Let's See What Develops...

Cool project for a sunny day.


        You need Mr. Sunshine for this art project!


      Purchase sun sensitive paper.  In a *very* shady area place arrange your items (we used bits of nature- flowers, blades of grass, seed pods, etc.).  It's very sensitive to light so work quickly.


      Then lay your collage in the sun for 30 seconds- 1 minute.  Through trial and error you will get the look *you* desire.
 You will want to make more than 1- they are lovely!


 Place your paper in water (combined with a bit of lemon juice) for 30 seconds- 1 min.
          See the picture emerging?


               Remove your masterpiece from the water 
                  and let dry.  


                        Bring some friends along.  
       The more the merrier!  


       The works of art are pretty enough to frame!

                  
                 Thanks again for inviting us, Angela!:)

    Hi Lori
    This looks a fun activity. I would have loved to do this too. I think we would need to leave it longer than 30 seconds though over here! I imagine it would make cute writing paper when it's dry.
