Kaia has been in art camp all week, from 9-5. When I pick her up, she spends at least 30 minutes telling me about what they did all day and showing me her art before I’m allowed to pull out of our parking spot. She is in her element.
Last night, she just couldn’t get enough art and decided to break out the Suminagashi kit that I got her for her birthday (thank you Frugal Family Fun for the recommendation!)
It took just a little bit to get the hang of it, but once she did, Kaia covered our kitchen table and floor with her art.
We didn’t realize that this one had a heart in it until we pulled the paper off.
She would use an 8 x 11.5 piece of paper to pull of the first design. Those would come out bright and colorful. Then she would use half sheets of paper and do it again, without adding any more ink. These had more subtle colors, but were just as beautiful. I like the subtle ones the best.
Don’t worry, she almost dropped the paper at the end of the video, but it turned out fine.
This is on my summer to-do list, too!
Wow, those are gorgeous! Great video, too. I’m definitely going to check out the links above!
Kaia I loved our thank you note that you made. The paper was so beautiful that if you make more let me know. I will buy them from you because I love to send cards to my friends. In the note that you sent, it looked like a mermaid in swirls. Thank you so much for taking the time to write and lick a stamp.
