I’m glad that Bessie took the challenge and built her historic buildings for us to see.

Bravo! Do you share that characteristic head-tilt with your mother? Lovely.

Nice work! They look fantastic for just being printed on regular paper, too.

Don’t know yet, Reed; haven’t found anything that says she was an artist, or worked for the Children’s Friend, or anything definitive. Yet.

Very cool. Were you able to verify that President Hinckley’s sister was indeed the creator of those?

This is so cool. I’ll have to remember to have my kids do this for art next week (since I forgot today).

I printed them on regular paper, intending to “keep a copy.”

Thanks, Ardis, this is great fun. And it clearly illustrates why I don’t accomplish too much at home. I did locate those pictures, and scanned in a few more to save in the effort.
