You would never guess it, but being raised in an artistic household my daughter, Sarah Elizabeth, just does some really darn cool things.
She is 13, and the perfect age to embrace the modern world of Internet instruction. She sees something amazingly cool on www.youtube.com and she tries it.
Like the time she walked into the room and asked me if she could cut her own hair. No big deal right? But then she walks back into the room some time later with her hair cut! What did she do? She had seen a tutorial on YouTube on how to razor your own hair! She had dug through my sewing supplies until she found my razors and taken one. She had used one of the most dangerous tools that I own in my arsenal of artistic supplies.
The amazing part? IT LOOKED GREAT!

So her newest artistic endeavor has been to do this amazing thing to her finger nails. They looked swirled. Crazy cool.
Yes, she makes a mess. Yes, she runs around the house with tape on her fingers. Ahhh, tape... But the results are amazing.
And I am left with the satisfaction of knowing she can do research, she can follow directions, and she has the ability to express herself.
I just need to make sure I pay attention to my sharp objects....
