Animal Wednesday / Frogs

One of the 7 designs I made for the school project.
It was fun and the kids enjoyed it. I was surprised by their results.
I will show you in a post later because I am still waiting for some pictures others took.

The theme was "What comes out of an egg"?
Well frogs do.
All the egg mandala's have a kind of spring feeling.
Soon we will be surrounded by new life. 
In my garden no frogs are there to be seen yet.
I know when I see them that spring has arrived.
I can't wait........

Happy Animal Wednesday!

  8. There is something so spiritual and inspiring to me about the life cycle of animals. I paint a lot of insects.. but I've never attempted a frog. I think you've inspired me again! ♥

  17. This is awesome! I bet Felix will be glowing when you are showing your art and all the kids get to color your designs. Have you thought of doing a coloring book? I bet it would be a big hit!
