Recent projects: Class Plate for Carnival

Class Plate for Zach's kindergarten class

At the school carnival the kinder. and 4th grade classes have plates that get auctioned off. Mom's paint them. Each plate has a "personal" touch from the kids. It can be either a name, fingerprint, or a picture the kids made. They can have the same theme as the carnival, be something specific for the class or teacher, or just something special for that particular class. This year I painted the plate for Zach's class. What a major project. Lots of fun. I lost count of the hours in it, but enjoyed every bit of it. This year's carnival theme is "Fun and Games at Pebble Creek". If you can't tell, the plate theme is a game: Hi Ho Cherry-O. Thought appropritate for a kinder. class. The kids each did fingerpints as cherries. The plates will go on display at the school this week. The carnival is March 1. All beware, Laurie has her eye on this one and wallet is ready! I have even signed up to paint Brett's 4th grade plate for next year.

close up of detail on plate. Yes Laurie did this, believe it or not. I could not believe it even as I was doing it. Very proud.
