Christmas Card Story



Hopefully people have received their Christmas cards by now. I'm sure you're wondering how we created our beautiful work of art. I have a craft projector that came in handy. We printed off some clipart and projected an image onto my belly in a dark room. Jon traced the image with eyeliner and then painted the picture with non-toxic paints. He even had to blend colors to create just the right shades of brown. It's a good thing I'm not ticklish! We had fun with it. Jon's vest is a woman's vest from Goodwill that I decorated with iron-ons. Even the back of it is covered with beauty.
Unfortunately, the official card was cropped kind of funny, but you can see here that we can take pictures without chopping off heads. My belly button is part of Rudolph's mouth if you're curious.
