young + talented

my daugher, ayva is a talented artist/designer.  she is inquisitive, has great ideas and is able (with a little help) to execute most of them.  she is 10!

recent project:  duck tape accessories. 
it is all the rage... duck tape everything.  she started out making wallets, purses, earrings, covering her shoes.  you name it. 

for this project::  we got a call from cathy carter, the coordinator of the high school's fashion club.  she wanted ayva to make an outfit for the upcoming fashion show.  (in 2 days)  artist under pressure!! perfect!!  one trip to walmart, a basket of duck tape, a cutting mat, scissors and an old dress.  ayva and i discussed color pallete and layout.  i wanted to make sure her idea was solid and she stuck to what was in her head.  that is all i did for her. next, she cut, cut, cut, measured + stuck the tape to the dress foundation.  she made a matching handbag and feathers to toss to the crowd as well.  sweet. 

i am so proud!  at age 10... ayva sunshine blows me away with her talent and attention to detail. wow!
