Creative Clio

It's no secret that Clio is a prolific budding artist.  Lately, she's gotten really creative about inventing projects.
There have been lots and lots of output in the "paper doll" category.

I think she made these guys at school.



At home, she supersized the idea.  Meet "Crismas."  Crismas has red jeweled eyes and sparkly buttons on her dress.  (Her arms are propped behind the chair to keep her upright -- or oh-so-laid-back, depending on how you look at it.)  Unfortunatelu, Crismas lost her shoes to the vacuum cleaner.


These little ghosts got stuffed with cotton in the middle to make them fat and puffy.


She made this family of kings from that foam paper.


All of these projects were of her invention and created of her initiative (and, truthfully, with very little parental oversight.)  I am constantly amazed by the little treasures we find all over the house.

Amy, love those! I've often thought of making that a project with Clio, especially considering my crazy stash of fabric.
