Car Mat



I finished the Car mat and mailed it off to Jude last week. I took pictures of it, but I received this video through my sister's blog. So go there too. Some of the video is in Japanese, but you get the main point and you can see what it looks like. I wasn't too pleased with some of my drawings but others turned out really well. The zoo for instance turned out better than I thought it would, but I copied animal crackers that I had in the pantry and turned out pretty decent....in an animal cookie sort of way....

It was really hard to take good pictures though cause it was so large. There was no place in my house to spread it out on to get a good picture. Did you know that a shower curtain is the same size as a king size bed? In a jam for waterproof sheet? just through down a shower liner.... just kidding, though I may do it someday if in a jam....

If I were to do it again though, I would splurge and buy the two dollar version cause the thicker plastic would probably lay flatter and be more durable and for that little amount of money it is worth it.

For the more daring, here is another version of the video but it is all in Japanese...

I love it and can't wait to see your version. Now I may try to do one for my 2 year old, Jack. I am TERRIBLE at even the simplest drawing, but since it is not an expensive project I don't feel so pressured. What a great idea!
