When i first picked the Salt Dough project to do for art, I had no idea what I was going to do. I had yet to incorporate my dog, Miley, into a project and I wanted all my projects to include something I love or am passionate about. Miley, is my three year old Yorkie, and she is spoiled rotten, I absolutely love and adore her to pieces, so I kept thinking to myself; how can I use salt dough to represent Miley? Then, I got the idea to imprint her paw into the dough. Miley even helped me mix the dough (as seen in the photo below) she loves helping her mommy! This project was fun because it was a fun way for me to make something meaningful using something that is an important part in my life. I decided to paint in the paw print once I got to school because it was hard to see the imprint in the dough without it. This was a fun project, and I would definitely like to use salt dough in my classroom, there are so many possibilities!
