Basically we made a crayon rub over a texture template. I drew the garishly huge eyes and Kaia did the cute little mouth and nose. Here's the result up close:

That is soooo cool! I bet kaia had a blast. Oh, and you should take it to the MOMA, they should be lucky to display your work there. It's awesome!

Definitely could be in the MOMA. Kaia's so lucky to have such a creative mom. She should start calling you moma mama
