I'm trying to get those creative juices flowing early - not sure if I'm helping or deterring, but I certainly have fun! As I discovered in our art session this evening, she is not yet as enthusiastic about painting as her mommy, but we made it work. Most is hers, but I did my part to make sure the tape effect turned out as I had imagined. This project required: a 2-pack of 11x14 canvas tape (Andy used to do auto pinstriping so I chose a thickness from his stash) gesso crayola paints sponge brushes Note, my inspiration. First, I laid out the tape between the two canvases and applied gesso along the tape lines. This prevents color from going under the tape. Next, I cut the tape connecting the two canvases, then applied blue painters tape around the outside, both to provide a border for the paint and to hold the tape in place. Then, I let her loose with sponge and regular brushes... The final product looks a bit chaotic (as mentioned before, I did fill in the blank spots - I'd ask her what color should go where once she had lost interest in doing it herself) Once the tape is removed, the final masterpiece is revealed! I true work of art for the boring playroom walls! Another recent project - painting snowflake ornaments for the Grandmas... And an ornament for our tree as well!

Une touche de déco aujourd'hui à l'atelier, grâce au nuancier que le peintre qui a réalisé les travaux chez nous m'a gracieusement laissé (avec un petit air à peine masqué entre curiosité et incompréhension "elle est dingue celle-là qu'est-ce qu'elle peut bien vouloir faire avec mon vieux nuancier ?!"). Bref j'avais déjà ma petite idée en tête, que j'ai réalisée pour notre livre, et je viens de récidiver avec un tryptique fruité, toujours à base de triangles dégradés. Vous pouvez bien entendu retrouver la méthode dans le livre et varier les plaisirs avec d'autres dessins (animaux, origamis, diamants, etc). Montrez-nous vos réalisations ! Pour ceux qui n'auraient pas encore feuilleté "Inspirations géométriques", voici un aperçu de ce que peut donner ce type de collages en plus grand format. (photo D. Bizet, Stylisme C.
