AWESOME.
ReplyDeleteWhat a clever post!
Now, the true test will come when you post the art she creates after devouring the collective admission fees.
How sweet. Thanks for sharing. It's amazing their imaginations and what they see in their creations. I save a few of their "best" or should we say most "creative" in a bin to keep for always. :)
ReplyDeleteI LOVE this! So cute and an awesome idea! See, I could have taken pics of all that artwork I threw out (ahem, ck!) and then I would never feel guilty, Grandma would be happy, all would be well.
ReplyDeleteGreat post for your budding Picasso!
Are these available as reprints? Love the 'Bird in suit', myself.
ReplyDeletePersonally, I'm a huge fan of Bird Suit. Seriously, that is some artistic title work. What a great post! It totally took me back to this thing I read online, years and years ago, from this guy who was selling his house, and instead of cleaning up or painting over the many "artworks" his kids had done on the walls, he and his wife decided to mount gallery-quality titles next to each production. It was the cutest, funniest thing. I'll have to find it for you and send it, if I can.
ReplyDeleteP.S. I just remembered where I saw that thing I read. It was in Brain, Child magazine. Ever seen it?
ReplyDeleteAll joking aside, I love kids' artwork. I know diddly-jack-squat (that's a technical term, thank you) about art, but I love how kids don;t feel obliged to frame things according to adult conventions. And even when they try to they can't. It's beautiful.
ReplyDeleteJenny Penny- Plz send me the link if you can, that sounds like a great idea. I could use that for the 'artwork' on my walls when I sell my place.
ReplyDeleteSahm-I-am: First of all, nice name!:) and yeah reprints are available for candy as well.
Kathy B, Gibby, Zeemaid and ck- Thanks :)
Awesome! I think you have an artistic genius on your hands!
ReplyDeleteThose are beautiful!!
ReplyDeleteAww, I love this. My favs are Pretty Dinosaur and Angry Dinosaur.
ReplyDeleteToo cute! I just found your site from Ink's and it is so pretty!
ReplyDeleteI just came back and looked at the pics again. It really feels like an exhibit, with your placard language. Seriously, you should hold an opening and charge exorbitant prices per item! They're wonderful. I want to buy Bird in Suit.
ReplyDeleteI mean, A Bird Suit. Of course.
ReplyDeleteThis is too cute. I just love kids art. It is so neat! Our school takes it and makes it into magnets and all kinds of things. I just love it.
