The detailing amazes me! Your bear looks so soft---I want to touch him! Great job with form and proportions. Love, Grandma

What a cute bear!! Great job, Shelby. He looks so cozy with his hat and scarf.
- Kelly (Mother) on December 11, 2024
Oh,Shel.... So glad you brought this home. It is even better to see the real piece! So interesting to look at how the segments intertwine. Thanks for sharing.
- Grandma Cathy on November 25, 2024
Shelby-so fun!! Even more fun in person!!
- Kelly (Mother) on November 20, 2024
There is so much to look at in this picture! All of the little details make this so much fun to look at. Great use of color and texture, Shelby.

Your birch trees remind me of Lake 14. They are my favorite tree! My favorite part of your picture is the little bird. He gives your drawing so much personality!
- Grandma Cathy on November 20, 2024
Thanks for explaining your technique this morning, Shelby. This is incredible, you know why I LOVE red cardinals. Thanks for making me smile.
- Mom on November 20, 2024
This looks even better in person on our fridge. What a great fall picture, Shelshel.
- Kelly (Mother) on October 4, 2024
Ohhh! I do get to see the inside! Love all of the detail.
- Grandma Cathy(fan) on May 29, 2024
I want to open the doors and peek inside! Hope I can do so when I visit!
- Grandma Cathy(fan) on May 29, 2024
Love the swirls and curls design on your hands and the fact that your fingers are not spread on a couple of them, adds interest.
- Grandma Cathy(fan) on May 29, 2024
I feel like this artwork is giving me a bunch of high fives. I give this artwork a high five, too!
- Kelly (Mother) on May 21, 2024
Shelby, your hanok is so cool! Love that it can be opened so that I can see both the inside and outside. The picture on the back wall is my favorite part. Hanoks are often built with mountains behind them so I know the family living in your hanok would love the picture too. Be sure to bring your replica home so that I can see it when I visit. Love Grandma
- Grandma Cathy(fan) on May 1, 2024
Shelby, I cannot wait to see this at home and have you explain. What a cool project. Keep it up, kiddo!!!
- Kelly (Mother) on April 26, 2024
Somehow you kept the yellow, orange, pink pattern going....even in the tail and finns!!! I picture your colorful fish slithering through the waves and ripples that surround him. He looks like he is sniffing the ocean floor for a tasty morsel. You have given him so much personality! Think you should name him and write a story about his adventures. Love seeing your art work, Shel! Love, Grandma
- Grandma Cathy(fan) on April 24, 2024
I love the colors, Shel! What a friendly painting!
- Kelly (Mother) on April 10, 2024
I am so pleased that you are learning about other cultures and their art. Knowing how much work goes into a project helps to appreciate it even more. Blue and white is one of my favorite color combinations and I love the way you have used the colors. The final glaze gives your pot an amazing shine! Hope to hear more about the process used and see the pot when I visit. Love, Grandma
- Grandma Cathy(fan) on March 6, 2024
This is so awesome looking, but even better in person. Can't wait to use it, Shel!
- Kelly (Mom) on March 6, 2024
Dear Shelby, Thank you for explaining Goyataku to me. I had never heard of it and do love learning new things! Your fish is a wonderful example and I understand what you did so much better now! I hope that you will be able to bring it home so that I can see it when I come to visit.

Dear Shelby, Thank you for explaining Goyataku to me. I had never heard of it and do love learning new things! Your fish is a wonderful example and I understand what you did so much better now! I hope that you will be able to bring it home so that I can see it when I come to visit. This card might get to your home by the time you return from vacation. I hope you have a great time and that I will get pictures to prove it! Love, Grandma

This look 3 dimensional, Shelby! So cool!!!
- Kelly (Mother) on February 7, 2024
Shelby, the bamboo definitely gives your drawing a 3 D look! Great job adding the curved lines! You inspired me to google more information about pandas! Glad I am not having bamboo for supper! Making the panda, and then placing him on the background, really makes him pop. I am impressed! Love, Grandma
- Catherine on February 7, 2024
What a fashionable little bear! Her knit hat and scarf colors blend perfectly and the wavy lines accent the knit pattern. The technique used to draw her nose assures me that she is a friendly bear! Thanks for sharing her with me, Shelby.
- Grandma Cathy on January 3, 2024
What a cute, cozy scarf!
- Kelly (Mother) on December 11, 2023
I want to buy fabric that looks like your mitten design! Love it. The rows and repeating presents and candy canes are sooo interesting. Wonder what is inside the packages, especially the green ones!
- Grandma Cathy on December 6, 2023
Look at the detail on those gloves!!! Great job, Shelby!
- Kelly (Mother) on December 5, 2023
You know Mom doesn't like snow, but I sure love your artwork, Shelby. Keep up the great work!!!
- Kelly (Mother) on November 27, 2023
Looked hard to try to find something that was not symmetrical! Your snowflake definitly is!!! You will have to explain how you balanced and spaced the stamping tools to do this. LOVE your snowflake, Shelby!
- Grandma Cathy on November 20, 2023
Your cutting skills have really improved! Love how you varied the shapes and balanced them with color and size.
- Grandma Cathy on November 13, 2023
You really listened to the assignment, Shelby! The bowl does sit on the table and I feel like I am looking right into the bowl! Love your smiling fish and the flowers in and around your fishbowl room.
- Grandma Cathy on November 13, 2023
Shelby, this is so cool! You are so creative.
- Kelly (Mother) on November 9, 2023
I showed this to the magic pumpkin. He loves it and I do too!
- Grandma Cathy on November 8, 2023
I noticed that each of the objects you have placed in your picture, has a point some place. Nice way to tie things together! The fall colors are definitely a grandma favorite. You will have to tell me what you were thinking when you composed this beautiful abstract piece of art. I love seeing what you are doing in art class!
- Grandma Cathy on November 8, 2023
You are a poet and I bet you didn't know it! I want to put a big smile on your orange shape.
- Grandma Cathy on November 8, 2023
This is so expressive! Those wide open eyes tell me that there is a story behind this art work. Hope you will share it with me!
- Gramdma Cathy on July 10, 2023
So much detail! Love the color blending and how the yellow accents make it shine! Good job, Shel!!!!
- Gramdma Cathy on July 10, 2023
What a beautiful choice of colors.
- Kelly (Mother) on May 24, 2023
How goofy! Love it!
- Kelly (Mother) on May 24, 2023
This is sooo good!!! I am so proud of you!
- Kelly (Mom) on April 19, 2023
ShelShel, this is so cool!!!
- Kelly (Mom) on April 19, 2023
Dear Shelby, What a wonderful treat! Today I got an email that showed me all of the fun projects you have been doing in art class. Your snail (Shel,Shel). Is adorable and my favorite. The one you just finished reminds me of a bridge with 3 people running across being watched by animals! You will have to tell me what you see when you look at it.
- Cathy on March 7, 2023
Love this, Shel!
- Kelly (Mother) on February 14, 2023
Look at you go, Shelby! This is awesome!!! -Mom and Dad
