Coming together..though .not quite figured out

Sometimes a heart is like that -- kind of, but not quite, figured out. Figured out is most fun, and hopefully will get that way.

Panda Bear Leopard Frog

Marionette -- kind of

Know I am missing some mechanics here of getting all the parts to move as desired, but prototype for learning. 

Hedgehog night

                     

One sister thinks she is not artfully inclined, so the other sister gave her materials to make a simple craft. Rocks and paint. So, we had family "Make a Hedgehog" night. Sat around the table outside and created this bunch before dinner. Brother made a beetle, but since he is our little brother, we allowed it :).   His daughters did the "assignment." 

Quick Short

Facilitated by Exploratorium, so easy to execute because all the equipment was set for quick play.

So while likely many made similar assemblage, nice to be reminded of relatively easy and effective    play of quick shots for story telling.

Flowers so the doll has something pretty to look at above her

Saw this one walk.

What is her story?

Took picture of this doll I saw in museum on a recent trip. I don't  know her story, as description was not in a language I knew how to read. She/he doesn't look like a cuddly doll.  Have assignment to make a interpretation of something we see on an adventure, first by making a maquette. I think the dark/light contrast of the eyes and mouth quite something, so believe I will focus there.  This one is in Play-Doh, because had some around from the kids...still fun to play with those colors and texture.

Played with clay a few days later.
