Wonky 9 patch in progress

My husband and I started this wonky nine patch a while ago and haven't worked on it lately. I wanted to post this so we don't forget about it entirely.

Butterfly wings

I made these wings for my daughter after making a bunch of concentric circles and scanning and printing them.

tan grams with paste paper

I made a lot of paste paper on a recent trip to my folks house and decided to make something for the kids. I glued the paste paper to cereal box and cut out the shapes from a template. Then I covered each piece with packing tape and attached a magnet to the back

kitchen utensils for stenciling and printing.

You will need some kind of spray ink. I used food color in a spray bottle. Absorbent paper works best.

textures

I had fun taking some texture photos at the zoo the other day. I took some of the animals and my kids too.

Working together

Oil pastels, colored pencils, and markers were used by three artists to create this piece. Claire was very interested in the purple colored pencil in the background.
Emily mostly used black which is one of her favorite colors to use when painting also.

A card I made for a friend. Mostly stitched.
