Here's my shot for Hey Harriet's Shadow Shot Sunday. A unique way of distributing BrisStyle flyers don't you think?
I discovered the creative gene runs strong in my family after stumbling across my 6 year old deeply absorbed in creativity on my art studio floor. With a pile of perfectly formed, colourful BrisStyle Bomber Jets beside him.
His eye to paper folding focus is comparable to Superman's ability to emit heat energy from his eyes. Although my 6 year must have his tongue glued to the outside right corner of his mouth to keep his focus beam connection (I guess superheroes and creatives have their differences).
How can I be mad at a boy for using the freedom of his imagination, even at the cost of my time that morning photocopying and trimming all those flyers.
Anyway, if you can't quite read all the information on those BiDM flyers between all the intricate folds, this sums it up...
BrisStyle Indie Designers Market is on Saturday the 5th December at 9am - 4pm. St Augustine's Church Hall, Racecourse Road, Hamilton. So if you're in town, drop in and say 'hi!' or 'Merry Christmas!' would be nice. The BiDM will be the hottest destination for everything handmade this Christmas.
Check out Hey Harriet's place for more awesome shadow shots. Not saying that mine's at all awesome. I was too impatient to wait until late afternoon for the loooong aeroplane shadows.
I love them! Kids are such fun and so creative! These are great shadow shots!
Have a great weekend -- all of you!

Hey Amanda, what a brilliant little 6 year old you have there. Our 6 year old is coming today with his parents and 3 younger sisters in tow, so maybe I'll give them the last remaining flyers to get their creative juices flowing!

Oh I'm a goose! Just left a comment before on the post above without realising this one was here. Found it now via Mr Linky :) The heat is warping my brain. I like the paper planes. Maybe your boy could also make some origami cranes out of the flyers?

Ahhh...yes, the paper airplane, what fun was had back in the day, throwing paper jets from my second floor bedroom window...and always getting yelled at for the dangerous maneuvers...hehe...fighter pilots always take risks!

that's a great shadow shot and I'm all in favour of allowing children to be creative even if their creativity can sometimes seem to disconvenience us...
