Postcards

Fishing in NY was a wonderful relaxing time.
Saturday, 3 of the kids kept me company at the cabin.
Laura, Russell and Emily.
I pulled out my Art Bag and Daily and went to town.
I am a great multi tasker when it comes to doodling!
I showed the girls my work and my supplies.
I brought some 6x6 Stencilgirl stencils
 and some blank post cards.
We chatted and visited and the girls got to work. 
We used a huge variety of pens and markers
and Neocolor II crayons and Twinkling H2O's.

It was fun to watch them work.
I didn't give them any guidance.
They just played and experimented.

 Some of these post cards are ready to go...
Others may be a background.
We'll see.
These little projects are perfect for traveling.
They are compact and flexible.
A great way to experiment.
 
Life is Good!
(when your kids love to do art with you!)

  7. I agree with your vacation style! My kids and grandkids have enjoyed many enjoyable hours artmaking together. And your results are fantastic, so colorful and unique! Do you have a good source for the Strathmore watercolor postcards? I've had a hard time finding them in my usual art/crafts stores.

    1. Hi Sandy. Thanks for the kind words. My girls have always loved doing art! I found the Strathmore Watercolor Postcards at Blick's in Columbus,Ohio. Have you checked the Strathmore website or Amazon?
