On Instagram we posted a week of notables with a garden dig, a quite moment of play, a surprise at the ER, lacrosse tools, toddler names, and a cool learning time parking garage. Check them out @createstudio

Let’s get crackin’
Solid as a rock…
That’s what this creation is.
Getting inspired while at his cousin’s birthday party yesterday, Lathan found rocks were more fun than he had thought. He started playing around with different formations, stacking them, lining them up and here, giving them a wild personality.
How clever he was to see the cohesiveness with the three rocks he put together with outstretched arms no less. So simple, yet so not obvious! It took a special connection to inspiration and some help from mom with the hot glue gun to make this fun and funky rock man. He sure is cool.

Pattern Paper!
Once just for pattern specs this paper is heavy weight, making it perfect for drawing, paining or paper dolls and character cut outs. Let’s have fun!
Always have an eye out for nuances of the day to day. I find it nurtures my creative muscles. This weeks posts looked far and near. An island of dreams, a plastic bag tree, love notes from the gutter, a wild octopus and an angel made noted @createstudio
A glass apple sauce jar inspired Gayle to make a wisdom jar, a place to keep those little tea tags and fortunes, sayings to inspire. With a bit of hot glue to spell the word and fun acrylic paint colors this jar became wise and ready to inspire.

Coffee Lids!
One of the first recycled creations I saw was a car made of two coffee lids taped together and paper wheels to make it go.. What can you dream up this week?
The beauty of a sunrise, a lesson learned, time to paint and ponder, a thank you note and new uses for T.P rolls were this weeks posts for simple moments in everyday @createstudio
Cardboard saves the day..
Even though Lauren knew she wanted to make an owl when she arrived at CReATE she needed some time to formulate the kind of owl it would be. There was a lot to consider, should it be round, soft , flat or 3D.
Staring with a fresh piece of cardboard was just the right move. She had a nice base with which to build on by layering her pickings one by one to make the happiest owl created with lots of fun textures and just the right pop of yellow.
