Kids Artist Trading Cards Swap–fini!

Posted on February 25, 2009 by Dawn

We’ll be sending the ATC cards out tomorrow!  This has been so fun!  I make sure I post a picture once they have all arrived from the swap-pals. This was a great experience… both girls played around with some new materials/techniques and are so excited to see what comes back to them.

Here are Rosies

and Marigolds

family art days

Posted on February 19, 2009 by Dawn

A couple of them. The girls are working on their artist trading card swap cards.  I flung out my inspiration piece for Art from Writing… and now I have a wonderful Writing from Art component to do.  That will be this weekend’s work.  Here are a few pictures…. I don’t have time for many words tonight…. Just know that Esme is growing. Big.  She is still growing the quills.  And Marigold is growing the TEETH.  Had 3 just fall right out last week.  It seems so much weirder to witness as an adult than it did to go through it as a child.   I am woefully behind on LIFE.  Not sure how I am going to catch up yet– but I don’t think it’s going to happen this week!

Rosemary sure has a thing for the painted hand….

Here is the piece I did for the Art from Writing:Writing from Art Project. I am pretty excited about working on my response piece now.  I got a great partner and lovely writing to work with. :)

Next tangent– Penpals.  Who doesn’t love a penpal??

Ok, tying it all together now–

Wisecraft posted an invite to this lovely Artist Trading Card swap for little ones just yesterday.  Ages 4 and up.  Just in case you don’t frequent that blog I thought I’d pass it along.  As with the previous swap mentioned, the deadline is THIS Friday- 2/6.  So if you have any little people who would like to create and receive art-cards– head on over and sign up!!

Wow!   It’s been a whole year since I posted a younger harpy!  Today was the big day.  Here is one most excellent teacher, Michaela Trnkova, tuning a LOT of harps!
