These are two originals done by two year olds. The ghost is a child’s foot painted with washable white paint. This is great fun, to make your student giggle by painting his/her foot white. I placed the black paper on the ground & i held the child’s ankle as he stepped on the black paper….

Mad hatter’s hat decoration
Halloween’s coming. 1. White card stock painted black, while paint is wet, sprinkle black glitter (I know?! can you believe there is black glitter?) 2.

Peace art project for kids…
Directions: I drew the dove & photocopied it onto card stock. I looked up every symbol for Peace in the world & drew them on a chalkboard. (At an art store, I purchased boxes of white only oil pastel) This project was done at our Jewish Temple in Birmingham. I had every class come to…
Painting dragons
I found the Hobbit map on the internet & I copied it onto card stock. The dragon–I drew it onto thick card stock & painted it with nail polish. This is a very smelly art project & one I would only recommend for adults, due the nail polish smell. The end result will have people…

The State of our Union
Even our Union is broken. Congressman & woman fight with one another, who do they work for? Us, not the money, vote them out, the ones who refuse to compromise, vote them out of office, no matter their party. I am married to my opposite, but we’ve learned to compromise with each other. Because we are grown ups. Because we love each other & what we are, a family. We (it is ‘we’ isn’t it? People & the land are ‘we’), as a country, are giving up & pulling out. I drive down our roads & there is nothing to see but FOR SALE signs. This is NOT who we are. We have families, we have homes with friends & dogs & cats & birds & fish… These are the things that define who we are, do you really want to sell WHO we are? But who am I to say this? Nobody, really. I’m just one vote. But I’m paying attention & these ribbons say it all.
