Last year around this time, my daughter and I collaborated on a Mod Podge bird project. We had such a great time making those birds that we wanted to do another Mod Podge collaboration. We decided to make a new set of creatures each year. This year's choice? bugs.
We drew random bug shapes and traced the outlines to create wings that would fit each shape, then covered each wing with paper scraps.
Some paper scraps and a little bit of Mod Podge later, we enough bugs to cover a 10" square canvas.
Very cute! Love the idea of each wing having different papers.
ReplyDeleteThanks Mia. It was fun!
DeleteLady bug love and some other interesting flying ones. What fun. xox
ReplyDeleteThanks Corrine. The best part was making art with my girl. Good times.
DeleteSo colourful and, well, can I call bugs pretty? I have a thing with them. While they don't really bother me in real life, while I'm asleep insects are a major player in the only recurring nightmares I've ever had. But my dream bugs are not nearly this cute.
ReplyDeleteLoulou, I have had many creepy roach dreams in my day. What is up with that? We are so Kafka.
DeleteOh how fun and colorful Jenny! Now these bugs I like very much!
ReplyDeleteThanks Linda. If only the bugs that sneak into my house from time to time were this colorful!
DeleteI love how you made it with your daughter. I hope my boys will want to craft with me when they are older. I might have to make ninjas or something though...
ReplyDeleteThey will... it will just have to be explosive in some way! You are already giving them the crafty bug with all the cute stuff you do with them every day. They will remember all those little things. Mine do!
DeleteOh what lovely bugs! I became a follower!! Like your blog
