Design a label and apply it to something in your home. It can be a re-labeling project or a usable lable to identify the item. Bonus: get permission to re-label things in a public place such as a store. 
Make a unique bookmark, and leave it in a book at the library or a bookstore for someone else to find. Here is my bookmark of ribbon and a button - I plan to leave it in a book at Daniel Boone Regional library next time I go. See if you can find it!
Make something with chopsticks today. Over the years we have had friends who traveled in the Orient, although we have never been there. This is a still-life arrangement of some of the pretty things they have brought back to us. 
Today use only your human body to create something. I couldn't make snow angels and didn't want to body paint, so I chose interesting shadows on various surfaces. This one had the best composition. 
Today I was to take something I had made with me and document it as I went through my day. I was home today, watering plants so the object didn't get a lot of exotic locations. 
Take something edible and make it look unappetizing (but still edible) There is something about this shade of blue that doesn't appeal to be good to eat. I also thought about whether this hand has been washed or not. The grapes were good. 
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. 
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!
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. 
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.
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. 
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!)
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. 
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!
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. 
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!
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. 
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!
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.
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.
Work with light. Create images using unusual light sources. A few nights ago we had a Blue Moon. Since that only happens once..... It was time to get out the camera. Here are a couple of images I got shooting the sky from my driveway. The top one has been manipulated by posterizing. The bottom one by adding a touch of neon. I really like messing around with photos. 
The assignment was to ask a friend you haven't talked to in a while for a suggestion of what to do today. My friend Marie suggested working with rainbow colors. At first I thought I'd just do a watercolor of a rainbow in a stormy sky. Before I got started on that, I ran across a paint swatch book as I was cleaning out my art closet. I've always loved paint swatch displays or spools of colored thread arranged in rainbow arrangements. Here a few photos of fun with the paint swatch book. Thanks, Marie!
