Happy Thanksgiving!

We are so grateful to be a part of the great big world of creativity and the exploration that often comes with it. We have met, created with , collaborated with and been inspired by the wonderful community that ripples far and wide from our spot on the map. Thank you for spending time with us. We love spending time with you.
Enjoy a beautifully bountiful day today.

Oh the fun we have been having with our #thirtydaysofthanksproject! We’ve enjoyed pretty days, happy hobbies, crafty traditions, creative moments, a friendly turkey, and of course some thankful moments @createstudio on instagram.

Material of the Week

This week we are inspired by Cruella de Vil with our black and white shred! Maybe we’ll make something with wild hair, a wild beard or add some dramatic flair to a clever collage…endless possibilities abound…

Weekly WOW!

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.

Happy America Recycles Day!

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!

Material of the Week 11/16-11/22

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!

Weekly WOW!

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!
