Fathers Day Project and Gift!

So the best gifts are those that involve all the kidos, no matter their age.

This gift/project began as an art project that I thought would occupy some of our childrens time. Afterall, summer has arrived and they are out of school. I welcome all creative ideas to keep us busy and out of trouble.

We were in a local thrift store and I came across a really neat contemporary piece of art.

I wasn't really sure what I was looking at, however it resembled tin foil perhaps with leaf impressions and then painted and framed.

Cool right? So I thought we could try our own variation.

We used a piece of tinfoil, gave it some texture, painted it and used an extra large sheet of construction paper to make a boarder.

This made for a quick and easy project!

But a friend dropped in and then we started a dialogue of other this we could do with our foil. And it occured to me that we could perhaps mold it to make sculptures.

KIDS!!! COME ON DOWN!

Using a sheet of tinfoil, I carefully molded it onto my sons face, starting from the center (inbetween eyes) and working down and out.

Pretty cool Mom!

  

Then I trimmed the edges and kept a little for an artsy effect, and placed in a picture box.

All three children framed and ready to share with Dad tomorrow!
