Collaborative Auction Art

Art Auction

I'm so excited for this one, I really like the way it came out.  My 5th graders each collaged a ray from magazine cut outs, and we mod podged it onto a collaged back ground .  Maybe will add different text.

Petals and Pop Shop

Spent the afternoon in Seal Beach, found a cute little florist on Main Street.  I loved the fresh cuttings smell of the shop and the rusticness of it.  I always wanted to be a florist.  I could live there, Petals and Pop Shop.

Oh Deer

Up in idylwild Ca, there were some painted deer sculptures.  I really love deer, and especially antlers.

Dali

Second graders studied surrealism and Salvador Dali, we cut out mustaches and talked about symmetry, we taped them on their upper lip as we drew Salvador and then have him his mustache.

Doily Swag

Saw something similar at a craft fair, and almost bought one, but knew I had doilies at home in the old trunk.  Bought bias tape and cut the doilies with a straight edge and tucked them into the bias tape and sewed.  Love the wintery, and summery feel.  Perfect for the front window.

Creatively Sidetracked

Feeling creatively side tracked isn't such a bad thing, except when you only have a few short days left of vacation an a million things left to do.
