Let’s Play

Making  your own calligraphy nib out of cardboard for Star Wars inspired art journaling

  I didn’t have what I needed…so I used what I had around to create it!  I felt a little like McGyver when the idea popped into my head to make a flat calligraphy dip pen just so I could write Star Wars in my art journal for this week’s Let’s Play link party. I’m [...]

Using some of that cardboard all around and scraps on the counter, a very silly story involving eggs and Santa is revealed through art journaling play for the Let’s Play link party!

Amazon boxes mean cardboard is everywhere thanks to some last minute shopping…which means I have a cheap and plentiful place to paint and play.   A little Santa on my counter that was left over from another day’s play (you can see it here) sparked the silly story to come.  I never know where my mind [...]

Liquitex spray paint and plastic snowflakes for a bright and rainbow decoration!

Cheap plastic snowflakes in the dollar store for only a buck each? Of course I bought all they had!  A giant size but they were a frosted clear plastic. They needed some color.  Lot’s of bright color.  This was my rainbow play for this week’s Let’s Play link up. I could have painted them with a brush [...]

It’s Tuesday and that means a new Let’s Play link party for all of us to share what we’ve been creating!  What play have I been up to?  I’ve been making a plan and then not following it.  The plan came about while I was checking out the all the fun stuff shared in last week’s [...]

Let’s Play, a link party where you can be inspired and be inspiring!

“Can I go over to Christi’s house?”  “Can Maria come over?” As a kid, I was always asking to go to a friends house or to have a friend or two come over. Now I am an adult and I still want to play!  So I am interrupting my grown up day for a little play! [...]
