Scratch painting

We tried scratch painting this week. Master D happily filled the paper with lots of dark paint. And I added some more to make sure the scratching would work well…

He used a chopstick to scratch into the paint while it was still wet (our poor kitchen gadgets and cutlery get put to many a crafty use!).

We had a surprise visit on one of his paintings… can you see a stegasaurus with big plates 🙂

Happy painting, Kelly

Whimsical doors

I think of all the crafting I do these days, making little magical whimsical doors has to be my favourite 🙂 I just love the possibilities they suggest and invite.

I heard that a little boy asked how the fairies go in their door, to which his grandma replied…

you see that tiny little hole in the wood there?‘ 
mmm, yes‘ he said 
well, that’s where they go in…’
I was thrilled when I heard this story about a door I had created! Just magic – I hope it set the little boy’s imagination soaring!

These are my latest creations 🙂

Happily creating, Kelly
