And THIS is where we got the idea from. Thanks, Jami, for the tutorial! I am in awe of Jami's {and several other of my friends'} creativity. I used to have an artistic side and I have drifted away from it the last several years. Well, I am finding it again, and I am going to help my kiddos cultivate their own artistic talents. That is a promise!
We bought an old painting at the thrift store, got rid of the glass and put our collage in the frame. Yes, i kept the tacky gold frame, I happen to like this particular kind of retro gold. Shelby and I shopped Hobby Lobby for some fabric that shouted 'Lichtenberger'. We are all about loud wild prints and bold colors. Then, we created owl templates and each person chose the fabric for his or her own owl. We used pages from an old Living Bible we also got at the thrift for the background and dismantled our scrabble game for the words. "I love you more...No, I love you more...No, I love you more, INFINITY," is a common game we play around here after watching Pee Wee's Big Adventure as a family several months back, so that is where the phrase on the collage comes from. The kids did most of the work except for the cutting and gluing in place. This was a family project in the truest sense. We had so much fun doing this together with praise music blaring on Good Friday and Saturday afternoon. Now, what should we do next?
