Day 5

"What do you collect? Work with a collection of objects you have in your home (or borrow a friend's if you like)."

I collect pencils. I love my pencils. ♥
The obvious solution (and the easiest) is this:

I actually made that after the 'official' one, though, so maybe not so obvious to me. And this one was damn hard to make! I had to keep it up with bottles of paint to keep the pencils from rolling off. It took me quite a while, almost an hour. Mostly, I think, because my first couple of attempts (before the paint bottles) fell down about halfway through. But finally, I created this:

Please use your imagination. It is a top hat. IT IS A TOP HAT.
It is ridiculously hard to make a top hat out of pencils without a good couple of hours at your disposal. xP

Day 4

"Take a five-minute walk, then make something using whatever materials are available where you've ended up. Leave it there for someone else to discover, but be sure to document it first!"

My five-minute walk was supposed to be somewhere nice through the forest, but I ended up walking to Harvey's with my friends instead. The materials I used where very much available, and I would have left it there, but my friends ate it first. On second thought, maybe leaving it there wouldn't have been a very good idea. It would have been a waste of fries ;)

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.

Day 2

"What's your favorite animal? Use it as your inspiration today."

Today I felt artistic, so I drew the top hat. My favourite animal is a cat (or so I've decided it will be today), but I can't draw animals at all. so I came up with a creative solution. Or rather, a solution I hope is creative. Drawn in pencil, inked with my brand new brush pen (♥!), behold today's top hat!!:


I think I got a good size for the picture, don't you think? Yay!! :D

Day 1

"The first step is the hardest, so start small today and make something that fits in the palm of your hand using only the materials in your immediate environment."

So today, I made a small top hat. I used a black bottlecap, a small black hair elastic, the black lid of an old glass jar of black paint, and a couple of small pieces of Christmas present ribbon. All these things were found on my desk where I do all my work on everything, and the finished piece was definitely small enough to fit in my hand, as it was supposed to be. I had to make it relatively quickly, it took me about ten minutes to find everything. And this is the first official top hat:
