Days 100 - 104

Day 100: "Create something with the napkin that you use at a meal today."

cloth napkin folding.

Day 101: "Create something in the steam on a bathroom mirror or other steamed-up surface."

Day 102: "Make something out of toast or bread. You can even make your bread from scratch."

Thanksgiving dinner rolls

Day 103: "Make something out of a ball or make a new ball out of something else and then play with it."

too tired to play with a new toy.

Day 104: "Work with a few free paint swatch samples found at most hardware stores and use them to create something new."

My favorite thing about paint samples is the names. This flower consists of, clockwise from top: caramel toffee, burnt brick, tiger orange, marigold, shop 'til you drop, and copper glow. The stem and leaves are "bay leaf."

Day 97 - 99

Day 97: "Walk through an alley or along a small road and pick up discarded materials to work with."

I walked around my neighborhood. I didn't find much in the way of discarded materials, but there were lots of fallen leaves. So, I did this:

leaf + paint = colorful leaf/tree print

I got this idea from a link that I found on Pinterest a while back. I like how they kind of look like little trees.


Day 98: "Work backward. Work in front of a mirror, looking at what you're crating only in the mirror until you're finished."

This was harder than it seems. I think working with my non-dominant hand was actually easier than this.

Day 99: "Make something new out of an old t-shirt."

I finally got my sewing machine figured out. I cut up an old t-shirt and made this infinity scarf:

Day 95 & 96 - paperclips and beehives

Day 95: "Make something only using stuff from your workplace or office."

paperclips

Day 96: "Use the world of insects as your inspiration today."

Day 93 & 94 - book selection and a palindrome

Day 93: "Flip to a random page in a book at hand and make something inspired by the first sentence you read."

I picked up 1984, one of my favorites. The first sentence I read was, "'It's real tea. Not blackberry leaves.'" The sentence is said by the character Winston. So, I made a flower from real tea leaves.

Day 94: "Write a palindrome."

Dang, I used to love palindromes back in high school. I'm kind of stuck on this one, though. All I can think of is the word, "racecar." I wish I could think of some of the ones we used to come up with on newspaper staff in high school.

Day 92 - invitation

"Make an invitation to an everyday event you wouldn't normally invite people to."

Edit: 

I just realized that I should have chosen a different everyday event. I do a creative project every day (as evidenced through this blog...although "every day" has taken on a looser definition lately). That's an everyday event for me, which I don't usually invite people to. So, I would like to extend an actual invitation for others to join me in this endeavor. If you feel so inclined, I invite you to embark on your own creative journey. Check out the book I am following, or the blog of the book's author, which highlights projects that other people are doing. Just let me know so I can be sure to follow your project!

day 91 - letter

"Write a letter to yourself at another time in your life (past or future)."

Day 90 - orange

"Work only with orange materials today."

Don't read too much into this. It's just random orange images and words that I cut out of some magazines. However, the words are somewhat fitting, in a way. "Fusion." "Rewards." If you fuse things, you can be rewarded with the result. You fuse sounds together, and are rewarded with beautiful music. You infuse tea leaves (like the submarine tea infuser at the top right - so cute!) and are rewarded with a delicious beverage. That's all I've got. It's orange. The end.
