Michael started school Monday and he's been doing really well so far. He had a little crying jag this morning, but other than that, he was very well-behaved. Today Christina's teacher and her 2 assistants came by on a home visit. That went pretty well...considering this is technically the 4th home visit with this teacher (2 for when Michael was w/her and now 2 for Christina) we're pretty old hat with this.
I finally started on my ATC (Artist Trading Cards) project. ATC's are basically miniature works of art that are made to fit on a piece of material (cardboard, canvas, whatever) that's about the size of a baseball card (about 2.5 in.x2.5 in or 6cmx9cm.). You can use paint, collage, fabric, whatever and the cards are usually traded with other artists instead of sold. I'd had this pack of blank ATC-sized cards for almost forever, but I could never find the time to actually work on this. Plus, I'm still getting used to doing my art on a small scale (I'm used to 16x20 canvases!)
Anyway, I made 6 little ATCs. 2 have quotes, one is a collage, and the other 3 are mini-paintings. And I had a lot of fun making 'em.
But now I have the migraine from hell and I'm exhausted. I think I'll turn in early tonight.
