Last Camp Day -- ART DAY!

Let's get going!


We are making a doll using Korie's drawing as a pattern.
(Click on picture to get better view.)


We got the head stuffed. I'm sewing on the machine (to make it go fast enoough for a six year old) and Korie is stuffing.


Now we have all body parts stuffed but not sewn together yet. Korie has selected all the fabrics, buttons, yarn, etc.


Monitoring and gluing - both important tasks. LOL.


Remember the heart? After we got the body sewn together - all but the head, Korie re-evaluated and said, "She needs a heart." I told her no one would see it -- she said in 'build-a-bear' fashion, "I don't care. She has to have a heart." So in it went - stuffed right in where the heart goes!

When we took Korie to meet her Mom to go home, we showed the doll to her and to her sister, Carly. both were very impressed with it. Carly said in wide-eyed amazement, "Wow! It *does* look exactly like Korie's drawings of girls."



WHAT DO YOU THINK?

I just did this with my son! And, I'm going to be teaching a parent/child class doing this too! Isn't it fun! LOVE the doll!

That is just the coolest thing ever! I miss those days of the drawings like that, but to make a three dimensional representation is so much more interesting! And those little curls on the ends of the hair get me every time! (My daughter still does that!)
Enjoy the day! Erin
