Artist At Work

Posted on August 26, 2006May 27, 2010 by Charlotte

Mummy’s ‘Laundry Room’ is actually my ‘Art Room’ and some AMAZING creations are made there. Remember, ‘It’s fun to get messy AND it’s fun to get clean!’.

Essential ingredients to create good artwork (according to Charli!):
Lots and lots of paint
Brushes
Paper
Music
Flowers
Tons of enthusiasm and willingness to get messy, very, very messy!

And when my art is complete, I hang it to dry and then adorn the walls with my colourful creations (and save some for wrapping paper too!).
