this was fun

this was soooo fun to do....this is a bib i made for my grand daughter, annie, when she was a baby....she is 10 now.....her sister, piper (3 now) also wore it and informed me the other day that she was to big for it now.....and this is how this piece of art came about...... i took a online class from sue pellitier http://www.suepelletierlaughpaint.com, some time ago and decided to do this with the bib using sue's  technique......... fun fun fun
