We Invited the Fairies into the yard!

The kids and I decided that our theme yesterday would be "shelters" and "homes", first we did a little reading and then we headed into nature. We'd been to the beach to collect driftwood to make our homes for fairies and little creatures the day before. It was a great day to build, with lots of imagination going on, there are staircases, ladders, clotheslines, tables, little vehicles, a town hall and little signs to welcome the fairies. Really we just used wood from the beach, some shells, a little twine, a few bones the kids collected, a little moss, a few items we had around the house and a glue gun and nails. The kids were so happy with the little village they created and will be checking for signs that the fairies have been here.

New Year - New beginings

I love Gabriola Island, because you are immersed in art on a daily basis. I thought this year I would try to catalogue my observations of the art that surrounds me, whether it's the work of a child, that of a friend, an art opening, or my own struggles and breakthroughs as an artist (when time allows).
Here's to a year of exploring the Arts !

On today's to do list:
1. Get my Etsy sight up and going.
