WOW! I like Lily’s style.
She took a magazine picture and cut it in half so she could draw out the other half to complete the image. It was clever thinking to do this and skillful to capture this image at an angle. I would say she has a future as a sketch artist. What a great avenue for self expression!
I would guess that she has magazines at home so I hope we see more of this kind of creativity from her.

It was a big week of thanks, thoughts, heritage, friendship and a funny character @createstudio on istagram last week.
At CReATE every day is recycle day but setting aside a special time to rally extra hard, to create awareness, to grow good habits is a welcome thing for sure. We are proud to be part of this good habit by practicing the three R’s with a special emphasis on Reuse.
Let’s keep America beautiful & creative!
Ceramic Whale Lids are it!
We sure got luck with this material donation. No doubt creators will have a whale of a good time making project fun with them!
Friendship makes the world a better place. That’s what Audrey & Haylie think. They spent their creative time at studio making matching necklaces out of tin container lids to commemorate their special bond. They had a great time collaborating on the overall look their necklaces would have and were proud with big smiles when their matching projects were done. What a great connection. I am sure they are wearing them fondly this week.

They are nearly invisible, that means they can help make creations appear differently than they really are for a floating or suspended look!
We have shared a whole lot of love @createstudio on instagram this week through thankfulness; thanks for pets, rainbows, donations, expressions, craftiness, and a visit with our friends at The Hideout Playground.
Eva came up with a very clever reuse for T.P. rolls by converting them into the fall message, Autumn. I love the way this creation captures the concept of limitless possibilities. Eva took a few ordinary items and put them together in an unusual way.
Over the years I have always seen cardboard rolls used in their circular state so, seeing them flattened with a word display struck me as delightfully different. WOW!
The mind is a wondrous place.

As Ben Franklin once said, Waste not, want not.
The idea is simple. If we use what we have we discover we have a bounty. Nothing is missing, no shortage occurs.
At the studio we find that using what we have is boundless fun! We tend to think of more possibilities. Our ideas grow and grow, not to mention we become more thoughtful about our planet. He was wise, that Ben and he was onto something good.
We captured a beautiful sunrise, Jimmy the Robot, made Batty Boo Bags, shared our Eco Craft Kits and had lots of crafty Halloween fun @createstudio on Instagram last week!
