Papers by Ebony

On Friday when I picked Ebony up for her weekly sleepover she was excited and keen to show me these papers that she had done at school.
I asked if it was a class activity that the teacher had shown them and she replied that it wasn't but something that she had shown several of the other children how to do.
It seems that she had spotted tissues with Texta pens and then added water until the colours spread out into these patterns.
Evidently she had folded them up to bring them home still wet hence the marks across the centre.
I love the colours that she has used.





And the second one-------





And another achievement for her is that she had her Martial Arts Grading this morning and she is now a Purple belt.
We were so proud of her as she works very hard and is becoming quite stong in her movements.
In fourteen months she has passed 4 levels but things will get harder from now on.
Well done Ebony on both of your achievements.

Now I wonder where she gets that artistic streak from. :)
Well done to Ebony, I know how hard it gets, my daughter got to a certain level (I forget which one) before admitting defeat - but that was several years ago now.

Hi!
I know its been such a long, long time since I've visited your fabulous blog and left a comment! Please forgive me. I've so enjoyed browsing through all your posts....all the way back to Ebony's birthday. Many congratulations to her on that and especially her new artwork and new karate level. The wildflower quilt looks like it is going to be absolutely stunning. I loved all of it!

I love the idea of Ebony teaching other children how to make these papers. Your influence is rubbing off on her :)
And well done on her Martial Arts achievements too!
