Paints and Potatoes !!

We are digging back into the artsy things our family loves. We have been painting and we also made some clay furniture for Anna's Little Nature Cottage.

Here are some snapshots of the furniture we made for the cottage. The next step will be to paint it! I think Hazelnut the rabbit is very pleased with his new furniture, you can see the smile on his face!
We used Crayola Air Dry clay to make the furniture you can purchase this at walmart and it is a wonderful inexpensive clay that is great for children.







Our family stumbled upon an old art book this week that we just love!

This is not your ordinary potato stamping book. In this book you will find all sorts of inspiration and instructions for simple to very complex designs. All made with potatoes now how fun does that sound!!

I decided to work on a tree I wanted a piece of art for the new room in Children's Church. And Noah decided to add some texture to a rock in a picture he was working on using the potatoes.
Here are some snap shots of potato printing!








And then there is Liam. He loves to let us know how different he is from the rest of the Watts clan;D He really isn't, he just expresses himself differently. Liam is super independent and always has been but I try to encourage him to find his own thing to do and just to do it along side us so we are all still sharing our time together as a family!
Liam found a place to draw!

And he made a super wonderful comic book character called Hydroman!

And Anna is painting a Dolphin

Here is the verse that I included on my painting although on my painting of course I wrote the chapter and verse backwards and had to go back and fix it lol!

"I am the vine and you are the branches. If a man remains in me and I in him, he will bear much fruit: apart from me you can do nothing." John15:5

Have a Blessed week Love The Watts Family!!
