this mixed media picture for them. I got inspired by a giraffe I saw that one of my fav artists did…Elizabeth St.Hilare. I took one of her classes in Penn Yan last year. All of the papers where painted on my gelli plate. I included a childs dictionary definition of gi-raffe and the prayer…All things bright and beautiful. All creatures great and small. All things wise and wonderful. The Lord God made rhem all. By C.F.Alexander.
I found two wonderful childrens story books, Giraffes Can’t Dance and A Giraffe and a Half by Shel Silverstien to present with it.
