So, I have been getting sicker and to distract myself (and Elizabeth) I decided to do an art project.

I have been wanting to finger paint with Elizabeth for a while. I knew how much fun she would have, but also that she is only two and it would be super messy (it did end in a bath).

I also wanted to do some pretty hand and feet art to put in some square frames I got at the thrift store ($2.99 each).

  I cleaned the new (used) frames, tore out the backing, removed the old prints, cleaned the glass, and spray painted the frames pink.

Then we got down to painting. Elizabeth was actually quite patient with pressing her hands and feet in the paint and on the paper. I had forgotten how much she hates to have icky things on her hands though. Finger painting with fingers was a no go.

She loves painting with the paint brush and managed to fill up a long piece of butcher paper with her art (and some of mine).

One of the cleaned brushes she used has even found a honored home on her night stand.

We both seem to love the finished product (Elizabeth keeps pointing out her hands and feet and asking to paint again).
