Desaturate

 This project involved removin the color from something to create the illusion of a black and white photo. I tooks the liberty of focusing on the manta ray by removing all the color around him.

Environment

 Today's assignment was to transtorm a room into a new environment - temporarily or permanently. I have been clearing clutter all week so this project fit right in! I have moved all the kid toys, books, and games into the small bedroom. They have been scattered throughout the house. It looks so much tidier and I got rid of a lot of outgrown things. I liked this project!

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.
