Today, I created my DT project for
Ike's World Challenge Blog. While the challenges are
ANYTHING GOES, there is (almost) always an
OPTIONAL theme, and this fortnight the challenge is
Nature.
I was stumped for inspiration on the optional theme of nature until I was browsing
the store at Ike's Art and found these fun animal silhouettes. The set is called African Animal Silhouettes. I thought they would make perfect "pages" for a child's picture book.
Each letter represents an animal. Unfortunately, I can't finish my picture book for my newest grandson, Jonny. I have to wait until Ike draws more animals for me to use!
I did manage to use six of the eight animal silhouettes in the set. But that's okay, my grandson is only 18 months old, so I have time. His second birthday is in August.
After choosing my background papers, I printed and then laminated each image, making sure to round the corners so my little man won't cut himself on the sharp corners.
I then hole-punched the corner of each so that I can string them all on a large jump ring. I'll tie on colorful fibers and ribbons as I create more pages. It has to be large as there are 26 letters in the alphabet!! LOL
For now, my little Fox is guarding the pages I was able to finish. Until I get more images to play with, why don't you join the newest challenge at
Ike's World Challenge Blog for your chance to win free digis from the store?? I can't wait to see what you create!
