Last year when Elizabeth was in reception class, I photographed all of her Junk models that she brought home from school. I wanted to keep a record of all her hard work before having to put them back in the recycling!
I have just made them into a little photo book and love how it turned out. I think its a nice way to remember all her makes without taking up any space, plus she loves looking through it.
Now I just need to write on what they all are - I don't want to forget that they're actually a telescope pirate phone, mummy in a windmill or a panda bear on wheels!
Oh my goodness Caroline, that's beautiful! What a wonderful idea, I wish I'd thought of it a few years ago when Max was obsessed with junk modelling...unfortunately quite a few creations have been kept until the they started to fall apart, and then consigned to the bin, without having been recorded in all their glory. Elizabeth will love that book forever, especially because, like all your photos, the quality of the images is outstanding. Gorgeous! x
ReplyDeleteBeautiful idea Caroline!!! I like so much!!!! :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a gorgeous idea Caroline ... I love it ... my littles only made a few junk models but created what seems like thousands of paintings and drawings ... I think your idea might work for them too ... thanks for the inspiration ... Bee xx
ReplyDeleteThat is such a lovely and clever idea! I have kept (mostly) everything 's made so far and already have a box full of stuff, even though he's never been much into junk modelling.. I don't like throwing stuff away but I can't keep everything either, a photo book is just the perfect way to record those creations. Love it!
ReplyDeleteWish if thought of this! I might have to go up on the loft and retrieve those creations at some point. It would free up the space. I'm sure your daughter will love looking at the book in years to come too.
ReplyDeleteGreat idea Caroline, our junk models are long gone, should of thought of that, perfect, think you will set of a trend here! x

Such a great idea! We take photos of most things that come home too, but I never thought to have a book made. I love it.
