Reuse!

Okay.

Art project of the day (a few days ago in this wee hobbit town), coffee tin drum!!!!! This makes some of the richest drumming noises i've heard, perhaps not the richest coffee...for that we would have to visit Nik, she makes GOOD COFFEE!! (thank you for making real coffee for card making days Nik!!) But VERY good drumming noises. I couldn't resist, daddy's belt made for a great drum strap, and our chopsticks, excellent drumsticks. Here is our drummer girl, grovin' out. We danced to "THey might be Giants", Julia drumming away and mommy shaking the bells. i'm sure the neighbors love that we have no real curtains yet!! they get entertained all the time.



Moving on to more art projects: This was yesterday's work, a cloth 'paper' doll. We made a "story board" of sorts which is still in need of a frame. This is the humble beginning of a flannelgraph set for Jules. My mind has imagined dresses, shoes, hats, animals, shapes, moons, stars, bugs, trucks, etc....anything to make stories together.
One day they will be made, for now, there is the doll, the dress, the hat, the purse, the shoes, and the moon. (we also made bugs today for this scene.)
