This little angel sculpture is made out of one paper plate! It's not hard to do. Find the center of the plate and draw a circle about 2.5 inches around the center. In that circle draw a head and arms fit into the circle. Cut from the outside edge into the inner circle, cutting around the head and arms. Now a cut a 1 inch slit on the inside of one wing and on the outside of the other wing. Fit one wing into the other. See the pattern here. Pull the arms to the front and shape them to a prayer position!

"The coloring project was something we all enjoyed...Your outline sketch was a beautiful way to get us started and I want you to know the finished product was a very coveted piece at the end of the conference. It was raffled off as a prize and one of the local Montessori directors was lucky enough to win it. She was very proud and we were all very jealous."  -- Michelle, a Montessori teacher, Aug. 2015

Celebrate Your Next Occasion by Having Guests Paint the “Coloring Canvas” 

The Coloring Canvas turns any get-together into a memorable event.

Here’s what’s included:

· A canvas with a personalized image, such as a portrait of the guest of honor, or something memorable symbolizing the events’ purpose.

· Art supplies needed for this event

· Instructions on turning a pre-drawn canvas into an event!
 
All of the above costs $150 + shipping.


PLUS: If you would like to have the artist present to facilitate the process and add finishing touches to make the canvas extra special, the fee would be an additional $35 per hour.

“This is a great idea. I loved working on the painting. It gave me a new way to share with a friend,” says Jan, participant at a Coloring Canvas event.

We have also offered a Papermaking Party. We create with fiber, lint and recycled paper  to make a 12" Sun. Then we'll add a Peace Dove image. You take the Sun home while it's wet, but it dries solid. Hang your masterpiece on the wall as it is, or mount and frame it.  Handmade paper connects us with history (it is ancient.) It connects us with the earth. And it connects us with modern artists who are exhibiting handmade paper creations in exclusive galleries.
Step-by-step instructions.  And we will start with a fun "scribble."  Ask for complete details.
