puppet love

We're creating the best 

bunch of puppets EVER!  

We measured, cut, snipped and glued 

hair, hairdo's and faces today. 

 Oooooo, 

how I love puppets 

at the studio. 

It's like having a whole 

new batch of friends, 

paper mache style.

washi tape

PAINTED PAPER PENNANTS

WHAT?! do you do with a table cover that has been saturated with paints for weeks? 

MAKE a garland for the studio, of course.

                             WE set up the round table as a watercolor station last session.

 Classes, workshops and parties painted, detailed, 

and decorated art work, gifts, cards, tags, sculptures. 

I'm talking endless projects. 

I wanted to see what the result would be if we didn't change the paper.  

The richness grew as it was splattered, painted and a tad glittered. 

It had a worn texture to it.

 It was an old friend.

Get yourself some color here.

Nutscene Garden Twine

My mom gave
me this great garden twine.
She's  given me larger spools 
(in a handy can) which I've used in and around the garden throughout the season. There was something about this colorful row of tiddlers I could not share with my tomatoes.
Today, I made a great hand scrub and wrapped it up tight.
Love.

Us and Them

Take in each moment and 

 truly watch them, feel them, 

think like them, 

smell them,

laugh with them,

listen to them,

learn from them.

Enjoy every spec of them.

And when you think

you've had your fill,

do it again.

And again.

I wrote this post last January.

 Hearts are aching. 

Give your children 

YOURSELF today.

Fun festive 

gift wrapping ideas
