Bead creatures by Velvet (age 11)

Made with tiny seed beads, these little creatures are super sweet. Made by Velvet unaided.

Knitted Fox

Velvet knitted this fabulous fox, all on her own, its from this brilliant Lucinda Guy book.
He enjoyed his trip to the bluebell wood and a photoshoot!

Rabbit knitted with toothpicks!

This little purple rabbit, was knitted in Turkey, because she had lost her favourite rabbit. Cotton yarn bought in a market and the knitting needles were toothpicks from a restaurants (when one snapped there were plenty more readily available) here he is finished and back home in the uk.

Hen - by Pearl

Pearl drew this on the computer after we practised drawing a chicken on paper. She has learnt how to switch tools in Paint and use 'Fill Colours' with the bucket too, and added the text herself too.

Uno cutout - Photoshop processing by Velvet

Velvet did all the post-processing herself!!! She saw me doing something similar the other day and wanted a go for herself. This is her playing UNO on Boxing Day.

Pearl's Pig - Painted on Computer using 'Paint'

Pearl has been very clever on the computer..she logs on herself, loads 'Paint' program, draws delightful pictures and then prints them out. Usually the first I know is the paper being thrust at me. This time I saved it for her so she could share it on the Blog!!

Knitted Butterfly by Velvet

Velvet knitted this today, her first arty project of 2007. Following instructions from a Knitting book I gave her for Christmas. Cute isnt it, not too good at flying though.
