See through framed easel art

Labels: , , , , ,



I recently found these awesome frames for 99 cents each at IKEA. I happened to see them on my way to the check out and decided to get four of them. I figured they would be perfect for some art!! I thought about having them paint pictures and then placing the pictures in a frames , but I decided to just have them paint the clear plastic photo protector sheets that came in the frame. They turned out super cute!!  I plan on getting more of these frames in the near future! They look nice in the window as a sun catcher too! Graham painted three of them and Mackenna painted one. Parker was not in a painting mood and wanted to watch Annie. Parker is a big fan of Annie. He watches the old one with Tim Curry and Carol Burnett, not the remake.  Graham loves Annie too but not as much as Parker. ;)



Look at him all happy with his smiley face!

He turned the smiley face into a flower



Telling me all about the colors and the new smiley face


Mackenna started with a sun.

They sort of look like sesame street monsters.  ;)

Mackenna's painting.

By the way.....

    This is a great project and I like that the frames are 99 cents. It was a clever idea to paint the plastic that came with them and it has a nice stained glass effect. Please add this post to Artsy Play Wednesday on Capri + 3.
