Outfitting


Superhero Girl
by Lily

Originally I had this picture a few posts back under Gracie's "Fashion Girl" entry.  Then it was brought to my attention that it was Lily who drew this one.  I guess Gracie's not the only fashion designer in the house :)

It's Turtle Boy!


Elijah just turned five.  Turtles are his favorite animal.  This drawing was Gracie's birthday gift to him.

Fashion Girl

Half the time when Gracie draws, she simply creates people milling about in various outfits.  Here are some examples I found scattered around the house...

A dragon rider!

"Transportation" by Elijah

by Elijah, age 4

Some guys riding on a turtle, a dog, and an opossum.

(Beyond its sheer awesomeness, a couple of other things I like about this: 1. the "footprints" the animals are leaving beneath their feet, and 2. the fact that Elijah knew to draw the riders' far legs behind the animals' backs.)

It's nice to have a friendly panda who can give you a lift...

Woods



I've been picking up little free-flooring-sample-squares from Home Depot for the kids to paint on.  Isaac and Gracie decided to make a series of tree paintings on them.  I love the variety they've come up with!  Here are a few examples (you can click on any of them to get a closer look...)

Banjo Pigs

The kids and I have really enjoyed keeping tabs on the super blog Dueling Banjo Pigs where folks draw... um... dueling banjo pigs. 
The K-Zids wanted in on the fun and worked up these pictures!

Sea Serpent Blue
by Isaac, age 11

It's been a long time since we've had a mosaic to post here.  Isaac's been building this guy off and on for over a year!  And now it's finally done.  He made this out of our big tub of cut magazine squares.
