Trail through the forest wilderness, breathe in fresh pine-scented air, and discover curious creatures along the way in Little Forester Fusion! Filled with soft teals, deep amber and blues that will unleash your little one's adventurous heart. This listing is for a quilt kit to make the 60" x 64" quilt in picture #1. The Kit includes 15 different patterned and solid fabrics, shown in pics 2&3. (Please note: One of the solid fabrics called out in the pattern, Adobe Clay, was discontinued and has been substituted with Gingerbread). Occasionally if the other solids are out of stock I may substitute the closest Art Gallery or Kona color. This kit includes all the fabric required for the quilt front and binding. Fabric (4 yards) for the quilt backing is optional, shown in Picture 4. The backing fabric may be cut into two pieces rather than continuous piece just due to the odd number of yards on a fabric bolt. If a backing is not listed in the drop down menus that means it is currently out of stock. Finished size: 60" x 64" The pattern is a free download here (cut and paste this link into your browser to download): https://www.artgalleryfabrics.com/cgi-bin/fabricshop/projects.cgi?patternID=135 Please note: There is no printed copy included- the pattern is a digital download at the link shown above.

Photo Source: smART Class If you're looking for an art project idea to go over blending and the color wheel with your kiddos, check out Natalie's Drippy Monsters! Featured on her blog smART Class, the drip monsters provided a perfect opportunity for color blending by having students use straws to blow 3 different paint colors together to create the monster's arms and legs. They turned out fantastic!! Drippy Monsters Provide each student with a piece of white art paper and a straw. Pour a small amount of several colors of paint onto their paper and have them blow the paint with their straws to create a monster! Natalie's class used orange, yellow, blue and green paint (be sure to mix the tempera paint with a bit of water until it's easy to spread with the straws). Photo Source: smART Class After the paint has had a chance to dry, have your students create faces with construction paper. Natalie required her students to create the eyes with an iris, pupil and light reflection. The result was super cute and gave the monsters an added touch of personality! Photo Source: smART Class Photo Source: smART Class If time allows, students could also use construction paper to create a scene! Check out a few of the finished projects from Natalie's class: Photo Source: smART Class Photo Source: smART Class Photo Source: smART Class Your kiddos are sure to love creating drippy monsters!

I love this, as the archival inks enhance the colours, on light texture. ------------- An illustrated artwork of chaotic creatures, shops and cacophony of the famous Camden Market London. It begins with the Mad Hatters tea party, abruptly gate crashed by the Hare Krishna band wagon and flying horses and dancing dragons creeping through the alleyways. Strange elephant faced gods on victorian brick walls between giant sneakers and gothic creatures. Steam punk robots march along in the company of Camden's sweetheart, Amy.... all singing the song, this crazy cacophony of Camden Town. This is unlike other streets of London, and a sight that can never be forgotten. This illustration celebrates the spirit of Camden, and of London. Where strangers from all over the world come together. ----------- FRAMING AVAILABLE FOR UK MAINLAND ORDERS ONLY (highlands and islands not included) I also offer Framed prints for A4 and A3 sizes only for local UK orders.

