A new addiction December 3, 2008
Oh, my. I’m going to spend far too much time and money on Ponoko.
CoolMomPicks describes it as
sort of like etsy meets Flick’r meets the Big Idea with Donny Deutsch, all with an underlying current of eco goodness.
My first favorite is this necklace – it’s absolutely gorgeous.

The Unveiling June 15, 2008
Remember the super awesome Father’s Day present I was arranging for Mark?
Here it is:
It’s a custom oil painting, created based on a digital picture of Mark and the kids. The artist (from Etsy, natch) did a fabulous job, and I had it framed locally last week. It’s just beautiful, and Mark really liked it.
Great idea for L April 11, 2008
I think Lauren might like this. The first challenge is a self-portrait, and I know she has several of those around. Of course, she might want to make a new portrait specifically for the challenge. That’ll be up to her, of course.
Via The Artful Parent:
Kidmade says that they are going to have regular creative “challenges” for children (this month’s is to create a self portrait). You can send them a photo of the completed challenge with a blurb written by the child (or dictated to you). Sounds like a fun and cooperative way for your children to share their artwork and other projects!
