Henny Penny Art

When I was recently in Savannah, Georgia, my daughter, grandson and I spent a morning at one of their favorite places. It is a little cafe where Mommies go with their little ones to have coffee and tea and muffins with other mommies. It is also an art studio that provides art supplies and craft projects for the little ones to do while Mommies sip and chat. It was delightful!

 The name of the place is Henny Penny, with the theme of the children's story of that name. There was some wonderful artworks on the wall that had been commissioned of a local artist on the theme.

 The art studio had a large store of craft supplies for daily projects as well as paints and play dough for children to use anytime.

A local artist was commissioned to make these absolutely delightful artworks on the Henny Penny theme. Savannah has a large artist community because the Savannah College of Art and Design is a prominent place of art education in the city.

 The techniques the artist used included layering of fabrics on  toile by stitching or glueing, liberal embellishments and shadow box backgrounds with precision cut framing to accent.

I just love to see such imaginative use of creative techniques to bring to life a simple story.
