Claudia & Mean Janine: The Baby-Sitters Club Graphic Novel #4 by Raina Telgemeier 5 out of 5 stars This was probably my favorite of the graphic novels so far, even though it is one of the saddest books in the series. I'm just saying it now: if they do Claudia & The Sad Goodbye, I don't know if I'll be able to read it! Okay, so the story starts off in the last week of school. Claudia has a big math test and Janine is trying to tutor her (which is obviously not working, because she doesn't know her basic times table!?) They get in an argument and Janine storms off; Mimi comes in and helps Claudia. Claudia doesn't know what she or her family would do without Mimi. At the BSC meeting the next day, Stacey has a chic new haircut and Pete Black held her hand, Kristy thinks boys are gross and still doesn't like Dawn, and they come up with the idea for a summer playgroup as soon as school lets out. Because they can't spend even one week just chilling and watching Price is Right or whatever. Claudia and Janine continue to fight and cause Mimi to have a stroke. (Not really, but that's what Claudia thinks.) It's really scary and sad and well-done for younger people. The playgroup goes well: Andrew makes Prissy Jenny Prezzioso wear her art smock because he's a monster, the kids give Louie the dog a bath, they make lots of money. Kristy & Dawn spend some time together alone and come to a friendly understanding of sorts. Mimi comes home and starts her recuperation, learning words again and how to use her motor skills. Jamie Newton loves his new little sister, Lucy, but gets upset when she gets all the attention and almost pours the punch bowl over her head. Claudia realizes she and Janine are acting like Jamie. They finally talk and both realize they're jealous of the other. They make up and Janine even admits that she hides candy in her room too. The book ends towards the end of summer and the girls realizing they've been the official Baby-Sitters Club for one year. Now let's talk about the artwork. Overall, very good and in line with the descriptions. Claudia's room looks a lot better in this one. Plenty of art supplies and stuff on the walls, snacks hidden away, and we even get to see inside her closet! Her fashion was very on-point throughout the book too. We see Jeff in this one and Dawn's house and the old spooky barn. And more of the neighborhood kids in the playgroup. Andrew and Karen are so cute. Also, there's apparently at least one other black family in Stoneybrook (at least in Raina's world), before the Ramsey's show up, because their kid is at the playgroup. He never gets named though. I wonder if they'll talk about that when Jessi finally shows up, if she does. After the end of the book, Raina talks us through how the graphic novel is formed and it was really interesting to read. I can't wait to read the next one!

What??? Tutorials! Tutorials are everywhere! Artists in Blogland has a monthly "Techniques on Tuesday" tutorial going on. The challenge over at Inspiration Avenue this week is to share a tutorial. Every Tuesday, Kristin Dudish has been doing a tutorial try-out and inviting others to try it too and link up. Carolyn Dube's Gelli Plate class is up and running with lots of great tutorials. So, I decided to do one as well. I love books! As you know, lately I've been loving altering old books. Recently I got a this book: and decided to try the simplest one - the X Book! This was so much fun, and easy to make. The instructions in Alisa's book are very clear and easy to follow, although I do recommend folding and cutting a blank sheet of paper before doing your project. To give you a sense of how user-friendly the book is, here is how Alisa portrays the folding and instructions: Best of all, the book is on sale right now at Amazon! You can see more on Alisa Golden's website and blog. (Here's another You Tube tutorial on the folding process, if you need some more guidance, and a "hands free" one with a slightly different take.) Of course, I had to add my own spin to it -- adding in journaling cards, inclusions and tags... Thank you for visiting! I read and treasure every comment and will answer any questions as quickly as I can. Linking to Paint Party Friday, Art Journal Everyday at Balzer Designs, and Creative Everyday. Hope to get around to visiting everyone this weekend!
