found art

little pieces of beauty found in random places. both made by my ever creative daughter.
while taking pictures of my jack-o-lantern on the back porch yesterday, i spotted these crayon drawings on the floor. love the way they resisted the rain. the rest of the wood is wet, hence the darker color.
this beauty was found in the playroom (pretty darn close to actual color here) . we have these large cedar blocks (some of them stump size) that the children use for all sorts of big building. the surface of this one is at least 9" x 12". this gorgeous work was discovered behind the easel which had been set up with chalk recently. we use these (we have sidewalk chalk for outside). pricey but amazing. we have had the same set of chalk for at least 3 years. sure, they are in pieces now, but they still work beautifully. i keep them put away unless they are in use. they took to the wood so amazingly. we are definitely going to revisit that idea!
