We love boxes for so many reuses at the studio. In their original state they make great structural works or cut into pieces they can become just about anything else!
Boxes!

Connection
Thursday, January 25, 2018
One of the wonderful things I note about time at CReATE is the organic connections that unfold with parents and children, grandparents and grandchildren, aunts and uncles and nieces and nephews, cousins and friends and caregivers and carekids and strangers too. Personal connections are the greatest need and core we all seek. Having time together to just BE is a magical thing.
Things
Monday, January 22, 2018
As Anias Nin said “We don’t see things as there, we see them as we are”. So, I see Me in these cans! Potential, that’s what I see, oh, and a little challenge too. Thats the fun part.
Back in my early working days as a Costumer in the Film Industry where I worked strictly Low Budget Films, I was at home. I loved the challenge of having to use what I had to make things great. It was all about resourcefulness, I couldn’t buy anything I wanted, I had to make it or-remake it. I felt so Mac Guyver! It was a blast and I felt so good when I saw my work on screen. It was in me to work that way and I could see it in the things I used to create character looks and deadly appearances for sequal slashers. Such fun!
As I emptied my dishwasher yesterday, this stack of cans appeared from the prior days cat food meals, washed and ready for reuse. I took one look at it and thought, this says a lot about me because I see potential…

When you can create anything why not create happy!
Pirates Life

Yo Ho, Yo Ho, A Pirate’s Life For Me…
We get some amazing donations at the studio! Take these vintage Pirates Of The Caribbean Postcards from Disneland circa 1966.
Come in and create with them. They are super cool!
Fun and Games
Friday, January 19, 2018
This tear sheet from a vintage -ish @familyfunmag has triple appeal for us. 1.We love the suggested idea of creative family games- cut slits in cards to make your own house of cards game!
2. This idea naturally converts to a “creating at home” idea for us! Grab an old deck of cards from around the house that is OK to alter and snip double slits around all four sides of each card about 1/2 inch deel then, interlock cards as you wish.
3. Surely there are decks of cards floating around school campuses and that’s where our non-profit, CReATE ON YOUR CAMPUS comes in, to bring recycling habits for reuse it in new ways like taking old playing cards like this and making up something new for collaborative building in classrooms. A super fun learning tool that doesn’t cost a thing.

Be Kind
Wednesday, January 17, 2018
In a world where you can be anything, be Kind.
Hurray! I am so proud of Our Kindness Wall Project; a joint partnership between CReATE STUDIO and Girls Club Strong and maintained by the Dude Be Nice Club at Agoura High School (my two daughters alma mater).
The wall is ready for positivity and good vibes through campus shares from students, staff and administrators of kind doodles, words and notes. This is what makes me smile!
Happy Tuesday!
