Serious Pastels

I've been running across a lot of amazing pastel color based artwork lately and it made me think, that pastels aren't always powder puff cute and reserved for little girls and nurseries. They can be sophisticated, eclectic, mystical, kitsch, and even just a little bit morbid as well. The use of bolder splashes of color and dramatic themes certainly add to that equation. A few that I am currently loving:

Sweet Treats: Edible Painted Marshmallows and Popcorn Activity


Amy of Living Locurto's edible paint project is adorable! She got the idea from Katherine's amazing drive in movie and popcorn themed party. Katherine used sweet evaporated milk with food coloring, and  Amy used regular milk with food coloring.


We have been loving both popcorn and marshmallows lately, ( put them together to make popcorn balls) and so I'm confident that my boys will just love this little activity.Wouldn't those marshmallows be cute in little s'mores?
