New Project!
I wanted to start working with Emily to help develop her artistic talents. Today, she looked at the dragon puppets and a couple of other things I had made way back in another life, and she said, “Daddy, it makes me sad that you don’t make stuff like this anymore.”
That was all it took to get me started again. Angela went and picked up a bunch of art/craft supplies (based on what she saw was in the puppets) and by this evening, Emily and I were sketching out a new cheetah puppet design.
A couple hours later, this is what we’ve got. She’ll paint it tomorrow while I’m at work, and we’ll work on getting it finished this week.
Despite the chaos of the broken van window in the midst of it all, it was still a pretty great day reconnecting with my creative self.
