Fashion Camp

Hello friends,
We've been crafting, sketching and making different projects this week.
I have added photos of our days in Camp.


My favorite project so far was the fabric stamping !
Each of my campers designed their own pattern to place on a piece of fabric. I then gave them a square of rubber to draw their image on and I carved it out.


It still amazes me that sometimes an 8 year old doesn't know how to mix paint...or create colours...
BUT...it probably isn't taught at school as they have all the colours ready mixed.


We went on a couple of morning trips to local Galleries...this was fun to see their honest expressions on what they thought about the Art exhibited.
I like this piece below... "Use Less Words"...one reason I love Instagram! If you have an instagram account...come and find me :-)

Portraits...always an interesting lesson!

Maple trees giving an abundance of sap this year for Maple Syrup!

Peg decorating...

How Maple Syrup came about...

Paper stamping

Each of the girls pretended the dogs were theirs...although I think they were coyotes!

Designing T-Shirts...

from the sketchbook to the T-shirt

making clay beads..ready to paint today

The girls learnt to sew too...

cart horses pulling people ALL day long...thank you horses.

This was an interesting exhibit...the girls were not too sure about the crows...

Thank you for getting this far in the post...I know there were lots of photos!

I have so many posts to catch up on...thank you's to say...as I have received little greatnesses in the post in these past few weeks...

So...check back soon.

Have a wonderful Friday!

Goodbye Winter...HELLO Spring!

 I really must start by saying HURRAH...SPRING is HERE!!!!
Although from my pictures below...we really don't seem to be getting much "Spring" as of yet!
Those where taken from our walk the other day...crisp,white snow...and high contrasting  silhouettes.

Here's a family portrait I finished before the weekend. I'm really excited about being able to schedule Photo sessions in my new/future studio....this way I'll be able to use better lighting and gain better contrasts. Trust me, I appreciate the commissions I received...but trying to create depth from a flat image, can sometimes be a challenge.
I love the little Baby...she really is JUST as bright eyed as in the picture!

SO happy to be in Spring....but sad to loose all these shadows and bright days, snowflakes and snowmen.



 What will you miss about Winter??

So...we say finally..."Goodbye Winter"...and HELLO Spring!
I will be starting my seedlings soon...herbs, tomatoes,peppers...what are you growing this year?

Until tomorrow's Monday Mentions...bon nuit...
