Blue

 Nothing but blue skies...work only with blue material today. I reworked this watercolor for this project - A very icy looking picture when you use all blue!

Container

 Make a container, such as a bowl, bottle, cup or box. It doesn't have to be functional. I made a self-hardening clay bowl when Rebecca was here. I love colored tissue for it's transparency, so I covered my bowl with flowers made of tissue. Unfortunately, tissue does not hold it's color, so is not very practical for "real art" projects. ...but it is soo pretty! I keep marbles, paper clips and such in it.

Wrap

 I thought this one was incredibly dumb, perhaps I am just incredibly uncreative. The assignment was to make a package for something normally unwrapped. All I could come up with was a jacket and hat for an ice cream cone and I wasn't about to sew them - so here's my sketch. Done!

Unique birdhouse

 Today's assignment was to make a unique birdhouse, or bat, or dog or squirrel house. I made this birdhouse in my ceramics house and finally got it hung outside. Hopefully I will have a nesting Wren next spring....little late for this year.

Legal Graffiti

 Using water, paint your message and then watch it dry. I played around with the photos, trying out various enhancements and colorations. It is so hot and dry they hardly last long enough to get a photo!

Toothpaste art

 Create something with toothpaste - this is a toothpaste doodle on my bathroom counter. The photo has been tinted to show the design better. I don't think there is much future in toothpaste art.

Measure

 The assignment was to make something using measures and measuring tools. The Bible verse came to mind first and then I just threw all the measuring devices on the paper cutter for background. Photo colors are reversed.
