Peanuts are not just for elephants

A couple of months ago it was decided to take the space that was otherwise Miss A's playroom and turn it into a home art studio for all to enjoy but just as much to create a space for me to be able to focus more on fine art painting and sculpting (now that I am officially retired from photography) without feeling and actually being disconnected and separate from Miss A and D while I do it.

In the process of making this home art studio happen we have accumulated quite a bit of packing materials (from ordering various and sundry items for art studio inventory like clay, more workable paints for Miss A, etc.) and some of that includes biodegradable packing pieces that are AWESOME for things like building and sculpting with people just Miss A's developmental and artistic level.

Basically the way that you use them is this: get them out, moisten a sponge or wash cloth or paper towel that you can use to wet the end of one of the pieces, build/stack/arrange the pieces end to end, once they dry (which happens reasonably quickly) you have a three dimensional objet d'art that you can marvel at and wear if you like!

Can you tell what Miss A made? Here's some more clues...

And after she made it and tried it on, she decided it could use some color so she used some markers to do just that but I don't have pictures of that finished piece.
