Ribbon Topiary

Marcella had fun creating this ribbon tree.  She cut 120 4" pieces of ribbon and pinned them to a 6" floral foam ball.

Putting air-dry clay in pot to secure the dowel.

A ribbon tree!

Mural

This was the girls' first attempt at a mural -- cheerful, bright, and beautiful. 

Melted Crayons

Cameron really got into melting crayons with the hair dryer!

She painted the background and an elephant silhouette.  Then, she glued down some crayon shavings.  The hairdryer on high heat, low fan was enough to melt the crayons and get the colors moving! 





      Awesome!

Pillows

 Sometimes kits are just the right thing.  Everything is ready for you to do a quick craft.  These owl pillows were part of an American Girl craft. 

Nicely done! 

Paint on Glass

 The girls and I saw a framed piece of glass with a silhouette at a craft store.  They decided to paint one of the frames from our "stained-glass" window on a frame, leaving a lot of unpainted space for the wall to show through. 

Marcellla's lily and butterfly

 These look even better in their rooms with the
paint of their walls showing.

Three Days of Art Mini-Camp

Marcella's got the right idea!

While Mommy has in-service, the girls had an art mini-camp at Grams'.  Three days of art with a bowling break with Grandpa.

Look for their booth at Augusta's Art in the Heart on 9/19.

Great Job, Sweet Girls! 

"C" is for Cameron

"C" this! 

Cameron wanted a giant "C" to put over her bed.  The orange matches her new bedspread.  She cleverly decorated this paper mache' "C" (from Michaels) with buttons.
