And before we get going with the projects here are some fun links:

Here are our projects:

  1. Dripping Utensils
  2. Long-Legged Beasties
  3. Colorful Collage Clocks
  1. Dripping Utensils:

    This is the picture, “Undersea Pizza Slicers…” that got us celebrating:

    A lot of drawing has been going on around our house just lately and we took a turn with the kitchen utensils:

    Once we had our drawings done we used watercolor crayons and then painted some bright fun utensils…

    And then we made literally hundreds of tiny legless beasts:

  4. Colorful Collage Clocks:
  5. We were gifted with blow markers – ages ago and a very rainy week seemed like the right time to try them… paper-plates were colored:

    Then with a whole heap of little magazine pictures we collaged away:

And a day of Dali wouldn’t be right without a couple of books to drool over:
