Day 37

"Make something with a stapler. You can staple things together or, heck, just work with the loose staples. Even the stapler itself can be transformed."

Several layers of tissue paper do not like being glued together. Nor do they enjoy staying still for me to staple them. Blarg.

Day 36

"Take something old and make it look new."

I took an empty can of concentrated iced tea, painted it red, covered it in a layer of red tissue paper, and painted a pretty black design on it. Can you see the little top hat tribute? :)

Day 35

"Create instructions that others can use to make something, and then have someone try it out."

Well now. This image is HUMONGOUS!(500x3200) And so I uploaded it on devientArt instead, so you can all go over there and see it. Have I mentioned how big it is?
How to Make a Felt Heart

Day 34

"Work with Wire. Thin-gauge wire can easily be bent by hand, so no special tools are required. You don't even have to buy wire if you have some paper clips handy."

Luckily, my mother is just as much of an artsy person as I am, and she's had a lot longer to collect supplies and stuff. So I had thin wire.
I also had seed beads and beading thread, which I still believe has wire in it. It holds shape very nicely for a beading thread. I find it suspicious. *ninja eyes*

Day 31

"Make a path for people to follow and invite people to try it out."

It has nothing to do with Top Hats. Click on it to see a bigger version.

Day 30

"Play Time. Work with toys: If you don't have any, borrow some from a friend with kids, and maybe even work with the kids!"

Does anyone else get the feeling that this book was intended for adults? Hmm? Whatever. Who cares? :D Besides, as a 'kid' with younger siblings, I have my own toys!

Embrace the moment. Never again will you hear me say I am glad to be a 'child'. :P
I might make this more complicated a bit later, like a lego wall mosaic or something.
You know what I realized today? This doesn't have to be complicated. I don't need to sit on my butt all day trying to come up with something super-amazing. It can be something super-simple every day. Of course, that's no fun, but part of the reason I'm so stressed about this is because I think my creativity is running out. But it's not, I'm just trying too hard. :)

Day 23

"Waste not. Dig in a recycling bin for all of today's materials."

Well, they weren't sitting in a recycling box, but they are recycled materials.
- The bottom of a gum container
- The lid from a baby food container
- Some paper cut out to make the top hat stencil from Day 7
- Black paint, red paint, red ribbon

Day 3

"Make something out of paper, but don't use scissors or glue or draw on it. What now? (And no, you don't have to know origami to do this.)"

Key words: Paper, scissors, glue. I ripped the paper, rolled it, and bent it, then rested the pieces on top of each other. It would definitely stay better with some glue, but there is no glue holding it together. You can see some of the random ripped paper on the sides.

There's no bigger version. I decided it was kind of a waste of space on my photobucket account, so unless someone specifically requests a bigger version of a picture, I'm leaving it about this size. It's plenty big enough to see the details anyways.
