Jewelry Affaire Spring 2012
Somerset Studio May/June 2011
Isn’t this little fellow just the cutest guy ever? I just adore his over-sized, fuzzy coat!
No snow here yet in Maryland, but the weather has finally started turning chilly. We are wrapping up the final days of school before the holiday break. All my little friends (and some big ones!) have been enjoying creating “Frosty Boxes” to give to their parents. I was so inspired by the Fairie Shrine I made with the mega-talented Debrina Pratt at Spellbound last month,
that I just knew I could adapt the idea into something the kids could create.
The kids (ages 5-8, special education students) spent several days painting the boxes, gluing vintage looking pictures (thank you Pinterest!), creating little personalized snowmen, and then adding sparkle with glitter glue, snow glitter and super fine antique silver glitter (thank you Martha Stewart!). 
The “Frosty Boxes” came out stinking cute, I have to say!!!!! Art is such a wonderful medium to reach my special students – vocabulary, sharing, turn taking, following directions, not to mention expressing themselves creatively – so many opportunities to sneak in a bit of learning while creating something beautiful and unique.
Have a Sparkly Day!!
You are so awesome!! I love Special Ed teachers! I love that you let them do things that others don’t think they can do. You have no idea how happy that makes me as a Mom of a Special Needs child. Merry Christmas, Sue.
They are DARLING! Great job!
Those are keepsakes for sure!
