Behind the scenes of workshop prep: experimenting with bubble painting techniques with my co-facilitator, embracing the mess, and finding faces, hearts and bunnies emerge as the artwork dries. 🫧🎨✨

So incredibly proud of the Arts ReImagined Grade 4/5 class, who stepped into the roles of engineers, artists, designers, and project managers to bring this inspiring project to life. Their creativity, collaboration, and perseverance transformed an idea into a meaningful story with an important message.

Narrative: The World Behind the Darkness

Beyond smoggy clouds lay a town turned brown, where muddy rivers, lonely people, and drooping trees fed a sneaky villain’s gloom.

High above, a shy but brave Hero arrived in a patchwork pod, believing that change begins when we notice, wonder, try, and work together.

The Hero turned litter into gardens and green grass, inspiring children to laugh, plant, and rebuild their town.

When the villain unleashed a fierce pollution storm, the Hero united everyone to protect the gardens, redirect the chaos, and never give up.

As sunlight returned, rainbows filled the sky, rivers sparkled, and kindness bloomed everywhere—proving that one small kind act, done together, can change the future.

What an incredible example of imagination, teamwork, problem-solving, and hope. 🌎✨💚 LearningTogether

Today, the seniors at Silvera explored the vibrant world of Kandinsky as inspiration for creating their own beautiful sun catchers. Through color, shape, and imagination, they embraced creative exploration and crafted unique masterpieces that shine as brightly as their creativity. ☀️🎨✨

In my Sparkle Era ✨ and today’s thrift shop treasure is officially my glimmer win of the week.

Now, where should it live—a cape or a bag? 🤔

Also, finally made it to and it’s a dream for crafters. The fact that it’s all second-hand makes it even better. 💖♻️

Sneak-A-Peak! 👀

Glow-Wing begins with something ordinary and a bit of magic.
A wooden clothespin.
A glue dot or two.
Vinyl wings infused with glow-in-the-dark luminous material.
It feels playful. Nostalgic. Simple.
And then comes the gentle squeeze.
The wings lift.
The creature flutters.
And in dim light, the wings glow softly, tracing the motion you created.

Mark your calendar and save the date(s) - Sept 24, 25 & 26. I am thrilled to announce to be part of the magic again this year!
