We covered our core studio materials basics this week posting about plastic lid animals, a fabric rag doll, a cardboard copter and a paper journal. Each creation creatively clever. We even got a yummy surprise in a plastic strawberry container with a sweetly made sticker.
It’s been a good week @createstudio
Emmy was inspired by a sock. I watched her work as she gathered and cut, glued and placed, then glued and taped and placed and gathered some more until she had made a tabletop puppet show! What an impressive show. Think of all the smiles she’ll bring.

Presentation Sleeves!
These tri-fold sleeves strike me as perfect family menu’s… what’s for lunch?
Say it with tape.
For Solie expressing herself came easily with the colorful masking tape at her fingertips. Say what you mean and mean what you say, as they say.

CD Covers!
They make great frames or building blocks for starters. The rest can be imagined..
We had some silly, expressive moments this week. Some seeing the unseen moments, getting things clean and ready moments and of course the typical cool creations moments. No matter which they were we were visually captured by each one so we just had to share…

What a fun week! Lots was done with cardboard in all forms; a Fathers Day trophy, sleek jet pack, man on the moon, T.P roll owls and the grand US to show where family has been. We had to sneak in a shot shared of a super bougainvillea heart formed over a freeway wall! Inspiration is everywhere!

“It’s a stick figure” the young girl said. “I made one like this at school too”. Making use of the simple things that nature offers us is a fun idea.
The other day a gentleman came by and said his daughter told him about the studio and the kinds of things we use (which is just about everything). He said he had been trimming back his birch tree and had some branches in the back of his car, could we use them? Yes, they would most certainly go to good use around here! Fast forward to a Saturday afternoon at CReATE, with a birthday party in full swing and a flurry of creative energy flitting about. A party guest in the zone of inspiration spots the Natural Things bin and a small birch branch on top- presto! She made this happy stick figure in a flash.
I have heard it said that one thing leads to another, around here it most certainly does.

This weeks material “Special” is a clear go to for crafty makings of all kinds. Make one for you and, why not, one for them too.
This week on #instagram we had fun making box heads-literally, Fathers Day treasures, working on a mural of the USA for my children’s alma mater elementary school, admiring a 5 year olds Natural collage and getting crafty at Sundays Senior Concerns’ Love Run.
I love capturing these little moments throughout the week to make a visual journal of some of our colorful moments in time. Read along @CreateStudio
