Happy Birthday Eric Carle!

"One Sunday morning the warm sun came up and -pop!- out of the egg came a tiny and very hungry caterpillar."
-The Very Hungry Caterpillar

Hello! Let's have a swap in honor of Eric Carle's birthday, June 25. I love reading his books!

For this swap you are invited to make one piece of art using Mr. Carle's process. The subject is up to you, a single animal, a sun, a spring scene, anything really! Let your creative juices flow and just have fun with paint and scissors and glue! Browse his books for inspiration and read a few while you're at it. ;) I would suggest the minimum size be 5x7 and max be what your budget allows. ;)

Below are links to his website where he shows his process.

• How I paint my tissue papers
• How I create my pictures
• Eric Carle’s Tips on How to Work with Wet Tissue Papers
• What Kind of Tissue Paper Does Eric Carle Use?
• Eric Carle's Blog

• The Official Eric Carle Web Site

  I hope you'll join me and have FUN! :)
