Felt!
When Marni and her mom came into the studio the other day there was a plan in place. Marni wanted to make a cat. She didn’t know how or why but a cat it must be. After scouting her options it was decided that she would make a felt cat and drew out a plan to make it.
The whole kitty was simple, comprised of felt, pillow fluff, hot glue, a little collar and a drawn face. Felt can be a little hard for small hands to cut so there was some mommy assistance in the process . Marni was so pleased with her creation, she got inspired by some other crafters at the studio and wanted to make a mermaid too, so that we did together.
Felt is so fun to work with, no wonder it is a crafting core material.

Countertop Samples!
We’ve had these samples before. They make great necklace pendants, tiles for tabletop rooms or walls for fortresses, and that’s just the beginning…

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.

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.

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.
