Day 60: Red

Wow! This is the final day of red! Can't believe it's been 2 months already! (Happy Leap Day BTW...) Due to the weather last night/this morning ( we had rain all night and turned into many inches of snow this morning- slushy mess!)and a choir feildtrip, my last 2 classes of 4th graders only had 5 students in them! So we had a really low key class time. They worked on their stuff and I worked on this paper cut. I so wanted to end the red run with something big and WOW! Oh well. : )

Peace and Fabulousness!

Day 59: Red

Did a couple start up projects but ended up doing a paper cut masculine flower ..LOL It was just what I ended up coming up with. Just a little distracted with red coming to an end on Thursday :( oh well.

Peace and fabulousness!

Day 58: Red

Today I continued on in the paper cut vein. Found red thread today for the tree's swing's ropes which was a fun touch. So wished I had more hours in the day to have explored this picture further. Oh well. There is always tomorrow, except tomorrow is Tuesday and suppose to be weather nasty! I think I can, I think I can! :)

Peace and fabulousness.

Day 57: Red

Today's piece once again came to me in a dream. I was so frustrated because I didn't have time to get to it until this afternoon. It is a paper cut picture. I was very pleased with how it turned out. It really strikes me as an avenue I want to further explore. Hope you enjoy it!

Peace and fabulousness!

Day 56: Red

The piece I did for today had a weird journey. I dreamt it repeatedly this morning. Each time I dreamt about it, it got more and more elaborate. As the day progressed, I got more and more distracted by another project I was trying to finish and making homemade chili with a tomato Surly reduction. The chili almost got recorded as the project today but I didn't feel right about it. (Thanks to the friends on FB who gave a thumbs up to it ) So I did a paper cut 3D city which is but a shadow of my dream. This project seems to another part of an idea that's trying break through ...we'll see! Peace and fabulousness.

Pictures Monday!

Day 55: Red

Happy Friday! I decided to use my lunch break to assemble this piece. Very similar to the heart piece, just circular and smaller. I had another couple dozen petals painted, but decided to keep it smaller, simpler. It almost felt delicacy of the petals would have gotten lost if it was much bigger. I'll just have to use the leftovers for another one over the weekend, perhaps. Only more 5 days left of red! Speaking of orange(huh?), today my kindergarteners and I worked with orange. Since I dress all in that color when I teach a color with them, it looked like I had just escaped from a jail. They especially loved the fuzzy orange socks. Peace and Fabulousness!

Day 54: Red

Got to work uber early this morning to get this one done so I could work on some other pieces tonight. I'm in the middle of paper units with my kindergarteners, 2nd, 5th and 6th graders, so I wanted to created something as an example of what could be done with paper. They've been creating their own paper by watercoloring it. We've been looking at Henri Matisse, Eric Carle, Ezra Jack Keats, etc... Some of my students are doing amazing pieces! So proud! Peace and Fabulousness!
