Wednesday Art Group... making headgear!

Now, this is MY kind of art day!! I just get out all the fabric, toulle, netting, buttons..... And then, we let the creating begin!!

This activity was actually about two weeks ago. We have made a necklace and a full Halloween scrapbook since then, but anyway...

My Wednesday class is my older of the two classes. They work a wee bit more independently. With that independence comes a little more SASS too!

Emma Lou was eyeing that tiger material to do an LSU head piece.

We covered buttons, made headbands, made barettes, made fabric rosettes... and more.

I'm having a blast teaching all these younguns the things I know about art.

I think it would have been awesome to have known these techniques at a young age.

I took art, but we basically only painted. Not that I don't love painting... but I really prefer all kinds of arts and crafts, and like to have a completed project weekly!

Wait til I show some of the scrapbooks we made this week. It was one of the funnest weeks we've had so far!

Only about three weeks left. Oh boy. I better be planning for the new year. I have a lot of little girls who are chomping at the bit to do it again!! And hey, boys... I am planning one for you too!
