two crafts from that artist woman


Gail, from that artist woman, has a tutorial for these fabulous plaster leaf prints.







We had fun making the leaf prints but nothing like the fun we had making her plaster frescoes.


The lion is done by C my ten-year-old. The planet Jupiter surrounded by stars of various temperatures is done by K my seven-year-old. I made the simple red flowers.





As you can tell, we even cracked and stained our frescoes to make them look old and authentic.


If you want a fun project try the frescoes!!

  2. How cool!!! They look great, sounds like a fun project.

    I thought my parents were the only ones that sent food! LOL
    They shipped a big box of carrots to us when we were stationed in Miami! and another time a bouquet of Lilacs from my Mom's garden!
    Such loving and thoughtful parents we had.

  7. both of these look like a ton of fun. the frescos are especially pretty and colourful! I've never worked with plaster so this would be new and fun for me and my little one to try.
