Art Camp 2, SO FUN!

Such a great week in Art Camp 2! I had even more kids this time, but it went smoother than the first week. This week had the theme "faces". We made some amazing masks, self portraits, portraits of friends, and even threw in tie dye just for fun! We also had a nature art day, where we made hedgehogs with pine cones and clay and owl masks with nut … [Read more...]

Especially when they came up with their own ideas and altered the … [Read more...]



Art Camp was a blast!

Art camp was craziness! It was great fun and a wonderful learning experience for me. I have taught small classes before, but never had this many students. I think I did pretty well! I survived the week and my students seemed to have a good time. I chose messy projects that their parents would most likely not want to do at home, like splatter paint … [Read more...]

Beautiful Blue!

Finished a scarf I've been working on! Woohoo, happy dance! It's for a client and I love it so much I wish I could keep it! It's so soft and I just love the color. But, I started another one! I'm using a different pattern, but will definitely have the fun tassels again. I just love this yarn. … [Read more...]



Inspired by local artists

If your hands look like this, it's been a good day. I had such a wonderful Mother's Day! The kids had their easel set up next to mine in the backyard and we painted the afternoon away! We were all inspired the previous weekend having gone to open studios at 17th Avenue, 17thavenuestudios.org. If you ever have the chance, I highly recommend it! … [Read more...]



Inspiration

Not only did the kids learn a lot and have a great time exploring some wonderful local places this week, I was very inspired by the beauty around me.   … [Read more...]



Fun learning outdoors this week!

We've had such a fun "school" week outdoors! We went to Harvey West Park, I don't get over there very often and forget how beautiful it is! I should know, it's where I got married after all! We went to play with friends at the playground, but as the nature lovers we are, were drawn into the forest. We walked along a path and found a little stream, … [Read more...]

I miss the days when the kids would freely play ou I miss the days when the kids would freely play outdoors. Rocks & streams, sticks & flowers, their toys of choice. They're older now and drawn and to technology. They still have a love of nature, but it takes a push to get them to go outside and their play is different now. How do you get your big kids or #teens outdoors? ⁠
