Fairies!

Fairies are showing up all over my house! Give the girls some pipe-cleaners, yarn, wooden beads, and ribbon, and look what happens! 

Watercolor

The girls received new watercolor paper and had to try it out. 

Cameron concentrates!

Beautiful!

Finished!

Cameron had one more piece to finish!
Can you tell what this is??  

Lazy day tracings

Today the girls decided they wanted to relax and have fun with some drawing books.  They traced lots of cute images and colored them.

Marcella cut out her baby animal tracings and glued them to a piece of construction paper.  She gave her critters some cute names, too.

Roberto Britto

Here are the girls posing with a Britto sculpture onboard the Freedom of the Seas.

When we took the girls on a Royal Caribbean cruise last April, there was a Britto shop on-board.  The girls were instantly drawn to the pop artist from Brazil. 

 We bought a coloring book, but recently the girls decided to create their own homage to Britto with canvas board and acrylics.

Original Books

Back in October, the girls wrote their own books about the artwork that they have done this year. 

Crazy Cats

The girls were inspired by an artist at Arts in the Heart of Augusta last September. They painted with acrylics on a stretched canvas.  Great backgrounds, too!  

 

   Aren't these crazy cats cute??

Collage...Decoupage...

With an American Girl theme, Cameron made this collage:

 Marcella decided to decoupage a box for her treasures. 

Then, both girls decided that these would make great wall art for their American Girls' bedrooms.
