I won't be around this week but I do have a creative space item to leave here...
My youngest's class had a secret santa last week. They were allotted the name
of a class member with whom they are not usually friends and had to do nice
things for them. Then, on the last day of school, they had to give them a gift (no
more than $5 in value) and reveal who they are.
After thinking about what $5 buys these days, the Little One and I decided we
could come up with something better from what we had at home... and so a pencil
case was created for the price of a green zip, a gifted hand-screenprinted panel by
Anna Bartlett at Shiny Happy Art of Christmas Angels and a panel of my very first
attempt at screenprinting on a thrifted tablecloth.
Other stuff which we used that I already had were the Fabrico Fabric Markers
bought ages ago from here. Anna doesn't do these particular panels anymore but
she does have some other Christmas Angels here.
So, this is the result.
I'm told she loved it :) See you in about a week's time!
