Recently we decided to make our very own family portraits. I'm not talking about the kind that you create by using a nice camera! Instead, we designed and made our own pictures. Ok it may not be exactly as we look but I would say the kids and Steve did a great job and we had lots of fun doing it. I started by using a large roll of butcher paper that I rolled out on our kitchen floor. One by one Steve, I, and the kids traced each other for a somewhat similar body outline. The kids really loved doing this and it was lots of fun to see the results after we each got up!
With our outlines a little distorted from how we really look, it left us to be a little more creative as we then took oil pastels and filled in our body with fun clothing and of course a face and hair. And there we had them...life-size portraits that we hung on our walls.
Here is a re-cap of the experience! Hope you enjoy! Have fun creating your own family portraits and creating memories.
