Chrissyreadit 🥳 I‘m so excited!!!! 2y

BookwormAHN Sounds like fun 😺 2y

Charityann Oh, I love these!! Signing up now.😄 2y

Texreader Oooh how fun! 2y

Avanders Um. Ok. 😁🎨I hope I can make it! 2y

BookBabe Oh, fun! 😃🙌🏻 2y

SamanthaMarie Ooo I love this!! I would be a very novice painter, what brand of paints do people use or the type that's right for this kind of painting? 2y

ShelleyBooksie Cool!! 2y

Catsandbooks @SamanthaMarie All levels are welcome! No specific brand but you'll want acrylic paint for this project. Most big box stores like Walmart and Target should have a basic beginner set of paints. Otherwise any craft store will have them too. You'll need at least primary colors plus black and white. But if you want to get more than that you can. 2y

julesG Acrylic paint sounds great. Can't join the craft night, though. I'm 6 hours ahead of you. 😐 2y

Catsandbooks @Alora 2y

Catsandbooks @julesG oh drats! We might be able to record the event. If able I will let you know! 2y

Here are my Alice in Wonderland art pieces. The top Cheshire Cat is a watercolor done by my sister that I received for my birthday one year. The left is actually done in marker by a dear friend. This was one of the last pieces of art she did before she lost the use of her hands to ELS. The bottom Cheshire Cat is a rock I painted. 🤷‍♀️

Megabooks These are beautiful! 3y

sharread I don't have one thing from Alice in Wonderland. Bummer I loved the story and movie. 😆 3y

Update: There have been better ideas 🤣

Note: The paint is non-toxic and baby safe. Apparently what it isn't is washable 🤦‍♀️

Traci1 Bright side: it isn't poop....I may speak from experience. A bad bad bad experience. 3y

FantasyChick @Hestapleton He was... at least when the scrubbing came 😂😂 @StillLookingForCarmenSanDiego He had so much fun! At the end of the day, the cleanup matters less than the enjoyment 😊 @Traci1 I've had the experience.....more than once when the others were little. That's an experience I could have lived forever without 3y

This weekend I picked up paint and canvases because I have felt like painting. This is what not knowing what you want to paint looks like. It‘s not finished. I‘m waiting for it to dry before I add anything else to it, but considering I haven‘t painted for fun in years it‘s not bad. Now hopefully I can get in the mood to read.

brilliantglow I absolutely love these colours 4y

tracey38 I like it! And also love the colors. 4y

britt_brooke Looks fun! 7y

Cinfhen Wow! You guys did an awesome job! My painting looked like a kindergartener did it🙄 7y

robinb I've been to something similar, and they're great fun! Even though I'm not artistically inclined, I end up with something halfway decent. 😂 BTW, those are gorgeous! ❤️ 7y
