Our Violet is becoming a crafty queen (princess?). After researching Valentine's ideas, we hit upon cupcake-liner-flowers, and got the supplies at Michaels.
Clifford, the classroom pet, came home with us and was able to help out, or at least provide moral support.
Violet's been combining her love of Peanuts with a love of drawing. She's been looking up "how to" videos for drawing the characters.
We love her picture of Fifi and Snoopy! (And the Red Baron, too.)
When my friend Liz heard about Violet's craftiness, she offered to help her with a project. Violet had discovered melted crayon art online, and Liz, a Super Crafter, had already made such a project.
Liz set us up with crayons, a canvas, vinyl hearts and a heat gun; that night, Stace and I saw a movie and my dad had the girls.
Stace and I returned home to find Grandpa in full Grandpa mode, helping Violet out by peeling crayons.
We returned to Liz's house Friday after school, and she graciously helped Violet with her project.
Violet melted the crayons so much, most of them slid off the canvas. That's not what the pictures online showed, but hey, art is what you make it.
The colored wax was so thick on the vinyl hearts, Stace used an X-Acto knife to cut them off.
Proud girl! And rightfully so.
Many thanks to Liz for everything!
