Quick Art Lesson for Kids

This video is so well done and both my boys wanted to watch it over and over. 

Talking points:
We talked about which paintings were self-portraits and how different they were from eachother. 
We talked about how artists' moods and age change the way they draw themselves.
We talked about how different the styles were, but all equally interesting and important.

Same taste since 7th grade...

This is the first necklace I ever bought myself. 

It was the late 70's, 7th Grade, Spencers Gift Shop in the mall.(Anyone remember the stacked, plastic rainbow bangles? I had those, too.)

This is the most recent necklace I bought myself.

I bought it because:

1. I love it and have coveted it for ages.

2. It works well with maeflydesign jewelry.

3. I've had the same taste (and "hairdo") since 7th grade.

Working on a sweet little custom moonstone bracelet.

This one is for an 8th grade graduation.
