Art With a Friend & Link Love

A few months ago I Heart Faces had a fun photo walk in Dallas. After getting very hot and sweaty, my friend Kerri and I took a trip over to the nice and cool Dallas Museum of Art. We ended up having the best time in the kids area! I loved their materials bar and craft area.

They had bins full scrap materials along with scissors and hole punches for kids to craft away. What I thought was interesting was there was no glue to craft with… only tape.

Well, it wasn’t JUST for kids.

We made self portraits.

Mine looks just like me right?

I hope this inspires you to get crafty with a friend (or child). You don’t need fancy supplies, or even glue for that matter, to have fun! If you visit the DMA, look for our portraits on the wall among the kid’s art!
