I was shopping with my mom at Target during the holidays and we saw a little paper mache snowman and she thought it was really cute. I told her that I could make one that was cuter that the one she saw. I got home and immediately started looking for materials I could use to make this festive stack of snow balls. I have been taught to use resources wisely and I mustered up materials from around the house. My niece sat watching wondering what I was doing but eager to help. I told her we had to work fast to ensure that it was ready for my mom to unwrap the next day.
Twas the night before Christmas and all through the house there were plastic bags and tissue paper strung all through the house. Two artists stand working without time on their side, impatiently waiting as each layer dried. Cutting, snipping, and gluing each square in place, creating art out of materials most people would waste. After we stand back and look at our creation with glee, we quickly run out and clip limbs from the tree. We put in his arms which was the finishing touch, knowing my mom would love it so much!
The top picture is the first one that I made (for my mom) and the next picture is one that I made for a friend.
