As you may recall, I said that painting was on my list of things to do over Spring Break. However, painting my living room walls means that I have to move furniture, tape off the trim and lay out the big plastic sheet to catch all the paint I spill. That just didn't sound like any fun, so I scratched that idea and tried painting of a different kind. I was inspired to try my hand at working with mixed media. I won't tell you the artist off of Etsy who inspired me because you'll go there and realize how wonderful hers looks. She uses a lot of bird heads on her people, while I wanted to use my kids' actual faces. It didn't turn out too bad. Tyler's is a little too wrinkly, but I did use a large amount of tissue paper on his. I did learn a few things what to use and what not to use. I think Madison's is my favorite because I gave her a crown and wings. I'll post both Madison's and Grant's later. I still have a few finishing up touches to do on them.
Andy's comment...."They are kind of cool, but you sure know how to waste a lot of time." I kind of feel the same about him and television.
