Monday, August 4, 2014It was so fun to watch three generations of women creating the other day.
Daughter, Mother and Grandmother were all a buzz with ideas and possibilities as they mined through bins looking for that one thing that was going to ignite their creative process. June enjoyed watching what her daughter and granddaughter were doing as her creative juices simmered.
She knew what she wanted to do, but how to build it was the question. I became captivated with the layers she used to develop the form into the smart looking owl it became. Under his feathery exterior lies a core plastic water bottle along with a section of plastic apple packaging. Then fabric, then more only textury on the surface. The feathers, by the way, are fake leaves cut into the feathers that now rest on this who’s who of an owl’s span.
Here is art imitating nature.

Monday, July 28, 2014Who knew that puzzle pieces could be so versatile? Mama Amy got inspired when sifting through the bin of puzzle and game pieces. Amazing how something so simple, just gluing puzzle pieces together could make such a statement ( I must admit, I love initials too).
Imagine a whole name in puzzle letters! Wow!

Weekly WOW!
Tuesday, July 22, 2014Nicholas gets a nod for most ingenious and practical reuse of non recyclable materials!
He cleverly played with two heavy plastic materials that when put together the way he did became a fetching end table for his room (he plans to spray paint it red). He didn’t know the primary table components are not so earth friendly but with his touch they became somewhat so. Now his table with a conscience will provide his room with flair and a good place to set things down.

Tuesday, July 15, 2014A bit of this and that this week made up our Instagram posts. Music at a great concert, our love of cardboard turned carrier and tank, a feathery rainbow eliciting smiles and a stealth Submarine of all things plastic made more art fun for everyone @createstudio
