art glass

nataya joined the holiday program held by her school for this whole week. on the first day (monday) they all went to crayon's craft & co, where they got some art and craft experience: making art glass. since the participants were all kids, the glass were substitute with plastic :D i heard that she enjoyed it very well, did the coloring on the plastic jar nicely. good nataya, that's my girl.. :))

she continued doing it at home on a different plastic jar.



the stickers as patterns. the kids filled the outline shape with color.

the pens used for coloring.

and the result, not bad, eh? (though it must've been assisted very much)

hat & crown

inspired by dita (via the urban mama's article), i decided to entertain nataya in making one. but it didn't went well because i was too lazy to create something fancy for decorating the hat. i just use the newspaper itself for making the flower :D


see, it doesn't look as beautiful as dita's, huh? ;)


nataya didn't like the first hat very much, thus she asked me to make her a crown. yes, a crown. while i was cutting the newspaper into a crown shape, i wondered where she got the idea of crowns, dresses and princesses. i myself never played any princesses' movies nor read her any princesses' books. hmmm..

after she got the crown, she asked me to make her a dress (!!) which was impossible :P so i just change her t-shirt and pants into a batik dress :D


but the crown itself looks like a padangnese crown, doesn't it? :D 


then i remember that i have seen a tutorial of making crowns in the book that i bought before. and after a couple of days, tadaa.. this crown looks better than the newspaper one, isn't it?


anyway, nataya is having varicela aka chicken-pox since last Friday. she's getting better now. but we still have to wait until the rashes are ALL clear, then she could go back to school. phew. she's been absent for a week and i guess it will be one week to go.. be patient, dear ;)
