The other day, V wanted to paint. As I was gathering the paint, brushes, etc., I saw our pack of pipecleaners and decided to fashion some brushes/stamps from them. Big hit!!
Blurry pictures - I was in a hurry.
This one is a bird foot. Ha.
She used a regular brush and the pipecleaners.
I also look forward to when she's a bit older and can make her own brushes. Fun!
Later on today's agenda - we got some plants and pots to plant them in (even though we haven't moved yet - it may be a few months). It will be small, but let the fairy garden begin!
Hi, I found your blog through The Crafty Crow and so glad I did! Your photography is beautiful. The chenille stem painting is so whimsical, I love it :)

The bird's foot is really sweet! I want to try that. Congratulations on winning the book, Artist to Artist.
