Crazy for Art at the Magna Arts Festival

On August 27 the girls and I headed to the first Magna Arts Festival. It was a very windy day, but the girls and I decided to walk to the festival. Wes was sick. He had just gotten back from his grandfather's out of state funeral and had finally been struck with the cold that was going around our house. Poor guy.

The festival was small, but fun. We stopped at the Utah Art Museum truck and the girls placed a tag saying what they would do with the giant ball of twine.

The girls also took some time to make their own chalk drawings.



Violet watched on and got a cranky before finally falling asleep in the stroller.







Adelle's chalk art drawing had lots of purple and a blue smiley face.




Lydia drew a bright landscape.



The girls enjoyed this booth by Cheryl Velasquez the Paper Artist! She showed the girls how to make handmade paper.



We bought a couple of journals from her. The pages from one of the journals were coming loose so she brought me a brand new one this week along with some extra paper and cards! Love it! Here is Cheryl's blog http://papelespeciallyforyou.blogspot.com/
The girls loved buying art from Manelle Oliphant. I have followed her blog for awhile. You can see her work here http://manelleoliphant.blogspot.com/
Lydia also purchased some really cute, cherry earrings. We had a fun time even though we were pretty hot and tired when we came home. I am looking forward to next year though and hope we can all make it!
