Well, ok?

Art Day at Aunt Sonni's

Today Niece 1 and Niece 2 were joined by my new neighbor - we'll call him K6 (Kid 6.  There are 7 just on my block. It's kidified.)















K6 is my new BFF.  He loves to art like I do!  He is constantly drawing, cutting, taping, coloring.  I had to explain to him that he cannot use wooden pencils around me, but so far he is being accommodating haha.

Saturday night his family was at my house for dinner, and he had fun plundering my studio.  He found a little matchbox, and asked if he could have it.  I said sure. He LOVES little tiny books and boxes and things.  Before they left that evening, he had already decorated it, and started making some tiny art for it.

By the time I went over to their house to play games Sunday afternoon, he had completely filled up his little box with the cutest art - both created and found.  He had gotten his parents to set him up with his own "studio" - a table of his own, and he was super stoked to come to art with me again soon.




SO CUTE!!!!

So this morning, he came over and arted with the nieces.  As usual, the arting was interspersed with snacks, 5 minutes of a movie, a few rounds of hide and seek, and finding treasures in the garden....(today was flowers that look exactly like butterflies!  (Niece 2 informed her Mom it was ok for her to touch the wings - it would not fly away heehee.) But they still managed to make some cool shaving cream prints and paint some pics.

I missed having KayKay here for sure!  She usually helps me keep the mess under control while we art.  I did NOT do a good job of that since I like to art right along with them, but it's still totally worth it.  I love the smiles and giggles and hugs.  :)





And the tiny new pieces of art in my life!
