Three dimensional mixed media picture kit containing everything you need to create a fantastic picture. Kit contains step-by-step instructions, paints, 3 brushes, paint mixing tray, plastic sheet for painting and gluing on, all the unpainted characters and parts needed, and the eyelets and string to hang it with. All you need to supply is the water to wash the brush.

These are very popular for birthdays, Christmas, and school holidays, and are suitable for ages 5 to 95. A well co-ordinated four year old could probably manage with a little help. Anyone who can paint a picture in a colouring-in book could do one of these pictures. On average takes about 6 to eight hours to make up, but this will depend on the person.

These picture kits are individually hand crafted in Hawkes Bay. The frames are made of pine, with a thin MDF backing. Each picture measures approx 33cm x 23cm.

My aim is to get children away from computer games and TV for a while, and back to being creative. Making one of these pictures shows children that they do not just have to paint a flat picture, and they can bring in other materials to produce different effects.
