Mommy is always teaching Maile fun, new art techniques. Maile must have picked up the concept of tracing somewhere recently. This weekend Mommy saw what Maile was trying to do and showed her how she could use the windows in our apartment as a light box to make tracing easier.
Maile hard at work on her lightbox tracing...
Well, that was all Maile needed – once she learned the concept, she really ran with it. Christine claims that she didn’t tell Maile to add to the picture at all – she just started tracing and then realized she didn’t have to do it all in order, she could mix it up and add the characters however many times she wanted and her own flourishes as well. Pretty cool!
