Budding Artists Does Christmas Cards

There's 21 days til Christmas

and what's left to do?

How about everything and nothing,

and me come down with the flu.

Christmas baking is yet to begin

and presents still wait at the store,

but Budding Artists can help you

at least with one thing more.

Have you started your Christmas letter?

Are holiday cards in the mail?

Fear not my friends and neighbours,

as a scheme for you, we will regale

Pick out your favourite artwork

that your child has created and slaved over,

then get the design to Maria

by Friday, and see the changeover!

She'll set the picture for you,

two sets of 6 cards apiece,

the grandparents will be a'wonder

and don't forget to include one for your great niece!

So get your children drawing

and cross one item off the list

Budding Artists saves the day

with a Christmastime assist!

Eye Can Art: A Project with the Layered Wax Drawing Kit

On a lazy, damp Sunday with nothing to do,
a Budding Artists art kit is pulled out with a big Yahoo!
Not any old art on this soggy day
but an EYE CAN ART kit to chase the blues away.

So we opened the can and looked inside
to see what goodies our creativity could guide
Joy, oh bliss, in a small wood frame
"and a set of pastels to decorate it!", we exclaimed.




The girls set out with a vision in mind
their colours were brilliant, all combined
A landscape emerged, a tree I see
with flowers in a row, how pretty!




The last touches added,
and it was ready to go!
One last glimpse
before into the oven, it was stowed.

Just add beeswax

overtop

 

Watch the bubbles

til they stop!

Out it came
all hot, hot hot!


Till it cooled
and the wax did clot

One last task

Before we were through

To decorate on top

and add more colours anew!

My vampire girl

was ever so pleased

with her Eye Can Kit

and the artwork she conceived

~

Big thanks to Maria & Budding Artists

for the fun Layered Wax Drawing Kit 

that filled our Sunday afternoon

with some creative fun!

It was as easy as...

draw, melt, cool, colour a little more

and hang on the wall to enjoy!
