We wanted to prepare a small gift of appreciation for this meaningful day, as we are really grateful for Ms Yu Kai and her team for their great guidance to Mei Mei. Having seen the painting works that Mei Mei has done at school, I was inspired to use that as the theme of the greeting card.
Marking the 1st try with Mei Mei in painting, I was determined to document the whole process of this inaugural experience. I was visualizing how endearing it will be painting with Mei Mei and capturing the steps of preparation in Daddy’s picture perfect DSLR cam.
Here’s what Mummy was envisioning for the pixs: Mei Mei sharing a laugh with Mummy while painting happily away on the card. Mei Mei will patiently try out the different palettes of color and looking amazed with the output of her artistry talents. Finally the blissful scene will be complete with a grin to grin pose with the finished masterpiece.
In reality, that didn’t really happen :(
Mei Mei refused to sit still, and more interested in painting her whole hands than the canvass. We spent most of the time trying to stop her from planting her colored hands on the table and sofa. From what I thought was just a simple art and craft session turns out to almost a vandalizing disaster. I’m bewildered by how her teachers manage to do that (as I was told that she totally loved it whenever there are painting lessons!!). Instead of the original plan to design 3 cards, we decided to throw the white flag at the end of the 1st card.
Focusing hard when she first started..
And started to paint the table than the card.
Somehow figure out that her fat little fingers will be more fun than using the brush
Finally added the finishing touch with her Hello Kitty stickers
We will definitely try painting again, but probably the next time, it might be more suitable to move it to the corridor I guess?
