Family Silhouettes

For Halloween we thought it would be fun to make silhouettes of all of
us. They turned out so cool that we are going to leave them up all
year!

fairy & princess overload!

My daughter can't seem to pick what she wants to be for Halloween. That's
okay because we have a few more weeks, but if I sew it she has to pick
soon! Here are her pics from a browse we took around the internet the
other day. What's your fave?

Mini acrylic portrait

This is badly lit and a little fuzzy but it will have to do. I just
love the way it looks framed!!!!! I think I have to do more little
portraits like this. the Frame shop has lots of miniature frames that
need to be filled with my art.

Chloe' Re'miat

While browsing the blog lists from some of my favorite bloggers, I
came across the art of Chloe' Re'miat. I love that these pieces are
made of papier mache'...she basically makes art from
nothing! The fact that they are so beautiful is just remarkable to me!

Little girls dresses

My daughter LOVES to wear dresses. For a year she and I have argued about what she should wear to the park and in the winter. I would buy her brand new outfits with pants and she would never wear them. My time and money were being wasted. Well I say if you cant beat em' join em'! I have recently decided to embrace her choice in clothing. I found these images for patterns in a Japanese pattern book for sale on Etsy by Chocolate Swirl. I love every single one. I love the warm tights and boots one girl wears for winter. I also love the natural choice of colors and simplicity of the dresses. these inspired me to let her wear dresses all the time. I'm really excited to make the dresses she has look more like these images.
