I started Emily around then too, I couldn't wait to let her explore art materials. <br /><br />I remember the scrape pictures too. I think you have to color really hard with bright colors and then go over it with a black crayon. The mixed media collage looks great though :0)<br /><br />Thank you for linking up to stART and sharing your projects with us!!Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17893829005402169615noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9174193483984074621.post-35402520770969723302010-04-09T21:04:32.834-04:002010-04-09T21:04:32.834-04:00These turned out great--wish I lived close enough ...These turned out great--wish I lived close enough to give you a break! :) I let Juliet paint when she was 21 months old too.silly eagle bookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08176707208858920510noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9174193483984074621.post-68034909500998910402010-04-09T10:53:12.905-04:002010-04-09T10:53:12.905-04:00I agree with you, those turned out really good!

Recently I tried to iron wax paper, like how we used to when I was a kid, and it didn't work! It wasn't waxy enough to melt.Jennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00342467790727259855noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9174193483984074621.post-90814958432549662662010-04-08T23:40:37.964-04:002010-04-08T23:40:37.964-04:00I am a new follower to your blog!

I think it's great when art evolves as your work on it. The owl is cute, and I was givin' ER an paintbrush then too. It's important to give them opportunities, ER took to it right away. She loved that kind of stuff right away. Not sure about that scrape away picture, have always seen them in kits with special paper. Had no idea you could make your own versions. But the end result is very cute nonetheless.Katiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18259780683037042533noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9174193483984074621.post-3534332610416134992010-04-08T19:49:28.612-04:002010-04-08T19:49:28.612-04:00Both projects look awesome!Both projects look awesome!JDaniel4's Momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10354900916937838719noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9174193483984074621.post-31242697174094523272010-04-08T18:22:33.397-04:002010-04-08T18:22:33.397-04:00Those projects turned out great!

We've recently read Bimwili and the Zimwi also by Verna Aardema (a lovely story, with nice illustrations but not so design conscious as these ones you show here) - it seems she does a lot of African folk tales. I'd like to find more of her stuff. I've not done scraping crayon thing since I was a kid but what i remember is that you have to do two layers of crayon - one coloured or multicoloured which you then colour over with a black crayon. Scraping away the black crayon leaves the coloured crayon underneath. Is this what you tried to do?Zoe @ Playing by the bookhttp://www.playingbythebook.net/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9174193483984074621.post-28956564466437327672010-04-08T15:17:22.801-04:002010-04-08T15:17:22.801-04:00What fun activities.What fun activities.Fun Frugal Mommyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07879061640149655882noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9174193483984074621.post-71533519053211242582010-04-08T14:13:07.081-04:002010-04-08T14:13:07.081-04:00The crayon resist turned out good :) I've see...The crayon resist turned out good :) I've seen several failed crayon resists on other sites - so at least you conquered that one!An Almost Unschooling Momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07784076035361200243noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9174193483984074621.post-83463520787105799452010-04-08T14:02:48.881-04:002010-04-08T14:02:48.881-04:00Sounds like you had quite a time!
