Day 60

Day 60 finally! My goal was to get 60 projects done by the end of June and I am barely making it, but I did make it. My goal for the year is going to be 104 (2 a week) to possibly 122 (1/3 of my original goal). Today I needed to work with chalk on a sidewalk. I used artist's pastels on my front porch.

Day 59



The challenge for today was to use erasers. I used a kneaded eraser that was brand new. The great thing about kneaded erasers is that they can be sculpted. My students are always turning theirs into interesting animals and such...

Day 58

Today I needed to work with shredded paper, so I decided to use some quilling paper that I had. The finished product is 4" x 6" and it took about 2 hours to make.

Day 57

The challenge was to create something only using items around your bathroom. As an extra challenge I made it in the bathroom. For this project I used an clear travel bag and fingernail polish. Luckily, I have many different colors and brush types on my polish.

Day 56

Today I needed to work with a pair of shoes, so I used my old garden clogs. I incorporated an octopus into the existing design with sharpie.

Day 55

Today I needed to use numbers to create my image. I think it kind of looks like a spider instead of an octopus, oh well. It is brought to you by the numbers 1, 2, 3, 6/9, 7, 8 and 0!

Day 54

The challenge for today was to use papier-mache. I decided to use a papier-mache pulp. It was really difficult to work with. It was like sculpting with cottage cheese then it took several days to dry. I thought that I would be able to sand it smooth, but that was not possible. All in all I was not happy with this product and the resulting project.

Day 53

Today I needed to use a disposable bag to create something, so I used a brown paper lunch bag. I only used a scissors to cut areas, everything is just twisted.