2020 Topic 9: Collage It Hi everyone, Keren here to kick off our latest topic which is all about collage. From our earliest memories of making things, we probably did some elements of collage but hopefully we've all developed a more sophisticated style by now! In its basic form, (strictly speaking) collage is a picture created by sticking other pictures or paper (or thinner substances) together to create a new image. Its 'next of kin' is probably assemblage and it would be easy to blur the two, but there are subtle differences where assemblage tends to be more sculptural and involve more than just glue to combine the elements together. Glue is a heavy feature of collage. I've not been super strict about sticking to the collage definition, but mostly looked for a collaged vibe. The PaperArtsy blog has plenty of inspiration and our first example is by Pam Thorburn who has collaged hair and face so beautifully. Using the same colours makes for a harmonious piece but with some wonderful texture and check out the post for a real masterclass to this technique. PaperArtsy Blog Gwen has a style that lends itself beautifully to collage. This example with some of her stamps shows the rainbow of collaged papers. PaperArtsy Blog Controversially I'm beginning with a piece of digital collage. Can it be classed as collage? I'd love to know what you think! This striking piece gives a really strong collaged look. It's a piece entitled Self Identity and would be a really useful technique for a self portrait. Sephora Venites Collage can be a wonderful combination of images and colour, and these bright, modern versions have some wonderful details. Triple The Scraps Collage doesn't have to be a blended affair. This piece of contrasting patterns and textures has a patch-worked feel to it. Cathy Nicols This monochrome beauty is a stacked delight. Gluing layer upon layer of lace and fabric results in a strong dimensional piece. Pion Design Whilst researching for this topic, there was a consistent thread of humour and quirkiness. This piece appealed to me for the quirky design plus I rather love vintage Singer Sewing machines! Mohanad Shuraideh Collaged pieces don't need to have the whole space collaged; there's some in the background, but the main focal flowers are really delicately collaged. Susanne Rose Moving back towards the surreal, this is a good example of how you can use bold but simple images to provide impact. Don't be afraid of using seemingly disconnected images to tell a story. Jordan Westre One of the best things about collage is using the textures to add to your art. Torn edges of newspaper add texture and also highlight the layers. The added colour in this example is exquisite. Rachelle Panagarry Creating landscapes using torn papers adds shadow and interest without complicated colouring. Choosing papers with different shades is the key to creating shade and highlights. Notice how the layers look so much like ripples in the water. Shelli Walters Studio I don't know what glue this artist used, but many enjoy a decoupage glue or an artists acrylic medium. Some thinner papers that become translucent when medium is added create another dimension to your collages. Tissue paper is a fab option for this look. Bored Art Combining fibres and paper makes for a fascinating piece. The fibres look like they've had colour added to them. Such a beautiful landscape. Little Field Studios Collage can provide bolder dimension and I thought the way that the torn edges created an aperture was really pleasing. Not adding adhesive all the way to the edges is a unique effect too. Caterina Giglio You could argue that this next example is isn't really collage but I thought that the design element was strong and was a good example of a superimposed image onto another that takes the design through each element. Merve Ozaslan I'm pushing the envelope (a collaged one of course!!) here. It's sneaking into the assemblage category really, but there are collaged elements here and I thought it was a inspirational piece to show layering. Gregory Euclide This next piece is nudging itself into 'favourite' position. Using type and collaging text to create a piece that really looks like a nest and I adore the thickly painted eggs. Christine Mac Shane Art This more carefully placed collage is striking with the black bordered butterfly. Looking carefully at the piece shows so many different papers. Lindsey Kay Co These are wonderfully collaged and have so many elements that your eye is drawn around each piece in a myriad of directions. Maka Art I hope you've loved this initial delve into collage. The great thing about this technique is that you can make pieces using whatever you've got already- even newspaper or junk mail.

Well of course I couldn't stop with all the monster-y goodness! We ended up matching up more monsters after we have practiced and worked more on our descriptive writing unit! I wanted a fun activity and something to give the students an opportunity to write a short description and not an essay since this will be part of their upcoming standardized test. So of course, we made more monsters! Here is the previous post of how we started out our unit. This writing was such a hit! We used the Create a Monster website to create monsters then used our descriptive writing skills to have students guess whose monsters was whose. Click on any of the pics to get this for your classroom! The monster pages and writing templates are all included along with a rubric, directions, and monster templates if you don't want to use the website. Also some writing organizers to help before you start writing! So much can be packed in for this one little activity. When we presented to the class we thoroughly discussed how details added to our writing and what some good examples are that are classmates had. We talked about how sensory details can be written and included. Descriptive writing essays is our "big" project this unit but this paragraph was a fun way to reinforce and practice - connecting it to previous lessons! Here are some samples from our class: I love how they turned out! So creative and the writing shows how much we have grown in the past few weeks learning how details can add SO MUCH to our writing. With such an easy process of making a monster and writing - it is sure to be a hit in any classroom! You can also use this FREEbie I created awhile back to work on descriptive writing - what better than to use poprocks?! Click the pic to go to the download.
