Water Colour Flowers

Luke and I tried to do this craft project suggested by Arounna Khounnouraj over at Bloesem Kids. Arounna, a designer, comes up with the most incredibly beautiful and professional-looking crafts to do with children. You can see her little boy (or someone's little boy) helped her with that painting. Luke, who was initially interested in trying this one, changed his mind once we actually sat down with the paints. Mine resembles Arounna's the way Cheez Whiz resembles Brie de Meaux from Renard Gillard (apparently the World's Best Cheese.) You must go take a look at hers. Luke's isn't a kind of cheese at all. It's a kind of pickle and therefore not to be compared.  I am hungry.

I think the big difference is only that hers was wet-on-wet, to create that lovely soft spreading of colour. sweet!

Oh that's very nice. And that site looks great - I will have to show it to my crafty boy when he gets home.
I'm trying to write up something about Oliver Jeffers - I see he's teaching a workshop in Halifax too, are you planning to take that in?

Unfortunately we're not going to see Oliver Jeffers after all. It's Luke's birthday weekend and we can't manage to fit everything in. If we lived a little closer to the city I could slip away but we don't. Wah.
