What, like, chocolate cupcake doesn’t do this to you?
Dis is artzzzzzzzzz.
It was Kings’ birthday, and among the special things about this picture below are…
Happy Birthday, hub o’ mine.
a) How everyone is actually looking in the general direction of the camera, including the dog and the Miss.
b) The birthday candles that actually spell the word “awesome” are about to set fire to the exquisite Sift cupcakes.
c) Kings’ head appears to be floating above Rockstar’s arm
d) All of the above.
I’m an errant blogger because of a chapter of incidents that would’ve made a certain killjoy Murphy proud. Among them:
a) Our helper resigned by way of showing us an air ticket her fiancé/ soon to be husband had bought her – on SIA, no less
b) The Miss developed this weird rash that Kings was terrified might be chicken pox (but a previous trip to the ped says it’s some unexplained virus she picked up….. and touch wood never passes to anyone else, not even Rockstar… but makes her pretty cranky at night)… It might also be an allergic reaction to some foreign substance or chemical, which, come to think of it we experienced recently as well because……….
c) This happened to our floor.
Yes, that is an actual little fountain of water spouting out between the bathroom tiles – they had to shut off the water supply
…can you find the little foot in the picture? Rockstar lumbered in to use the bathroom, and fell into one of his deep narcoleptic morning sleeps, after… He slept thru the entire bathroom works…
…and doesn’t believe much of it really happened.
Which is one way to end with our latest Crayon Art; a nice way to recycle the kids’ old crayon sticks (though we first started with a kit)
(You can spell out the kids’ names with fridge magnets)
(and Kings brought this one to the office)
May i ask how did you make the crayon colours “leak” down (I’m not an art critic as you can guess haha)? 🙂 and what material was at the back? Interesting way to reuse children’s crayons! Thanks!
Cardboard, double sided tape, hairdryer 🙂 You may want to put the piece to be melted into a cardboard box though, cos when they’ve melted some get quite runny..
Initially I stuck the tape for the Miss to position the crayons but for later pieces she did everything herself, including deciding where to put the crayons – in a sun Ray shape etc..
Rockstar’s foot in the photo is so cute. He really can sleep through noises eh? The melted crayon pieces are very artistic – how did this idea come about?
I’m embarrassed to say there are actual craft kits for it – perfectly sized textured cardboard, double side tape and a cardboard frame to prop the piece up 😛 but obviously after the kit we’ve been going crazy with leftover crayons lying about..
