Hi Carly, I really laughed when I saw this bright pink pig!! He is really cute! Why is it called "clay rattles"? Is there something inside to make it rattle? "Hi" to your Mom...............Jean ~There are actual clay beads inside with paper towels around them and when they put them in the kiln, the paper burned off and they rattle when you shake them! :) I think he turned out "CUTE" thanks for the kind words, my mom says "Hi" back! <3 ya! Carly~

Sometime maybe you will draw a peacock! We have peacocks on our property and they are very friendly. I talk to them everyday and can get within a couple feet of them. We also have wild turkeys.

JEAN ~~Thanks! I love peacocks too! Our friends Jim & Jenny have them by their house too, but they are NOISY birds! We colored the Pelican in honor of Pelican Pete, the world's largest one in Pelican Rapids. I'll tell my mom about the nice hardanger comments! Love, Carly~~

How AWESOME is THAT!! Jean F ~~This is ME! my self-portrait and we used colored pencils~ The forhead mark is my birthmark (Angel's kiss) ~ Thanks for the kind words! ~Carly :)

Dear Carly, I knew you were working on your "self portrait" and you have captured so many of your beautiful features. I think the eyes are the best! your coloring is so good, even to your favorite color pink on your top. Your angel kiss is a very proud spot! You have had a good year in art and we are so proud of you. Love, Grandma and Grandpa ~Thank you so much! ~Love, Carly:)

Carly, What a wonderful piece of artwork you have created!! I love all the colors and all the types of different looking materials...it is AWESOME... Love You, Connie and Don -- from Connie and Don

Hi Carly, Wow, your art has gone wild!!! But still I see the hearts in your picture. Again, your use of color is so fun. Right now, the purples and pinks are so popular and you use them so very well. The Yellows seem to accent the other colors. Tell me more about your interpretation of this piece of art. I love you and miss you. Grandma Lund -- from Grandma

Carly, AWESOME artwork...I love it...it is so "Arizonanian Art, Desert, etc...Excellent job...keep up the good work. Love You, Connie and Don ~~Thanks! I love to hear from you! ~~Love Carly :) -- from Connie and Don

Carly, this one is so nice - - you do love color! As I look at it I can see fold marks, but I do not know how you got the colors so matched. Did you color before or after the design was done? Keep up the good work. Love, Grandma ~~ Thanks for the nice words, I folded into 8 triangles then made design on 1 triangle, then used something to transfer the image to all sides. Love you~~Carly :) -- from Grandma

Carly, this newest art is so colorful!!! We sometimes say we feel like a square peg in a round hole! This picture makes the squares and the rounds work together!! It all works together to make a great piece of art! Love, Grandma ~ I know.... I make paper with pulp first.... those are the circles. Then I got real paper. Ms. Dial showed us at first. That's the teacher.~ Love, Carly:) -- from Grandma Lund

Hi Carly, This one is GREAT!! How did you do this? It looks like it is different pieces of paper put together like a puzzle. We saw Morgan in November and I taught her how to cut with her first scissors!! She has a ways to catch up to what you are doing but she is only 3 years old! "Hi" to your Mommy and keep up the good work!! Jean ~I made paper first, then I got real paper and Ms. Dial (Teacher) did combines like, orange with blue, red with pink or white, purple with yellow, and white, brown, and black were all free colors! It was cool!~ Love, Carly:) -- from Jean

Thanks :) My Mom says "Hi" too, Love, Carly~ -- from Jean Frothinger
