Posted in , , , , , By raen1111 0 comments



Well, I am just running a week behind in publishing last weekend's edition of "make something ANYTHING every weekend challenge" :)

 It is summer here at the Cicada Moon Workshop, Ella has finished school and I am done in a just week's time!!

 YAY!

 Last weekend was our 10th weekend here at the workshop and we hosted some friends (which are for many intents and purposes my family) to make some art around our dining room table.

 Kicking it off with some retro tunes:





1.  Let's gather around the table, covered in brown paper and brimming with all the things we will need ~ water colors, brushes, acrylics, modge podge, glitter, canvases (some new, some purchased at the thrift store):






2.  We get started with a little inspiration, we used Pinterest, ideas from a girls trip we took over spring break, and just playing around by sketching out our ideas:








3.   Mallory used paper plates to plan out her design then did this great ombre effect for her background:





4.  T and Maddie, mixing paints:






5.   Maddie and Mallory, getting the their creative juices flowing:
