We had lots of excitement yesterday to celebrate Obama's inauguration. The girls held a bake sale, hoping to rake it in as the inauguration crowd moved through our neighborhood toward the metro station. It wasn't as successful as their lemonade stand this summer, but still an adventure. G and Au then headed downtown for the main event, all decked out in their winter gear to brave the elements. The rest of us watched from the cozy couch.
The animal of the moment for Au is the owl. This summer she has devoured Kathryn Lasky's fiction series The Guardians of Ga'hoole . Au selected the species for the project based on their characteristic sizes and profiles. I created silhouettes in Adobe Illustrator based on the photographs Au found at owlpages.com . Next we will print and frame them for her room.
