We were inspired by an old back issue of 3191 Quarterly to draw with Sharpies on cereal box cardboard. We tried drawing the flowers in our tabletop bouquet. It was fun. Rainer didn't want to do it, but he did end up painting something that I drew. It's fun to use Sharpies on cardboard!
These are lovely. Your watercolors show up so nicely too; I would not have expected that. My son does not like to draw or do art. It's so nice that you let yours choose a way to participate that suited him. That inspires me to offer mine more options. Thanks!
Thanks for visiting my blog. I'm wife to Ken, stepmom to Ben, and mom to Jacob and Faith, Dieter and Rainer. I like the domestic scene, salty/sweet combos, recipe reviews, the smell of rosemary, babies, the feeling of having exercised, hand clapping rhymes, books, Friday Night Lights, teacups, and laundry that has been washed, dried, folded and put away.
My Faerie MB blog explores what to wear when you are 40+. But everyone is welcome, of course!

I have been saving my cereal boxes and now I know why! Can't wait to try this tomorrow. Thanks for the idea :)
I wish I could get my hands on back issues of the Quarterly. That project looks fun. Thank you for the inspiration.
