Happy Birthday Teri!
It was Sunday and Teri’s birthday was on the Thursday before and we had nothing… Then I had this great idea of making up a portrait with Teri, India, and Ezra. So we did. I was inspired by this artist Claudine Hellmuth who will create a portrait almost like a caricature you would get at the fair… only a lot more beautiful and something that would look wonderful on your wall.
Our version was a bit rougher then any of hers but it was something that India and I could do together. We both tore the paper and pasted it down and India drew the bodies for each of the heads. All I had to do was sketch out the beach scene and print out the heads. What a great Sunday afternoon activity. It was a blast.
I have to know…how did you do that great palm tree? I love this whole thing. I saw it a week ago and I came back to look at it again for inspiration (my Mom’s birthday is next week, yeah, I’m a copycat!) and I cannot figure out how you make the palm tree look so fantastic! Is the trunk really made up of pieces of paper you tore and glued? Hope y’all are well…
