When I got done making the videos, I had three wig stands that were completely turned, but needed to be finished. For many, this means nothing more than applying a few coats of wipe on Poly, but the first two were very plain, bland, poplar. I’ve always thought that if someone going through cancer treatment needs a wig stand, the least we can do is make them something worth looking at. For the first one, I decided to use it as an “all day activity” with Papa, while I was babysitting one of my grand-daughters. She’s three, so her art skills are admittedly limited, but she actually followed instructions very well, took her time, and did an exceptional job!

The first was to paint the entire stand flat black. I worked with her to make sure there were no white spots left, then we sat it aside to dry. After nap, we got out a bunch of different colors, then I helped her leave muli-colored fingerprints all over it. When we were done, it turned out very well!

The women at Susan G. Komen assured me that this would be selected very quickly, especially since my grand daughter signed her name on the bottom as the “artist”, using typical three year old lettering. Absolutely the cutest thing ever!
