I'm just back from Savannah having celebrated my parents' 60th Anniversary. To commemorate this auspicious event, I organized an art project. The results will be turned into a wall hanging,
I really enjoy doing fiber art projects with my 11-year-old niece, Ivy and 6-year-old niece and nephew, Poppy and Kai. We usually get together in August but this summer they are moving to a new home. The anniversary get-together seemed like a great time to get in a bit of art.

We spent one day making blocks from adhesive craft foam as well as moldable foam blocks which you heat to emboss textures.

The next day we printed outside in the garage.

It was great fun. Even Poppy's feet got printed!
If you are interested in learning the specifics of this project, I will be featuring a how-to in the July issue of
