Artful Friday – Valentines Day

Today is a busy day. I have made a shop update with my fat bunnies and The Olympic torch will be passing by my street right onto Granville Island, hoping to get a good spot for that.
Yesterday my art students and I made Valentines. I don’t usually do holiday craft type art with my students as they get to do that at school. However, every now and then I will do one on multiple request by the students.
We talked about Valentines and where the idea came from. The guesses were adorable. I love working with kids, their minds are the most fantastic place to be.
Question of the day: What do you hope to receive for Valentines Day?
Most common was chocolate, a heart shape chocolate, and one little girl said a puppy!
Materials used: paper color of their choice, glue, scissors, sticker paper,finger paint, chalk pastels, ribbon, twine, and paper doilies (of coarse) I brought from home.
I hope you have a wonderful Friday. Check out my bunnies, they would make a great Easter treat for someone, or look just just sitting on your bed. he he

I always love what you do!
I would love a nice long uninterrupted night on Val's day, of course that would be a big wishful thinking with baby G around 🙂
