Reflections Fine Arts Competition

Today's Pictures of the Day are not spectacular shots, but they are cute, nonetheless. This year, I decided to do a class "quilt" for the Reflections competition. I have never done a class project for Reflections, but we were already learning about self esteem and self respect, accepting yourself the way you are, and such. We had already started a little art project where they draw a picture of themself and write, "I like being me because . . . ," and then I saw that the Reflections theme for this year was "Diversity Means . . ." and so I thought that we could easily turn it into a class project. Well, look how wonderfully it turned out, thanks to . . . moi. I have been working like crazy on this bad boy and I had it all put together then it was too big to go through the laminator, even if it was folded in half. So I had to cut it apart again, and then I decided to put it together like a tied quilt, rather than just retaping it. I think it turned out so cute.
