Glass Stones on Wood

I'm not the only one who loves
 the look and feel of these
 small glass stones on

pastel / painted wood pieces.

We also used crayon shavings 

for additional  texture and color.

Nicey.

Today we hosted a tremendous pirate birthday party for our friend Dylan.

These skull & cross bones were one of many fabulous projects
and  I think one of my all time favorites. 

I'd like a wall full of them please.   

AARGhhh!!

Paper Houses

We designed these paper house (lanterns) for an event in Boston last spring. 

I have been wanting to make them with the children at Beehive since. 

It's a tricky project with precise cutting of dowels and paper, 

the Advanced Art Exploration Class ( 9-14 yrs) was a perfect fit.

A sneak peak today of the materials, pattern, and assemblage.
