Mosaics

 I'm on Day229 and somewhat bogged down! This mosaic is made with colored beads. As you can probably tell, I did not find this very interesting as a project. Actually, now that I look at it, I think it is upside down, Oh well.

Chocoholiday

 Today's assignment was to think up a new holiday. I think we should have a national eat chocolate holiday. Create a food item, decoration or card to celebrate this event. This is a chocolate candy wreath - a very appropriate decoration for an eating event. Of these, my favoite is Reese's peanut butter cups. Mmmmm.

Bikes

 Work with or be inspired by a bicycle or parts of bikes. I took a bunch of phots of bikes from various directions. This one was the best composition and I went with black and white pencil sketch to keep your eye centered on the three wheels and how they intersect.

Be Balanced

 Work with things to create something that is balanced - extra credit for documenting it falling apart when touched. These sponge shapes are fun to play with and have nice bright colors. This is physically balanced as well as design-wise balanced. I touched it and it fell. (No extra credit for documentation!)

52 pickup

 Using a deck of cards make something today - or you can make an original deck of cards. I took the easy way out on this because it just didn't seem to prompt anything original. This is a set of Scrabble Slam cards.

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.
