Since we are closed on Mondays I found some time for an Artists Date in Ojai.
What better place to begin than at this magical book store that is outside instead of in.
I highly recommend a trip up this way and make Bart’s Books your first stop!
Marley had a vision when she saw the big strofoam box. She got right to work to make a happy place for the little girl inside. She succeded She spent her whole studio session working on each item. She cut and glued and painted to her hearts content. It unfolded as she workwd. Her scene in a box is like a window to her imagination, a place where creativity loves to play.

Thinking back to “Robot Making” with Sumac Elementary kids during their field trip to CReATE last spring.
We had a blast making creations together!
We LOVE to have classes and grade levels visit us for creative field trips.

The calm before the dream… making Dream Catchers with families stopping by the @aliceandolivia store at the Malibu Lumber Yard Endless Summer family event.
Visitors to the store are making awesome dream catchers in the stores signature black and white tones with splashes of red. So fun.
We had Potter fever tonight.

Pretty blue carnations made from just tissue paper and yarn. Reusing simple materials can be so pretty.
Reminds me of one of my favorite quotes; “The happiest people don’t have the best of everything. They make the best of everything they have.”

We love our little backpack pals! They are just perfect as a first day of school buddy when you have lots of new experiences ahead.
These little treasurered characters are just one of the fun projects we do at our Girls Club-Confidence and Creativity classes.
Save the date for our new enrichment series that spans 13 weeks on short day Wednesdays from 1-2:45pm beginning next Wednesday 8/31.

Create it at home idea 5; “Utencil People”.
You’re bound to have stray plastic cutlery around the house. Use them to make fun and funky characters with random stuff other you have around the house (check with parents on this). Use tape, glue or even wire to attach items to your Utencil, do a little doodling and you’re done!
Bonus idea, use a box to make a state and have a puppet show to entertain your family, friends or pets.
