I wanted to make something special for my little son, after I had painted the butterfly for his little sister I thought to make something for him now that would be different and not just another painting. He loves boats and airplanes and cars, so I decided to make him a boat to hang in his room as well. I try to find different ways of improvising a boat, looked at different materials but found nothing helpful!, one morning while in between prayer in between dreaming I had the idea to make the whole thing out of self made paper, so I did. Everything is made of paper, old advertisements and egg cartons... The boat comes out of the picture, you can not really see it in this picture. I created some sort of elevation with old kitchen tissue carton rolls. The colors are simple, although I use different paints. Because it has a very thick surface I had to use watercolors to color the paper while still wet, once it was almost dry I used acrylic to cover just the surface, so it has two tones of the same color when you look at it closer, hehehe I am sorry you can not really see this details from far. It was challenging but I was encouraged to imagine my boy's smile once it was done, hard work done just for him!
