Newspaper something...

 Work with a newspaper to make the biggest thing you can. Well, I didn't want anything too large, made of newspaper in my house, so I used an entire two-spread comic section to make a gianormous doily. Actually it turned out kind of pretty, don't think I'll keep it though.

Something Quiet

 Simple assignment today....make something quiet. This is my current journal for my deep thoughts. (Sometimes I have a deep thought!) Just the look of these books and my pen lead me to quiet myself.

Skyline photos

 Using the skyline of your hometown create something today. These are from the intersection of Scott and KK. I had fun playing with these to get various effects.

Paper bags

 I have been creating regularly, but not posting, so today I'm playing catch-up! Another project I did with Rebecca is to use paper bags to create something new today. We used dark green bags and did a stamping project with white and pink paint. Then we added trim - original gift bags.

Hats & Shoes

 Today's post was to make a hat and wear it. Rebecca is visiting so we made lovely hats and decorated them with lace, rick rack, beads and stencils.

The previous day the assignment was to make something that can be walked on so flip flops to match the hats seemed in order. It took a while to figure out which glue would make things stick to the vinyl. We tried hot glue but things popped off. We used super glue so I hope they will stay put now.

Formula drawing

 This assignment was to use printed directions to do a drawing. I have a children's drawing doodles book that has instructions for drawing animals. (first draw to v's, then connect them and draw a u shape connecting the ears, etc.) A person can come up with a pretty good drawing - especially if you depart from the formula at some point. Ha!

Create in Yellow

 Today's assignment was to use only yellow as a medium. It's been so sunny lately that this yellow flower in the sunshine was pretty easy to come up with. I am a little disappointed that it doesn't have much contrast. I may have to work on it some more when it dries. I am several days behind on posting and a couple of days behind schedule in creating - must get busy and catch up!
