Getting ready...

for the workshop tomorrow....I made some samples to give the kids some ideas of things to make at the Art From Scrap "skeleton" workshop that I will be teaching this Saturday. You never know how many kids will show up-could be 6 or 20! And all ages...so it's good to have a number of things to inspire the creativity in all ages. I will try and take some photos if I'm not too busy.

This is a "Day of the Dead" inspired mask. I made a blank one for the kids to decorate and color in.

I think the fun part for this project will be making hats and clothing for the skeleton to wear.
The arms and legs are connected by brads and are all movable.

Here is my completed Peace Cat that is on its way to Israel right now.

And a couple of wool owls got their spots and wings....!

I love the colorful skeleton. I'm wondering how big the whole thing is and what kind of paper board you used. I'll look forward to the pictures.
