3 women. 3 hours. 1 mind. My mother, my younger sister, and I have never had good enough coordination for Father's Day until this year. Yesterday, we shot ideas back and forth, and it came out spontaneously, and efficiently. My mother suggested a poem--we use this method often. Since my dad's passion is flying planes, I decided to take B.O.B.'s song "Airplanes" [featuring Hayley Williams (and Eminem)] and quote the first line. I proposed my sister to write the poem, and she decided to letter it. She went ahead and designed the graphic look, too.
We had a 8" x 10" blank canvas lying around the house, so I took it, and started to gather materials:
-the canvas
-the quote
-cut-out plane icon from our Brazilian airline [GOL] magazine
-paperclip of a plane [gold version]
-acrylic paints [2 blues, 1 orange]
-water cup
-2 brushes
-puff paint [silvery blue, glittery gold]
-scissors, exacto blade
-elmer's glue
-silver star sew-on button
-silver Sharpie
-gold gel pen
-toothpick
-scribbled plan and poem full of heart
This is what we came up with:
This is us celebrating the night before with new French vodka-white wine-champagne. We easily drank half of the bottle, but my mother could finish the rest... Yes, Pink for Daddy~
Homemade food! Minus tortillas, guac, and salsa:
Smookies! Homemade cookies with Ghiradelli chocolate and slightly baked marshmellows:
We also celebrated my uncle's birthday [o6.15] with Banana-Cream Pie~
