Have Faith Haiti Mission Art Adventure
Gail Rosenbloom Kaplan-community Michigan artist;
My recent adventure to the Have Faith Haiti Mission with Mitch Albom was beyond incredible- and we couldn't have done it without the support of Rupert, Gibbon and Spider who generously donated the Jacquard Textile Color fabric paints that we used to create artwork with 57 children.
The photos shown here showcase the creative spirit and artistic abilities of the children as brought to life on personalized t-shirts and pillowcases. Having used this textile fabric paint for years with patients at the Children's Hospital of Michigan, I know firsthand how durable it is- and am confident it will brighten the surroundings at the orphanage for years to come.
As shown in these photos, the children were also excited to wear my trademark blue smocks with pride! They also partook in many other art activities, including watercolor paintings, sand art, and the beautiful glass mosaic which will be hung as a permanent installation on the walls of the orphanage.
