I've been working on my minibook slowly. A couple minutes here - a couple minutes there. Tonight I took a good half hour and got out all my old Thickers, rub-ons and other assorted alphas to finish a few pages.
Here's two of them:
September 2nd - I tried out a couple of things I was learning in Alissa Burke's online class on surface design. Very free form - I quickly sketched a couple of circles and just started carving. I also learned to watch how deep you carve, as the material will split in two.
Yes, I resorted to bribery to get my kids to quickly finish up their summer homework. They got to pick out Legos at the Lego store - but couldn't open them up or keep them until they were done.
Thomas - worked like a charm. He immediately went to work on the last of his math packet.
Rachel - mixed success. She was interested and finished one book paper quickly, then complained the rest of the day and got nothing done - except for several tantrums. However, she was sick at the time (unbeknownst to us). The Legos did their trick on Wednesday, when she was still home from school but feeling better.
