Art is kind of like story telling, the imagery evolves slowly, but distinct yet.
Art is also kind of cathartic, helps me to forget the stress.
Art is fun.
Doing fun art with Lil S is another thing. I have to be quick and have to keep an eye on everything. Lil S has the tendency of putting everything to his mouth. ( But off course when it comes to eat his regular lunch/dinner, he refuses it vehemently!).
We did few "art n craft" sessions and I can tell you from my experience, doing a craft project on a carpeted floor definitely makes your reflexes go faster!
I never knew before that hand prints can be turned into so much fun objects. But if you take a look into Pinterest boards, there are lot of ideas floating around. Apart from hand/foot print,we added other things like twigs, dry leaves to add more interesting texture. Once you start creating there is no looking back, you can draw inspiration from every thing around you!
None of these projects were completed in a single session. Getting one decent foot/hand print is enough for the day! While he napped, I added embellishments and tried to give a complete look. Did I tell you that I figured out getting footprint out of Lil S was easier than getting his hand prints? And did I tell you keeping a wet sponge ready or be close to the sink also helped in the aftermath of the "art session"!
Here is a list of the art projects we did together!

Meet Mr. Toucan and Lil Sparrow ( made with Rose leaves and some other dry leaf)   |
Meet Mr. Minion , a bit confused about everything
Meet Mr. Sniff and Mr. Scurry
Meet Mr. Jelly Belly!
.Our projects may not turn out perfect always, but nevertheless, we had fun in dabbing colours together.
And before I end, here is one of my favorite quote
"To practice any art,
no matter how well or badly,
is a way to make your soul grow
So, do it"
~ Kurt Vonnegut
