<br />Aren't they wonderful? The kids are really excited to see their work on permanent public display. The kids worked on the stamps and stencils in the spring and they were completed in August. If you are interested in doing a similar project in your neighborhood, I suggest painting in the spring or fall, when it's not so hot.<br />

Hello Friends,<br />
<br />
Fall - a new school year for the kiddos, so I feel like I should be productive.<br />
<br />
So here's my "Sweet Square" for today. It is a 30-day challenge inspired by <a href="http://www.mydogisapancake.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Ann Marie</a>, who was inspired by <a href="http://diandramae.blogspot.com/2012/09/a-month-of-experimentation.html?spref=tw" target="_blank">Diandra Mae</a>.<br />
<br />
I wanted to try DoInk for a while but found out that they shut down their web app last week =(. Very sad but understandable, since they are directing their energy toward mobile apps.<br />
<br />
I searched for a way to make a flip book and found this: <a href="http://benettonplay.com/">Benettonplay.com</a>. The flipbook can be exported to a PDF for printing and making into a paper book! Very neet. They also have other fun toys on their site.<br />
<br />
So here's my very rusty animation-try. My wrist is a little sore from piano so I didn't tinker too much. I think the blinking eyes are convincing <br />
<br />
Thanks for visiting!<br />

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Inspired by a request for crafters at http://childsown.wordpress.com/ I'm showing you some of the toys I've made in the past few years. The designs come from the girls. Sometimes their drawings are so cute that I want them to become a stuffed animal. My skills are not as developed as Child's Own Studio but some day if I practice enough they will be. =) </td></tr>

Hopefully we will be able to also reach out to Medford High School too.</span> <br />
<br />
The kids have been so excited to see their work displayed in the show. It has grown from 50 to more than 250 participants and the upcoming exhibit will hopefully include even more kids.<br />
<br />
If you wish to support this project, I've created a supply list on the Dick Blick art supply website. We've already received a $10 donation! Thanks for supporting the arts in Medford.<br />

This is a much-delayed post of photos the 2011 Children's Art Showcase, which happened in February. Thank you to the Friends of the Medford Family Network, Medford Arts Council, McGlynn Middle School, Medford Arts Center, Inc. and Meadow Glen Mall for assistance with this project. The teachers contributed outstanding and creative work done by Medford 3rd and 7th graders at Columbus ES, Brooks ES, and McGlynn MS.<br />

</div>I have been wanting to paint the gorgeous foliage for a while. After my crit meeting yesterday afternoon I was finally inspired to get out there and do it. It has been so long since I did a painting. My older daughter was watching me and running around the yard, then decided she should be in the painting. I still think it needs something... What do you think?jcdillustrationhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09618930620598800322noreply@blogger.com3
