The Three Graces

 "The Three Graces".  

If you are familiar with the story the graces they are the daughters of Zeus- Beauty, Joy and Creativity.  Zeus was known to change into different forms to trick people.  I extrapolated that his daughters could form shift as well.

Re-Imagined Art

I have been holding weekly art sessions this summer for my son and several of his friends.  At our final meeting this week I gave out copies of the last woodblock print I made and asked each person to remake the image however they wanted to with miscellaneous supplies I had to personalize the image.  I think the results are great!  When we were done each person then had a finished piece of art they could take home and hang on their wall.
