I thought I would share a painting done with 5 of my grandkids. These are called pop pictures, balloons filled with paint suspended above the canvas and popped with a toothpick or something sharp. I then shook glitter over the wet paint. We did 4 in total this one I got to keep for my wall it looks great at night when the light is turned on. Thanks for looking Marian

It looks even better in person, sort of like a out of this world galaxy. When the hall lights hit the glitter it's magic.

Very creative! I would need to have a very large drop cloth, to be willing to try this one, I still do not think I would handle the fear of paint tracking through the house.... that or just do it outside- but still over a drop cloth. You were so brave doing these 4 paintings with the 5 grand kids. They will have great memories of this activity! It does look like it would have been fun for them.

It was great fun, we did it outside on the grass so it could be hosed away.

Great picture! Kids love to get messy, and I bet this paint project will be one of their favorite memories with you. Well done.

Each one is definitely a work of art. And what great memories each painting now carries. I'm glad you got to keep one yourself.

Thanks Pauline. The Reject Shop is usually the best priced. Remember water paints, you can always spray a coat of clear lacquer when dry if you want.
