I challenged myself about a month ago to make as many homemade gifts as I could for my children this year. We have a tradition in our little family to do 3 Gifts of Christmas. Gift of Meaning, Gift of Usefulness and the Gift of Wonder. The stocking is not included and can be filled with as many fun things that will fit :) That is where my homemade challenge falls into place here. I have made several stocking stuffers and my children's gift of meaning for my 3 kids and I'll be sharing those with you over the next little bit. Second homemade item this year are these Ribbon Streamers. I first saw streamers on etsy, and thought how fun and easy they would be to make. I bought very large D Rings from Joann's They also have spools of ribbon for 50 cents each. You simply tie your ribbon onto the rings in the length that you like. That is it. For around $5 I was able to make 4 streamers and I even have ribbon left over to make more. I am so excited to see my girls dancing around, waving these ribbon streamers as they giggle!

Day 37 50 DIY Days of Christmas: Clever and Silly Wrap Ideas!
Few would argue if we said that pets are an endless source of joy and happiness in our lives. Therefore, there is no surprise people are trying to immortalize them in every way possible. This Aussie painter, Vanessa Stockard, found the best way to do that by sneaking her three adorable cats, Kevin The Kittin, his mom Fluff Ferstenberg and the head of the adorable fluff family, Satan, into her paintings. Stockard’s process includes pieces developed without visual reference but rather from memory. These narratives incorporate domestic pets such as cats and dogs, juxtaposing the anthropomorphic nature of these animals are given by society, she infuses the personification of virtue and vice into the everyday canine and feline status quo. Cats with their fluffy comical exteriors yet instinctual urge to kill and a tendency to be cruel to their prey, dogs with their providence of happiness and friendship flung back to Churchill’s metaphor for depression. Despite this not-so -cheerful description of her works, Stockard manages to make her art somehow quirky and very enjoyable!

In my recent travels for vintage children's picture books, I scored on a set of Childcraft, The How and Why Library for the mere sum of $5.00. These books are full of great illustrations by many different artists. I have quite a few scans for you from Volume 1 that I hope you will enjoy. Can I just say how much I like these books? They are fun to look at and full of ideas and inspiration. Don't forget to click on the pics for a bigger view. Artist: Charles Harper Oh Charley, how we do love thee, let us count the ways... Artist: Gordon Laite Artist: Gordon Laite I like all the details in these insect illustrations. Artist: Mary Horton What a great rendering of happiness! Artist: Fred Womack Who doesn't like polka dot elephants? Artist: Mary Horton Great composition by this artist! Artist: Russell Jackson I'm really impressed by the dimensional paper art by Russell Jackson. Coming up will be a post on Jackson with more examples of his work. Artist: Vernon McKissack This name is new to me, but I feel like I've seen work by this artist before, anyone familar with McKissack? Artist: William Steig Another masterful composition! Artist: Garth Williams Garth Williams draws a great mouse, like the hand lettering and the way the pages are laid out. Artist: Susan Perl I believe Susan Perl did a lot of work for McCall's Magazine in the 60's/70's. I'm partial to pen and ink drawings. Artist: Roger Duvoisin Isn't this a great illustration? Artists: Alice and Martin Provensen Alice and Martin Provensen were a great team and this is just one of the many reasons why their work is well regarded. Artist: Elizabeth Orton Jones I like illustrations like these where only part of it is painted and the rest is left as line work, it's very striking. Artist: Gail E. Haley I have a couple books by the talented Gail Haley and will do a post on her in the future. Artist: Mary Miller Salem This picture takes me back to when I was a kid - nice vantage point and composition. Artist: Leonard Weisgard Another great illustration by the impeccable Leonard Weisgard, simple and striking. Artist: Mary Hauge I like the simple color scheme and tree trunk rendering in this illustration. I'm not familar with this artist, but I'd like to see more of her work.
