Here is a crafty project that Isaiah and I did while Phoenix was taking his nap yesterday. We both tore up a bunch of pieces of colored tissue paper then laid them down on a sheet of wax paper. We covered it with another layer of wax paper then very quickly whisked a hot iron over the top. I totally cheated and downloaded images of these animals from the internet. I blew them up to the size I wanted then printed them out. I placed the animal print on top of a piece of construction paper and cut out both layers with an Exacto knife. Isaiah then cut the wax paper "stained glass" out to size and glued it to the back. Ta da! This is so easy to do, and you get beautiful results. We did a stained glass window for almost all of the animals mentioned in How Rabbit Tricked Otter. This will be a good reference for totem animals as well.
Neat idea. That fox is great.

Oh aren't they gorgeous; and using natural light to enhance art is always a good thing! I love the possum and reindeer too. (Btw, I borrowed "How Rabbit Tricked Otter" just the other day and loved it)
