Roller calotypes

All parents is very pleased by the success of their children.  I, certainly, I am very proud that since last year that I have, not one, but two readers. That said, his reading has caused me some problems.

Each season of advent, my daughters and I give chocolates to pass 24 nights trying things that interest us.
Last year, I found the Member only know for read and write our small circle of manufacturing, so I was able to make all the decisions without impunity. This year the girls have the added ability of being able to make sense of what was gobbletygook only under those beautiful photos on Pinterest.  Research will equals problems.

We made a list. I bought some supplies.  And we have to climb.  Or, more accurately, try to make bouncy balls at home, attempts to make a snowball that no leak, and that rather could be called genocide sedum terrariums. In the end, come to an important conclusion: the internet lies.  Lies.  All lies.

The challenge of House art compared with my work to make art with students is that you often try things for the first time with their children.  In the classroom, always prior attempts to your project.  There is nothing more horrible sitting in a room with 35 students from the school when you don't quite know if its paper-making project is going to work. Rather than experience anarchy or shame, you always pre test your project.

At home, basically you need to develop night and parents during the day (and have something special to hold that pace) to try the project before doing it with your children.  So, on the other hand, you and your children to be fearless explores in the jungle of the internet how-to-verse.  With this in mind, we have begun testing things and evaluate the success of these small projects.

Our first experiment was with roller callotypes.  I've seen people us sticky things / foam on rollers.  But I'm not willing to give up a rolling pin.  We were in search of other things that can be rolled.  We considered rolls of cardboard and lint roller.  But, in the end, we went with water bottles.  There definitely benefiting.  They are a great size for small hands.  And, if they are trying to get a uniform pattern, you can see through the bottle for his columns in a row.  The challenge with water bottles is that they are light, so it is necessary to apply pressure to make an impression even.

And, if you want to see this test in action...
