wait a day and then we paint.  

Topped  off with beads, yarn, baubles and tissue. 

The selection of materials is always different depending

 on our mood and what tempts us.

 I love how they progress into characters filled with personality and vivre! 

There's something about this line up that cracked us all up.

AND we all need a little more of THAT! 

these kids..

These kids cranked out some serious art work last week.

We couldn't have made our way without 
this front and center rockstar, Caroline.

 thank you thank you! 

 we're missing you already,  

please come back soon xx

last call

saving the best for last..
