Cherry Blossom Art That Will Blow Your Mind

Well, it blew my mind, at any rate. ISN'T THIS COOL?? I love it. I love my kid. I love that I tried to second guess every creative choice she made, because I'm L'insane. (she was right, I was wrong.) She insisted that there be some blue sky. "But I want to see some of the black because it's so cool!" She told me to sit down and take a chill. She insisted that there be a sun in the corner. She insisted that there be cool grass at the bottom.

And she insisted that there be 'texture' and 'shadowing' because she learned about that in art class.

I got the black canvas (on sale yo! at the craft store!) and cut out the little cherry blossoms from some Japanese wrapping paper we had.

Isn't that all existential 'n stuff? I cut cherry blossom shapes from cherry blossom paper! And then Julia created her cherry blossom tree.

'Cuz it's cherry blossom time.

You may recall this paper from our Miss Happiness and Miss Flower post. 
What? Don't recall? I don't recall things from random blog posts either, even when it's in my own blog, which is why I repeat myself 90% of the time.

Here's how this objet d'art was created:

Still watching? Here's more. Because I know seeing dots of glue is MOST RIVETING.

This is all self explanatory yes?

You paint stuff and then you glue stuff. END OF TUTORIAL.

It's so great I don't know where to hang it! Happy Cherry Blossom time!
