Some Art

Hi everyone, Wee Man here. :-D

I want to show you some pictures I have drawn but they aren't coloured in. And I want to show you my scrapbook. It is for me to glue in my collection of bus and train tickets. I don't know how many I have but I think there is about 500.

The first drawing is an X7 Coast Rider Bus going to Aberdeen. It has 6 wheels.

The second drawing is an East Coast train 

This is the front of my scrapbook. I wrote Book 1 because Granny says I will need another book to fit all my tickets in.

Here are the first two pages. I am doing one page of bus tickets and then one page of train tickets. I have done 6 pages so far. 

They are not in date order because that doesn't matter. 

Here are my tickets.

Do you collect anything?

Bye for now!

Wee Man :-D

Altered Cereal Boxes

I wanted to make a magazine holder and chose to use an empty cereal box.  I covered it in some old notepaper, gesso, die-cut flowers, hearts, leaves & butterflies all stuck with matt-medium and outlined with a black pen.

Actually, instead of magazines, I've got my decoupage kits in it. I got fed up with them slipping of the shelf; but now they're neat and tidy :)

A certain wee man asked if I would do one for him as well, so we set to work, (with the box I was going to make my own, second one with ~ ahh, the sacrifices, haha). I had very specific instructions, with no deviation from the plan allowed.

I gave the box a couple of thick coats of gesso and left it to dry thoroughly whilst he was at school. The stencils, colours and some of the stamps were chosen by him and I used acrylic paints for the colouring.  I had forgotten about the ticket stamp from the train set, but luckily he has a terrific memory.  He's very happy with it, bless him, and it is already in use.  Our special children find pleasure in the simplest of things.

I had another idea to collage some of his, extensive, collection of bus tickets and train tickets onto two more boxes for his train and bus magazines, but that produced a very intense, negative reaction, soo.... I think I shall shelve that idea, lol.

So, until next time................
.................eat cereal,
and thanks for popping by to say 'Hi' *hugs*
