Thumb people painting

I'm calling this the thumb people paiting. But promise me this : You wont laugh at my awkward looking thumb people? If you promise then keep reading.

Now, I do NOT claim to be an artist. While I would love to be one, there is not one artistic gene in my body. Its just not my thing. I sort of have to be content with looking at other peoples art and enjoying it. When I saw this painting in some peoples house, I thought for sure this was something I could do. It didn't require too much. I can draw weird little faces okay (or so I thought.) I had a canvas so I was set.

 All in all, its actually quite cute. I am hoping everyone else I draw turns out much better. Here's how you do this: you need a canvas, paint and a thin sharpie. Simply paint your thumbs (and a few other fingers) and make prints all over. Try to fill as much up as possible. I am noticing now that some one my people are sitting on on soon to be people. Then when its dry, start drawing funny little people.

I think I used a 1/2 inch canvas.

I went with a bunch of bright colors, but I think this would be really sweet with more monochromatic colors. Like violet. Or pink. or aqua!

Let me know if you make this!
