...So here it is, the jigsaw for beginners.
Theme: the farm.
Materials: soft wood board, acrylics, permanent marker(both non-toxic, knowing Leo he'll surelly taste the pieces before doing anything else with them - absolutely agree!), plastic nobs found unexpectedly in a beads shop that turned to be perfect for the job of handlers (didn't want to use tacks due to the pin, you should never underestimate the strenght of a child and it might happen that he would pull them out - ouch!).
Style: didn't want to, but finally decided to be realistic as it is suppoused to be a didactic toy- "how does the piggy do? -oink, oink! -and how does the little duck do? -quack, quack! " ...and so on and so on. His mother agreed and so I feel relieved, but nevertheless I cannot wait for him to grow up so I can develop a much freer style.
No need to say that I don't quite like the result as it doesn't look like mine at all, and the colours, argh, those horrid pastel colours!!! Want to go back to my beloved watercolours! I think next it will be a book, then. Can use watercolours and free freaky style as long as I plastify the pages, thee hee ;-)
Qué raro recuerdo que hace años cuando hablaba contigo entendía lo que decías, pero cuando me pongo a leer en este blog no entiendo nada, será que lo tienes todo en inglés... jajajajaja
ReplyDeletePues sí, muy raro: mi madre me decía "ay, hija, no entiendo nada de lo que dices, si es que no vocalizas!" Total, ni ella entonces ni tú ahora os perdéis gran cosa, es por eso que me hice ilustradora ;-)
