2. How exciting!

I bet it turns out to be a real favorite! You did a fabulous job making each explosion a different shape and color. It’s wonderful. It looks like you put the colors down first then covered them with black which you scraped away to show the shapes.

3. Thank you! I considered scraping, but the first layer would have been

dulled down, so I did wax resist and masking fluid between layers one and two, then removed the masks and touched up with more color and bling. I plan on posting this one right at their eye level on our door. They won't be able to miss it. LOL

4. Well you did a great job!

As A kid I remember doing artwork where you fill a piece of paper with colors from crayons randomly then cover the whole thing with black crayon and scraping off shapes. It was great fun!

I love that you do this for your kids!

5. This is wonderful!

So lively and joyous. I bet your students will remember this their whole lives, and some of them will make art because of your influence.
