My Silhouette cutter was my friend for making my Thanksgiving decorations.  They were made from paper (you can see them here).  I loved the pattern in the turkeys so I decided to use them as a stencil with spray inks.  I only used part of the turkey as a stencil so it didn’t scream  Thanksgiving.  I have had a blast just playing – perfect way to spend a Saturday during Art Every Day Month!

While making the decorations I tried watercolor paper in the Sillouette.  Didn’t cut  all the way through the paper but I couldn’t throw it out.  Leftovers are such fun to play with because there is NO FEAR of ruining, messing up, damaging, wasting, etc. -it is just exploration!Just a bit of brown spray ink and the design popped out!  I think I am going to have fun exploring how my Silhouette can create backgrounds!

My art for today’s Art Every Day Month?  Performance art with photography.  What happens at our house when there are 4 playful dogs?  Poker, of course.  This was our Thanksgiving fun.  The dogs were very accommodating – they knew treats were coming.  Tess, the cutie on the left has a duct tape “cigar” that was covered in peanut butter to encourage her to keep it in her mouth. Pure silliness that kept us laughing the rest of the day!
