Our Artist

Kilynn is a very creative girl. She is an artist who works in many mediums. The following are just a few examples that happened to be in my most recent pictures that I just uploaded.

As Kilynn waited for everyone to sit down to dinner, our salad took on new life.


Last year we read a book from the library about making houses for fairies out of things found in nature. Ever since then, she builds fairy houses or fairy gardens wherever we go.

Kilynn has always loved to collect flowers, leaves, rocks and petals while on our walks. These treasures are usually passed on to me to hold for her, but lately my hands have been quite full with a baby. Therefore, I started having her carry a basket on our walks to put her things in. When we get home, she likes to dump them out and create something with them. She will often use her treasures to work on her fairy houses, but a couple days ago she made a doll by using one of those balls that grow on Oak Trees for the head, moss for the hair and rose petals for the dress. She laid it out how she wanted it and then directed me on hot gluing it together. Yesterday she decided to decorate our apple tree with Rose petals, Petunias, Cosmos, Dandelions, and Morning Glory. It was beautiful!

That's the other thing she is always doing. Kilynn loves to decorate. Recently she "decorated" the bathroom for me and was very proud of herself. She dumped out everything in two drawers and carefully arranged the contense artfully throughout the bathroom. Headbands hung from the doorknob, the faucets and the light switch. The toilet seat was beautifully lined with flower and bow hairclips, and even the floor was adorned in creatively arranged shampoo bottles and toothpaste tubes. I'm sorry I don't have a picture, but unfortunately it had to be quickly undecorated when visitors showed up at the house so that the bathroom could be functional.

I love this girl and I love how quick she is to notice and appreciate beauty in simple things around her.

She IS super creative!! I love the salad- it made me laugh. Wouldn't it be interesting to get into her head and see how she thinks and sees things? I have never heard of a kid decorating like that. For one thing, she must have a lot of stamina to see it through to the end because that sounds like a huge project. For another thing, I think you have a TAG kid on your hands because that it's the sort of things they do!

I love her creativity. I would have never thought to make something out of salad.
