~Use a map or make something that looks like a map.

I love the time consuming process of making the paper balls I made on April 21st. So I used an old map to make another, bigger, paper ball.

~Use a kit but make something unexpected with it.

I didn't want to buy a kit. I loved the green Kumihimo bracelet I made on April 12th except that it's too long for me, so I made this blue one! It will fit once I get to the bead store to buy the end caps and clasp!!

~Work with a mistake or spill.

A re-made necklace. I loved the green beads, but hated the first way I made the necklace a few years ago. Here's the remake that I'm super happy with!

I brought the dirt inside and "painted" the picture for Chloe since she loves the mud SOOO much!

~Create something in the steam in the bathroom.

But of course the mirror didn't steam when I wanted it too! I had to make something on my shower door. It doesn't show up very good in the pictures.

Since I'm trying not to spend money on things I wouldn't normally buy, I made another bracelet.

~Make something impossible, like an optical illusion.

I didn't make anything, but here are some of my favorite kinds of optical illusions:

I like this one because Í can't get it to spin both ways!!

I like that this can be seen two ways, sort of like backwards almost.

I like this one because it's colors playing tricks on you!

~Use insects as inspiration.

What a great excuse to make a caterpillar bracelet. This isn't a real caterpillar bracelet, but it's a close and faster.

~Work with time - like a long exposure photograph.

I couldn't figure out if my camera could do a long exposure photo.

~Work backward by using a mirror.


I used to love coloring pages like this when I was little. It's WAY harder looking in a mirror!!

I'm a bit too shy for this, plus I did this sweet outdoor project with my mom and dad today!!

~Write a letter to yourself in another time of your life.
I did this in middle school and my English teacher sent them out when we graduated from  high school. I didn't feel like doing that again.

~Use coffee.
I did this a little while ago because I didn't have tea, but here's round two of using coffee.


It doesn't look like much, but I crinkled it and tryed to dye it. I left it soaking for an hour, but maybe I should have left it in longer.
