An Art full month


It's been a creative month around here. First up is the "Brilliant" traffic box my 10 year old son painted. It's in our local area. He's a keen and very talented artist and had been on the waiting list for over a year, as the boxes are only released every 12 months. His design features the Roles Hill water towers at Manly, which are very prominent on the skyline around Brisbane. 


He had to go through the whole design process of drawing up his concept and presenting it to the organisers to get approval. Upon his allotted time period for painting he collected the big box of paints and other paraphernalia such as witch's cap and safety vests. I was his apprentice for the day and was very impressed at his patience and stamina and of course the end result. It was a long day painting and not once did he complain. He loved the whole process and wants to do another one!


It's also been baby month with lots of friends having bubs. This was a present I did for one bub. It's the boy version of the butterflies that I did for my own little girl a few years ago.


And here's the butterflies for a friend who had a little girl.
If you enjoy abit of arty farty stuff, check out my Pinterest link for other stuff I've done when I get a spare moment.

Finally, for something different "Glamping", if you don't know the term- Glamour Camping. It's all the rage and I came across this mini version for your back yard.


Bunnings have this tent. I'm sure it doesn't offer rain protection only shade, but still cute.


I think you'd be fighting the kids to use it. Hmm great cubby or afternoon siesta? 
Check out the grubby footprints!! I think a lot of people have been trying it out.
