Every once in a while there is an anonymous creation left at the studio after a birthday party. This one gave me a big smile. This cute kitty has a sweet disposition and and a fuzzy carpet tail. I love to see where imaginations go.

David loves art.
On a field trip with his peers from “The Program for Children with Autism at Thousand Oaks High School” he found his niche. A piece of cardboard gave him the perfect canvas to work his magic. The color, the symmetry, and the textures he created as he laid out this piece gave him the sense of order he likes.

Cardboard is so great for making ideas come to life. Stacking pieces together the way that sisters, Ivy and Mia have has turned sheets into a neatly stacked, lavish, four story town home. To think, putting a batch of cardboard, some colorful paint and the right crafty comforts of home make this house a great place for imaginations to thrive.

Cars are pretty popular creations at the studio for all ages. It’s no wonder that Jackson wanted on of his own, with a little help of course. Paper, paint, tape and of course a Bat Man Pez dispenser makes it really special.
Watch out speed Racer!

When these girls came in with an assignment to build a replica of an early American wagon they found the perfect wheels to tow the line. Pizza topers made great wheels when they put two together. From there it all just fell into place, a cardboard tomato tray covered in popsicle sticks became the base of the wagon and an Oatmeal container made the curved frame for the cover. This is sure to be an A+ project for school!

Ryan’s task was typical for a school assigned project. Take one aspect of the book being read and bring it to life in your own way.
Ryan liked the Gold Rush Steam Ship in his story so inspiration was sparked!
Since the moulding in the wood bin caught his eye the task was how to make it a boat on a river. Some creative thinking and perseverance help him bring it to life with a sails, and a coal bunker to keep the steam comin’
Thanks for taking us back in time!

There is something about a rectangular piece of wood that seems to lend itself to saying or name creating. Lamia thought so too.
She gathered stretchy string, broken twigs and a clothes pin to make her name stand out. I can just imagine this sign hanging on the door to her room.

To think, gathering together a few everyday things and putting them together in a vision you can foresee creates a setting like this.
I want to be there with these mermaids, perhaps lounging on the hammock. This scenes reminds me of a page from the book series Look-Alikes by Joan Steiner. Isabella brought corks and mesh and other simple stuff to bring life to her beachy scene. What a fun place!
