Nadia and I worked on a card before I left. I drew a dragon…

She then drew a flaming tongue and cut it out…DSCF8091

Made two slits and slid the tongue in…DSCF8092

This way it slides in and out…DSCF8093

DSCF8094Here’s the final card…A special dragon card forΒ  a very special father πŸ™‚

Happy father’s day to all the wonderful dads out there!

Space travel

Rockets – that’s what Nadia is into these days. So we decided to make a large space travel poster for Nayeem’s new office. Nadia drew and cut out spaceships…DSCF8035

She drew little circles using coins…DSCF8036

Then cut those out and glued them onto the rockets.DSCF8037

Lot of precision work here πŸ™‚DSCF8038

Then she pained the sky blue…DSCF8043

And stuck all the different rockets there. Added some smoke furls etc.DSCF8045

Then she used coins to draw planets.DSCF8046

And colored them…DSCF8047

A Cowboy and his horse

Nadia has been taking horseback riding lessons and a lot of fascination with horses now…Here I drew a cowboy and a horse for her.DSCF7861

She then colored and cut them out…DSCF7862I showed her how to fold the paper so the horse could stand…ideally thicker paper would have worked best.DSCF7871Here’s the cowboy seated on the horse.DSCF7872

She added mountains and a cactus plant…DSCF7874

There he goes!DSCF7877

Have a great week.
