A Few Of My Fav Things

One of the highlights of the children's school year finishing up, is the art work that comes home!

I have posted before of how much I love the art of children  in those years before the dreaded eye of self criticism kicks in. I have been inundated with wondrous works from my son - I absolutely adore his explanation and description of the process and what he was trying to do.

I love this precarious tea light tower - he very proudly demonstrated how it worked, albeit  daytime. He told me how he made the slabs  and joined them, how he attached the decoration. This piece is so priceless to me in so many ways.

The painting was another favorite of mine - I am amazed at the depth he has created and the detail (he is not a patient child) on the dragon. They used rock salt which gave the wonderful texture. Nice to see one of the family creating some art!

Fabulous work, must be mother's influence.
The candle house is beautiful.

I love this painting - your son has a whimsical side to him. The colours are wonderful.

You'll always cherish the tealight tower, I'm sure. It is so cute. He must have worked hard on this!

I have wanted to wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. I am totally envious of your weather - Christmas combined with summer vacation... I talked for several hours with my sister-in-law in Sydney on Christmas Eve. It was freezing cold here and they were going off to the beach.

Happy holidays to you and all the best in the New Year!!

Hope you had a blessed Christmas. Wishing you and yours a prosperous 2008!!!

Lovely work - the talent gene seems to run in the family. I remember the time my eldest got into an argument in KG with her teacher because she wanted to paint the sky green and the grass blue and wasn't allowed...
