Painting a Cute Halloween Charm
It is almost September!
For many it is back to school time, for me it is one day closer to Halloween!
My next coloring book is Penelope's Garden, out in a few weeks, and in celebration I made a cute witchy Penelope charm.
I drew her on a three inch Shrinky Dink circle with Sharpies, put her in a 325 degree preheated toaster oven and cooked til flat.
Very important! I punched the hole in the top before toasting.
She looked a bit muddy so I added some acrylic paint highlights.
Here is a quick vid of the highlights at the end.
Enjoy and Happy (getting close to) Halloween!

Artsy Back to School Stained Glass Bookmark for Teacher
Summer went by too fast!
Bring a tiny bit of artsy fun into the classroom with a back to school bookmark for the teacher.
For this craft you will need:
Elmer's (or similar) glue
Colored Sharpies
Thick paper or cardboard in color of your choice
Clear plastic sheet
First cut out a long book mark shape from the paper.
It can be any shape you like, curvy, swervy, a flower, a lightning bolt, or a rectangle. Just use your imagination and have fun.
Cut a window in the paper.
Using the paper bookmark as a guide, cut the clear plastic slightly smaller than the bookmark.
Now make any type of stained glass design with the Sharpies that you choose. Flowers, shapes, even just one or two colors looks great.
If you are using white paper or cardboard you can color it with the Sharpies too.
Take the glue and put a thin line around the clear plastic when you have finished coloring, and glue it on the window.
Viola! You have a beautiful stained glass bookmark lovely enough to grace any book.
Have so much fun and please show me the bookmark that you and your kids create.
