Miro paintings
In Kindergarten at my school we spend the whole year in Art looking at and talking about shapes and colors. We talk about mixing colors. We use all different kinds of materials. We play games with shapes and colors overlapping and peeking out. We look at the work of Abstract expressionists and try to imagine how they might have made the marks they did. This is one of my favorite projects ever and here are some examples of the amazing work these kids have created!

Dress design for Shabby Apple Dress Competition
Shabby Apple is a very cool dress company! Take a look at their designs!
http://www.shabbyapple.com/
They are hosting a competition for a spring dress design and this is the dress that I have come up with.
It is simple and comfortable. When I design clothing, I do the designing as I am stitching. I put this one together with fabrics that I had on hand. It is a combination of rejuvenated clothing and new yardage. I drew my colors from the central piece that was formerly known as a dowdy old turtleneck. I'll be wearing this dress to work tomorrow, but if it were springtime, and I had a "springier" green fabric available, I would use that for the sleeves and bottom swirl. I think I'd shorten the sleeves as well.
Here's the link back to the site:
