Child's Art

I'm a big fan of child artists. It's the purest form of art.  Unrefined, and most importantly undefined.  Innocent and pure.  My daughter is very much into art.  She is also very entrepreneurial, a good combination!  She wanted to do a craft show with me, so we came up with this idea.  I bought her watercolor paper and had her paint a bunch of Christmas cards.  She made about 40 of them, but I only let her take the very bestest ones.  Meaning they couldn't have smudges and paint blotches all over them.  They had to be her best work and not sloppy.  Other than that, I don't dare criticize her work!  We packaged them up with envelopes and set out to sell some cards at my last show.  She sold about half a dozen or so, and some were even to people besides grandma ;) Lots of people made very positive comments about them and the idea.  I like to think of it as a learning experience for her.  She was very happy with the profit! :)  Here are a couple of the ones we brought back home. We are using these leftovers and the ones with imperfections as our family Christmas cards this year.
