ReplyDeleteI loved the found object mobile – so sweet – but that kinetic bug drawing contraption tops them all.. Totally amazing!
ReplyDeleteHmm.. almost as amazing as this giveaway. You definitely didn't hype it up too much!
I love the puppet project!
ReplyDelete(And your beautiful tea cozy!)
Thanks for this chance to win!
So many great projects to choose from! I love the extended landscape. Another great giveaway here - thanks so much!
ReplyDeleteI thought the shadow puppets were divine. I love the bow tie on the little cat. I know this is a project my boys would have lots of fun with.
ReplyDeleteThere are so many projects listed. I never knew. Very clever.
I loved the animal portrait. I've actually tried this with school children as I was a student teacher...It was a hit! Thanks for all the great ideas...hope you will have more to share!
ReplyDeleteI really really want to win your giveaway this time!! But how can I possibly choose only one of all those amazing craft activities?! If you really really push me for one it's have to be the rabbit puppet (it covers so many activities with nice breaks in between for drying etc), but runners up are fabric collage, alphabet poster and paint textures!
ReplyDeleteThank you for this. K
my favourite is the rabbit puppet!
ReplyDeletemy fav is the Project#11 Alphabet poster!!
ReplyDeleteI love project 15- the book cover print! :)
ReplyDeleteOh, oh, oh!!! count me in! My fave project is the "Watercolor Flowers" :)
ReplyDeleteWow!! Another cool giveaway!! Can I say I love all the projects, but the one that stood out for me is the paint texture-cool effect, the black and one.
ReplyDeleteI love the watercolor resist project. It is a great way to use a child's own masterpiece to launch a lifetime of art appreciation-including museum trips to visit similar masterpieces!
ReplyDeletelove the rabbit puppet! :D
ReplyDeleteThe Alphabet Poster, hands down!
ReplyDeleteI like the Water color resist painting
ReplyDeletewao! one of my favourites is:
ReplyDeleteProject #18 Shadowbox collage
Love it!!!!
My favourite is Project 19 - Shadow puppets
ReplyDeleteI love those sweet Brooches and hairbands.
ReplyDeleteI just found your site and I always come back. You have amazing stuff here!
This is an amazing giveaway!
ReplyDeleteMy favorite project is the animal portraits.
Children and animals, what could be more natural.
I love how it asks "what if"?
I LOVED the wood veneer collage & the fabric collage. We made a fabric one after seeing that!

Yay! I love the Eric Carle creation of course, I have a book that shows how he does his, and it's the same idea but using coloured paint and tissue paper and letting it dry. It would be fun to try sometime!
ReplyDeleteLove the paint textures one! Gonna try it with my 8 YO this weekend!
ReplyDeleteWhat an amazing and generous giveaway!
ReplyDeleteThis is a tough one... That is a lot of really incredible projects! I think my favorite is the fabric collage, but I also very much like the concept of the Extended Landscape project and I love the shadowbox cut out painting.
I LOVE project no 15 - printing of the book cover. being a keen letterpress adventurer my daugther loved creating her own print/covers.
ReplyDeleteAll great projects, v.v. hard to choose just one. Bug is brilliant and scribble garden is scrummy. I choose the plaster relief project because it is perfect for me to do with children who have special needs.
ReplyDeleteWow, difficult to choose, but I choose: the plaster relief project. Nice to combine forms, and exciting to see the effect!
ReplyDeleteMy most favorite is the Eric Carle paint texture collage. He is one of my favorite children's book authors, and the project is great becaues it can be adapted to fit any skill level.
ReplyDeleteSo many projects to choose from, we've already done the watercolor resist, we love the styrofoam printing and the plexiglass monoprinting, but I think because I am sewing lately and have many scraps that the fabric collage is our current favorite! Thanks for the projects btw.
ReplyDeleteDefinitely an amazing giveaway! All the projects are so good. I'd probably choose a different favorite everytime I look through them, but today I'm really liking #26 Frame art...I like the way you find ideas that stretch the boundaries of what would normally be expected.
ReplyDeleteThe Alphabet Poster, definitely!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the giveaway. We love the kids crafts. We've made the watercolor flowers and the scribble garden and they are framed and hanging in our house! My personal favourite is the fabric collage but can't seem to get the kids to love fabric as much as I do.
ReplyDeleteI love the shadow puppets - but I also love the fabric collage. Great use of scraps!
ReplyDeleteI adore the rabbit puppet
ReplyDeleteArounna, this is an amazing give-away!! Thank you for sharing such a special part of you... here and with all of your craft projects. I don't even have to go peek... I already know which is my favorite. I loved them all, especially the alphabet and watercolor flowers, but the rabbit puppet reminds me of one my mother made for me when I was little ( a chicken in the same style). Hope you had a great weekend and enjoyed the sun (at least on Saturday).
ReplyDeleteI love the paper flowers (#4). I hope there's a publisher out there with the foresight to have you compiling these wonderful projects for a book, Arounna.
ReplyDeleteThis is a wonderful giveaway!
ReplyDeleteSo many gorgeous projects - it's hard to choose just one.. I do love project #25 - Stencil shapes on wood veneer.
OHHH your giveaways are terrific!! Hope I'll have lucky this time :D
ReplyDeleteIt's so hard to chose only one project... but I must said rabbit puppet, alphabet poster, paper flowers... so many!!!
(^v^)
The alphabet poster is definitely my favorite!
ReplyDeleteProject #11 - Alphabet Poster is my favourite!
ReplyDeleteThe styrofoam plaster cast is great - styrofoam gets my boys imagination working anyway, but to create something completely new out of it is thrilling - love it!
ReplyDeletewhat a fantastic giveaway!
ReplyDeletemy favourite was the Alphabet poster - simple yet beautiful and frameable.
Thank you for the giveaway and sharing these ideas with us! I loved the alphabet poster but since I have so many fabric scraps, I have to pick the fabric collage.
ReplyDeleteAlthough I was drawn to many of the projects I think the wood veneer collage was stellar - now to tackle finding a source of wood veneer scraps.
ReplyDelete#29 puppet is my favoite. Most of the materials you can find around the house and puppets are fun. I just stumbled on your site, but it is now under my favorites. Yeah! I am excited about your giveaway. I love printmaking, but I have never printed on fabric. Happy summer.
ReplyDeleteProject # 24 Paint Textures inspired by Eric Carle. I actually stumbled upon this site last year (which is how I came across your blog) and used this idea with a class of 11/12 year olds. The results were beautiful. Thanks for sharing such good ideas and not just keeping them to yourself :) Hopefully this photo link will work: http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=60990&id=528234202&l=afa654b301
ReplyDeleteI love the kinetic drawing bug!
ReplyDeleteit might just be a tie between the hairbuttons and the pattern print book cover. i thank you for pointing me back to these projects, because i've found new inspiration again! my youngest daughter is growing her hair longer and it always seems to be landing in her icecream! these hairbuttons will be sure to entice her into pulling it back a bit more. my older daughter just got black moleskines for her school notebooks and the print would look so great on them! thank you so much for sharing such great projects.
ReplyDeleteMy pick is the shadow boxes and my reasons are long but here's a link to the reason why?

Thank you so much
I really like the printed book cover project.
ReplyDeleteoooh - definitely the eric carle inspired creation! that was a staple in my house as a kid!

It may be too late for the giveaway, I'm in California, but I recently saw a few puppet shows that were wonderful, so I'd say the shadow puppets were the best.
