DIY Thanksgiving Banner

November 18, 2016 by Barbara Rucci Leave a Comment

One week until my favorite holiday of the year! I love Thanksgiving (and this DIY Thanksgiving Banner). It’s so much more relaxing than that December holiday. Four days of being with family is just what I need in the middle of this hectic book tour. Last year, I woke up very early on Thanksgiving morning…

Every year, we are lucky enough to see the Macy’s parade from my dad’s apartment. It is a complete and utter luxury that we try not to take for granted. A slice of Americana that is so festive and unique. Our favorite part by far is watching the marching bands. Top bands from all over…

Turkey Craft from Cardboard

October 19, 2018 by Barbara Rucci 12 Comments

Kids make the turkey craft from cardboard at a birthday party. Great art idea for Thanksgiving, too!

When my 6-year old art student asked me if I could come to her birthday party and make art with her friends, I practically screamed YES! I love doing Art Bar Parties because it’s very different than a class in that the birthday child really feels like he or she is the leader, and takes…

Sun Prints with Kids

August 28, 2018 by Barbara Rucci 12 Comments

Making sun prints with kids is easy! Also called cyanotypes, this style of printmaking can result in beautiful, framable works of art.
