My youngest son has a huge heart for art. Although both of my boys love to draw, M has a passion for creating and trying new projects. One of his favorite recent creations can be seen in the photos. We came up with this one because his fabulous Art teacher had it pinned on Pinterest. All we needed were art pastels (not chalk), a plastic bin (big enough for paper), cardstock, water, a place to dry your paper, and a craft stick. Pastels sealing spray is suggested, but optional. If you get the opportunity, give it a try. A black silhouette of your favorite image is great addition to glue on after the paper is dry. Frame it for yourself or as a great gift! I hope you enjoy it as much as we did.

| Step 1: Fill your container with water. |
 |
| Step 2: Use a craft stick to shave off flakes of pastels in various colors |
 |
| Tip: Where it sits in the water is where it will show up on the paper |
 |
| Step 3: Place your paper into the water face down |
 |
| Step 4: Carefully remove your paper |
 |
| Step 5: Place it somewhere to dry (if you have empty space, shave off more pastels onto the blank spots) |
 |
Step 6: Once it dries, put a black silhouette image on it or enjoy as is.
*Spray it with pastel sealer if you desire.

On Another Note:
I've recently run out of photo storage on my blog. The decision to remove old photos currently in place or switch over to my website blog is being weighed at this time. I do not wish to purchase more "space." As a result, the next few blog postings may not have photos to accompany them. My plate is full with Christmas happenings, so I've resolved to make the decision after the holidays.
