how much is that doggie in the window?

These are about
the cutest pups

in town.
Full of energy, loyal,
and they would love
nothing more
than to lick your face.


I think it would be really fun
to have a dog
who doesn't leave presents
in the backyard
(especially the smelly kind),
who looks happy all the time,
who is quiet,
who will stay when you ask it to,
who doesn't require to be fed
twice a day,
and makes you smile
every time you look at him.


Could they be...
a little like their owners?

Serious and Smart.

Fun and Playful.

Loyal and Gentle.

Thoughtful and Inquisitive.

I think so.

They are priceless!

nature's best

liquid watercolors, straws, large watercolor paper

Armed with straws we head outdoors to blow drops of liquid watercolors across the paper and the results were totally AMAZING!!! These beautiful trees are by far one of my most favorite projects. I loved that the project was unpredictable, that the colors uniquely blended on their own, and that the process was so very fun to watch. You will have to remind your students to take breaks especially if they felt lightheaded. We had a lot of fun and I know this will become one of your favorites too!!

dog days of summer

I would like to introduce you to some of my favorite friends.

They love to sit around and wag their tails.


They are fat and happy.

If you could throw them a bone or scratch them behind their ears they will
be your trusted friend forever.

picasso dogs

Fun and Picasso go hand in hand or should I say paw in paw.

if they could jump off the canvas...

These fun little creatures would tickle your funny bone if they could jump off the canvas. Their cuteness undeniable. Made on a background of canvas and paint each creature was cut and sewn by machine. A story was created with each detail added to the canvas. Buttons and sharpies were used to make these one of kind masterpieces that may hang on a wall or transform into a pillow. If you happen upon one these fun-loving creatures be sure to introduce yourself for they love to meet new people.

wild friends

Each creature was made with love and care by small hands and big imaginations. These wild creatures met on the table were they got to know each other. After becoming friends they decided to keep in touch after they set out on their different adventures.

come fly with me

These lovely dragons will carry you away to a mystical place, where magic happens. We used tempera paint to create a flying dragon. Have the students create a body first, then add the legs, tail, and head, it is best to not sketch the dragon first. After the paint is dry the kids can draw in the details with a black sharpie. The background was painted by using liquid watercolors and salt, while the watercolors were wet we created a one of a kind texture by pinching and sprinkling salt over the wet areas before they dry. Hold on tight and enjoy the ride!
