DE&i Posted March 6, 2015 Share Posted March 6, 2015 My daughter Iris is constantly trying to follow in the footsteps of her big brother Elliot. Especially on the art scene, so as it’s usually art afternoon on a Friday it was out with the craft things. First picture is Dinosaur foot prints using poster paints and three of Elliot’s plastic dinosaurs. Second picture is a Stegosaurus using a cardboard template of Stegosaurus with sandpaper as the thrills, cotton reel prints as the camouflage in brown poster paints and a scouring pad for the foliage. Just waiting for them to dry before they go in my prepping shed.

Pagurus Posted March 6, 2015 Share Posted March 6, 2015 That Stegosaurus would make a great illustration for a picture book. Reminds me a little of Eric Carle's books. Perfect for a proud parent to hang on the wall. The footprints look like they were fun to make! Start the day with a smile and get it over with.

DE&i Posted March 7, 2015 Author Share Posted March 7, 2015 Thankyou for your kind comments she really is my little bundle of joy. Iris will be awake for her breakfast soon I wonder what she will say about people talking about her artwork from the other side of the world. Regards, Darren.

snolly50 Posted March 8, 2015 Share Posted March 8, 2015 Iris made friends with a spiky, friendly dinosaur, but he was too big to fit through her kitchen door! So she brought him toast and jam outside, then jumped on his back and went for a ride! Human beings, who are almost unique in having the ability to learn from the experience of others, also are remarkable for their apparent disinclination to do so. - Douglas Adams, Last Chance to See Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
