At the end of the art class, Corsage and I sat in at Bubbles' little presentation of her artwork of the day. Circles was the theme- artists who drew circles, i.e Giotto di Bondone, Wassily Kandinsky, and among others, a rather odd choice of Damien Hirst. But Hirst is celebrated also for his spin and spot paintings. Well, I don't like his spot paintings. They're as giddy as Yayoi Kusama's dots.
Most art studios now structure programmes that really occupy the children's minds and made fun work out of crafting/drawing/painting. Bubbles is currently in a programme suitable for her age group where the teachers took them through the theme of the day along various stations of craft and materials. Each student was left to choose their preferred colors and designs, then guided to place them however they deem fit on the art paper. On the art paper, they could paint the background in whichever colors, then had to design four squares to fill up the space. All very cool.
Had tea at the cafe downstairs. Leaned it against the wine shelf thinking it would stay dry and safe, and easy to retrieve when we went home. Bubbles and I were busy chatting about cheese and scones. Mmm. Hours later, at 11pm, with dread, I realized, I didn't take the artwork. It was left at the cafe. Dunno why I was so distracted! I LEFT BUBBLES' PRECIOUS CREATION AT A CAFE.
Had to wait a whole night to call the cafe in the morning. It was nail-biting, and turned out disappointing. Apparently no one saw or found anything. The art studio neither. Well, the art studio's name was on it. Hopefully it might find its way back to the art studio for Corsage to pick up next week. Or perhaps someone picked it up because he/she liked it as much as I do.
I hope Bubbles isn't horribly upset over the lost artwork and decided that she hated Aunty Imp for forgetting about it. Although Corsage said Bubbles doesn't quite miss the artwork, but I feel so bad. I loved art classes so much that all finished pieces were hoarded a long while before selecting which to throw away. I'd go ballistic if a piece was entrusted to someone and she lost it. Haizzz. Dunno how I can make it up to the little girl. Such a doofus! Aunty Imp IS SUPER FAIL.

But you do have many photos of it! Actually... what I do these days is keep the 'photos of' and junk the 'actual' after a while!
Luckily I took some photos! Haizzzz. Altho I wonder where to hang/display/store the 50 or 40 artworks a year.
Auntie Imp is not Super Fail.
Auntie Imp passes all the time.
Just one time, is forgivable, ya?
Good thing you have the photos.
Just print it up if needed, and give to Bubbles for her keep! I am sure she will come up with even better ones at her next art session!
tuti: thanks for trying to make me feel better. but unfortunately for myself, I demand more or less zero margin for error. and unfortunately, this one is totally unjustifiable. To me, 'i forgot' is a lame excuse. :(
But, but, Mummy and Bubbles forgot too! And we should hold more of the responsibility! Seriously though, I think she was happy enough to have company for that short time, so it does not matter! She still hasn't mentioned anything about her artwork :)
Corsage: :( , :)
