Art (& squirt) therapy for all

Loved sharing all the art supplies I have been accumulating in the past few weeks, with the kids. They immediately jumped in - and for a moment everything felt alright. 

Aadi made some abstract art. Diya - well in Diya style - has about five different projects going in parallel - everything from die cutting and embossing paper to large format mixed media artwork inspired by Monet’s waterlillies. Oh and did I mention the glass dip pens that “charge” ink by turning counterclockwise in the ink-pot - this makes the spiral groves on the head pull ink from the well - that then slowly releases as you write. Mind bending technology from the medieval times. None of us could resist it! Calligraphy samples to follow. 

P.S.: later, Aadi finished his art work. Diya still has all of them going in parallel, then "took a break" from art and decided to squirt everyone with a water gun instead. that broke the assembly and sent everyone scurrying for cover - human and pets alike. We love you so so much, Diya (Nannnu) Ganguli.
