Eleanor, I love ALL of the projects you share, here and on Instagram - thank you so much for the inspiration! I have a question - what do you do with all the projects when they are completed? I'd love to do projects like the box dolls houses and dioramas with my daughter, but not sure I have the space to store them.

Hi Linda, Thank you so much for following along with all our arty creations. Storing larger pieces of art is tricky. My daughter usually plays with her creations for quite a while. Once she has lost interest, sometimes I store them in our cellar. Other times they get broken down and recycled, if possible, or they head to the rubbish bin. It’s not ideal but I can’t keep everything.

Thanks

Eleanor

Thanks so much for your reply! That makes sense - my daughter often recycles her projects herself actually, reusing parts for new creations, so she would probably be fine with getting rid of things as needed. I think it's more that I tend to want to cling on to things she's made, although I have gotten better at photographing things and then recycling them.

Hi Eleanor, I enjoy every time reading your 'Tales'. I get so much inspiration by seeing what you do with your kids. I have two boys one 4 (autistic) and another 2 (whom is not interested to much at the moment in working at the table) I discovered that my oldest boy is interested in colouring, he is so focused, and perfectionist so I decided to introduce slowly a bit of art work and he likes it. With your books recommendations I am learing and discovering this world of art for myself and for my kids. Thanks for your dedication. Greetings from Sardinia in Italy.

Hi Francys, Thanks so much for your message and for taking the time to read my creative tales, I’m so glad you have found inspiration in the art I share. How wonderful your son is enjoying colouring.

It’s so wonderful to be able to connect with creative families from all around the world in this way.

Thank you from Australia, Eleanor
