My 10 year old daughter’s artwork blows me away.
She started this project herself for the summer. We had very cheap paper on a roll. The paper was very smooth and very light. Sophie used sharpies to make this masterpiece. When she finished, she brought it upstairs so I could photograph it…as she passes through the kitchen, with the art flying behind her, it passes by the kitchen windows and I saw stained glass! “Sophie, put it up against the window, it looks just like stained glass” I still have this. Its torn and in rotten condition because I let her keep it taped up in her room. She has since given it to me. I’m having it framed.
Your daughter’s art is a masterpiece. I sincerely hope she gets back into art. What a talent! Thank you for following BrewNSpew.

Hey! Found this on Pinterest and followed through 364+ comments to write here. As a mother of two kids in their 20’s, can I just say that there is hope at the end of a very long tunnel. Its a hard thought to hold onto sometimes, I know, but I guarantee that your daughter will blossom into a wonderful young woman, and all these teenage “trials” will be forgotten (by her, not so much by you, haha!). Wonderful piece of art here, she will become so much more, you wait and see! 🙂

Hi Karen, sorry for the delay in my response. The paper was found in a locally owned toy store. The paper is a roll, its very thin & has a shine to it. I think using any thin paper would work. However, after being in direct sunlight, the colors did fade. I think a UV varnish spray would be best. It would last forever that way. This project was done by my 9 year old daughter. That daughter is now 17 & a senior in high school. She still amazes me with her art. Good luck finding the paper, it shouldnt be too hard. Maybe look on Amazon, and buy the cheapest roll? ~amy

Hi Rhia,
My daughter thought up the idea herself & surprised me with it when she was 9 or 10years old. I had cheap paper on a roll & she had been given her own sharpie markers. What she did was roll out some paper & used the black sharpie first & made squares & rectangles, then she went back after the black sharpie dried & used color to create designs within her boxes. She is now 14 years old & she has finally given me the piece of art work & i’m going to have it framed, glass on both sides to hang in front of a window. That is what she did & i wish you good luck! ~amy

HI Sohpie’s Mom. This is a STRANGE question I know but, does Sophie have Attention Deficit Disorder? The reason I am asking is that my daughter & son and myself all have some form of Add or Adhd and the 1 variable that links us ALL together is this disorder is that we ARE ALL HIGHLY CREATIVE!!!! Those kids can come up with most artistic things that adults just sit in amazement that a child made the piece. It is the same feeling I got when I looked at Sophie’s faux stained glass picture!!! It is something that shows a developed imagination far beyond her 10yrs at the time.. All I can say, Add or not, is GOD BLESS HER AND KEEP HER AND MAY HE ALLOW HER TO KEEP CREATING!!!

I’m sorry-wax paper is a mistake, I wish I could change it! Sophie used a cheap roll of paper that came from a toy store. The paper is like very cheap & thin office paper-except on a roll. It can smear a bit so work from top to bottom! Most artwork should be done that way, that way you wont drag you elbow through paint or markers

the paper is – I’ll check it out. But I wondered it you could
use clear contact paper; leave the backing on during process,
then remove and double back onto another piece of clear
contact paper. Just a thought – then you could frame with
craft foam or craft sticks to hang in a window. Another
thought for handing is using craft glue to paint on the back
of the contact paper to make a window cling.