Chez moi, dans le Périgord, les enfants sont appelés affectueusement des "droles" de préférence en faisant un peu rouler le "R"... On peut donc entendre sans aucun problème des phrases du type "je vais chercher des choco (comprendre chocolatines) pour les droles" et ça ne choque personne, qu'on se le dise !!! Voici donc une activité à faire avec des droles, pour les droles mais chez nous tout le monde a pris plaisir à participer jusqu'au grand père. L'idée est de réaliser une ville en carton qui pourra servir, selon la taille choisie de circuit de voiture, de village pour playmobiles ou barbies... Nous avons réalisé celui-ci durant un été où les droles (oui je le fais exprès :) ) avaient une vilaine varicelle = pas de soleil mais ça fonctionne super bien pour patienter avant Noël quand il fait froid pour jouer dehors. Il faut un grand carton, des stylos, de la colle, des petits accessoires, de la végétations, des cailloux...et un peu d'imagination Sur la table du salon pendant la réalisation Vous pouvez utiliser des boites en carton comme base pour faire des bâtiments ; des rouleaux de papier pour faire des tunnels ou château d'eau. Le papier d'alu peut servir pour imiter l'eau du ruisseau.... Voilà, on a bien rigolé, tout le monde était fier de ses réalisations et nous étions très contents d'avoir réussi à faire une mosquée ce qui en matière d'architecture sur carton était tout une aventure... Ca promet des mercredis/samedis sympa non ?? On veut voir le résultat ! M.

Welcome! "Attitude" original Collage Art Doll by inkspired http://www.inkspired.etsy.com/ Today we will be exploring Nursery Rhymes, specifically Rub-A-Dub-Dub Three Men in a Tub! I haven't done a nursery rhyme in a while, and they are such fun! from the book "Rub A Dub" as told by Kin Eagler, illustrated by Rob Gilbert The oldest versions that have been found (printed) have a different wording. See what you think! nursery books. Hey! rub-a-dub, ho! rub-a-dub, three maids in a tub, And who do you think were there? The butcher, the baker, the candlestick-maker, And all of them gone to the fair. This version was printed in Massachusetts around 1825. The origins of this earliest version seem to be from a sideshow attraction at local fairs. The sideshow featured three maids in a tub who were presumably unclothed. It's possible that this rhyme made fun of the men who enjoyed visiting them! The Muppets' version! The first recorded version is in a Christmas Box published in London in 1798. By around 1830 the reference to maids was being removed from the versions printed in In 1842 James Orchard Halliwell collected this version: Rub a dub dub, Three men in a tub, And who do you think they be? The butcher, the baker, The candlestick maker. Turn them out, knaves all three. by Graham McKean Here is yet ANOTHER version, that is currently used today: Rub-a-dub-dub, Three men in a tub, And how do you think they got there? The butcher, the baker, The candlestick-maker, They all jumped out of a rotten potato, 'Twas enough to make a man stare. flickriver.com This nursery rhyme has been used by many different ad agencies to advertise, whether it is a product or a political theme or a change of view: Christian version, by the Christian Mother Goose, http://www.marjorieainsboroughdecker.com/ Can't you just imagine John Cleese as the Baker? :0) Who do you think the two other men should be? Let me know! Sometimes I think I am only writing to myself. You can easily leave a message on the blogspot to let me know someone is out there. embroidery design http://www.d-zignsinc.com/ Here's a fun version we might all enjoy learning: http://www.anorak-magazine.co.uk/ Here is a lovely vintage embroidery piece from 1952 - sheet music from http://www.freehandmusic.com/ http://www.nursery-rhymes.org/ That one is so silly, as 3 grown and dressed men are in the same tub! I do like the rubber ducky on the floor... Here is another funny one: Men in a tub by Roberta Baird at http://www.picturedashbook.com/ Of course, those men are actually in a teacup. It's fun to imagine what the waves would do however! Clever painting. vintage illustration, c.1907 Are you familiar with William Wegman? It all started with his dog, Fannie. She seemed to like having her picture taken. It has definitely snowballed since then! His photos now decorate entire books - I have "Cinderdogfella" that's not quite right, but if you look up 'William Wegman' you will find lists of his wonderful and whimsical books. Here is his version of 3 dogs men in a tub: by William Wegman and his dogs Here's a jolly tub of three: I found this happy illustration at http://www.bundanadia.blogspot.com/ I believe she is Indian? Someone tell me! These three fellows look like they better start bailing water, and throwing overboard anything extra! from http://www.rankopedia.com/ Those three look a little shifty, don't you agree? a wonderful egg I found at http://www.garland-holmes.com/ This next to last image is from the fantastic Scott Gustafson. His work is just wonderful! Please go to his website and see more of his paintings: http://www.scottgustafson.com/ Well, I think it is time to leave these three men to their fate. My last illustration is by Sundara Fawn: http://www.fineartamerica.com/ It's been totally fun for me to do a nursery rhyme again! No, I haven't forgotten the Meaning of Flowers, and the Flowers of the Month for August. I have been researching the Gladiolus, one of 2 flowers of the month for August. See you tomorrow!
