piper's class auction project

I helped with Piper's class project 

for The Montessori School's

annual big auction fundraiser which took

place last eve.

I had a vision and Ashley, Piper's teacher

let me go with it.

 I was inspired by this piece of art 

I found on pinterest.

I loved the circles, neon colors

+

simplicity.

 Since the children were studying spring flowers,

I thought we could make stamps of their drawings + print 

using neon colors.

Ashley had children draw still life drawings 

of pansies, hyacinths, daffodils & tulips.

 Jessica helped carve the children's drawings in rubber to make stamps.

She's an expert!

Hyacinth!

 Each child printed on a 

5x5 inch piece of off white thick paper

one each

I brought finished prints to 

Gregg at Rockwell Gallery in Wilton

to frame in a grid.

Gregg is an artist.  His artwork is usually grid-style

so he knew exactly what I envisioned.

He also helped me pick out

a distressed whitish, greyish frame

+ a grey mat to mount prints on.

 The final piece

went to the highest bidder last eve for

$3250!

Thank you 

to Ashley for the opportunity to help

to Jessica for helping with carving + printing with children

to Gregg at Rockwell Gallery in Wilton

for the perfect framing job!
