Paint By Number

I seem to recall having completed one or two of these kits when I was in primary school. There is a certain nostalgia associated with this informative history of the paint by number fad. I wonder if it's influence prompted me to pursue painting as a creative outlet?

I've been thinking about doing a paint by number and gluing it onto one of my paintings.....can you still buy them?

I think you still can buy them.

I liked doing these things too...and doodleart did you ever do those, big posters with a felt pen kit?

Tiff has a huge Last Supper painting, she's been threatening to do it and give it to Dave for xmas for a couple years, she got it in a second hand store.

I think that you can still buy them at craft and hobby stores. Notice that I didn't mention art supply stores, ha,ha.
Wow Tiff is going to have a blast, hopefully she will leave it partially incomplete, that would be cool.
