i don’t know if i should have been an elementary school art teacher…
but i am a serious appreciator of art by kids.
whether it’s made by a family member
like my brilliant *bonus* daughter
{that’s a step~daughter to those who aren’t a *bonus* mom}
or niece & nephew…
{their art made into stickers!! love it!}
or a friend’s delightfully clever child.
i love the uncensored-ness; the folk-arty feel;
the fresh expression of their creativity.
one of my favorite places to see kid art is at a county fair.
here’s a collection of some of my recent faves
that i snapped at the kentucky state fair 2011 in louisville…
i’m always happy to help fight the meanies* when i can
{*powers-that-be who take away creativity/arts funding for children}
by donating pieces for artistic endeavors.
and how lovely it was when i received a request recently
by the teacher of the lucky art students at
Woodland Elementary in Atlanta, Georgia
for a donation of the magazine letters i sell in my shoppe.
{can you believe she only receives $300 to buy art supplies for 850+ students for the year!!??}
every little bit helps. ..so, why don’t you help your local young artists!
i can’t wait to see what they do with the letters.

Thanks Stacy~ Love it!
