Weekly WoW!

Inspired by a large donation of mylar bubble wrap we found ourselves wrist deep in wrist guards (with a little help from moms of course). Super powers can come in small packages and with no sewing too!

On a mission to a make Blob Fish, Ava wasted no time looking for the right things to make it happen. You know a funny fact about blob fishes is, they really are blobs (boneless wonders) who live on the ocean floor, with the pressure of the vast ocean weighing on them. There is another funny trait, they happen to be pink.
As luck always seems to have it at CReATE, we had just the right stuff on hand. The blob itself was born from the sleeve of a pink dress shirt, the nose; one part foam ball, one part pink sock and the famous blob fish lips were a scrap of t-shirt hem.
Thank goodness her dad was such a good assistant. He helped bring Ava’s vision to life. This guy is awfully cute for being a creature that lives at the bottom of the sea, just being blobby.

Paint was the inspiration here!
Jenna loved the way it felt cool and silky on her hands. She and her mom had a great idea to make a Thanksgiving Turkey handprint. It turned out so well, they thought they would make some more. Then a bigger idea came.. make Turkey prints to send to all the family for the special Thanksgiving day!
Inspired…

Brads.
It is so neat to see what sparks imagination.
It can be something obvious or obscure. I watched as Lauren wandered about the studio clutching the cool star shaped brads she had found. All the while her creative wheels turned. Finally, she asked for paper. After pointing her in the right direction  I stepped away to help someone else. A bit later I walked by a work table and saw this tiny treasure, a moving parts doll no taller than a match stick laying in wait on the table. A moving paper doll was what she made.

Say it with Paper!
Two young brothers came into the studio with a mission in mind! They wanted to make something special for their dad who will be returning home from overseas. What better way to tell him they love him than to put words to paper with rubber stamps and masking tape.
Hallmark would be so proud. I know their dad will be too.

Brilana’s Black Bear habitat is where it’s at!
She built her diaorama from scratch, using all the knowledge she had gained learning about Black Bears in class and she did it nearly by her self. She had just a little help from mom of course.
Using skill and know-how she crafted her bear from a bottle, mountains from markers and a cave from packing paper. Boy, talk about using resources wisely.
This is a Win/Win project of course!

Get it on paper!
Nothing like an idea pad to get the wheels of imagination turning. At least that’s what Hudson thought when he saw the pads in the Material of the Week bin. For a guy like him, drawing is where it’s at and paper makes it happen. Here is where Legoland unfolds…
