Day 76′s assignment was “Make something inspired by and /or that fits on or around an ear (yours or someone else’s). I try to avoid craft stores like Michael’s.

Day 72′s assignment was “Use all of the shoes in your household to make something, or work on a single pair of shoes that were destined for the thrift store.” The people who know me well know that I own a fraction of the number of shoes most girls own. Oh, I do have a ...

I came across this on 9gag today and thought that it was an amazing story & comic.

Day 69′s assignment was: “Make a puzzle or make something using pieces from a puzzle.” After searching google for inspiration, I decided to make my own optical illusion using this tutorial.  It was  simple  to do and once I had my images ready, I just looked for a wordpress plugin which can do image/mouse rollovers. ...

Day 67′s assignment was: “Write a 10 word science fiction story. Bounus: Illustrate it.” The first thing that popped in my mind was this: But upon further reflection today I wondered if  instead the aliens would ONLY  want blonde girls’ brains because they are “stupid” and easy to manipulate. So I made this as well: ...

Day 60′s assignment was: “ Make something that casts a shadow and document only the shadow.” After procrastinating on this assignment, I finally dragged my friend’s sister into posing with me for a shadow photo.

“Day 53: Make something in which the sense of smell is the essential component.” Today should have been a day of baking cookies or making some other delectably delicious dessert. But a quick roadtrip to Fredvegas took baking out of the picture. It is impossible to capture smell in a photograph or a video… you ...

Day 46: Face it. What can you do with a face- yours or someone else’s? This doesn’t have to be face painting; you could use food or something else to decorate it, or try modeling it into a new shape with hands or tape and documenting it.  Running five days late on this I decided to ...

Day 52′s assignment was: “Work upside down.

Day 51′s assignment was: “Make something that would not normally be considered cute and cuddly into something that is.” Today was president’s day so I decided I wanted to have my project involve a president, preferably having him wear a tiara and tutu. Megan Mc suggested William H. Taft so I got to work. I ...

Day 38′s assignment was “Work underwater. Fill up a large bowl, vase, or old fish tank with water and create something inside it.” I’m wary of working with water ever since I drowned my camera during one of these 366 creativity project a month ago. Since it was freezing today I decided to reflect this ...

For my sister’s 25th birthday last week I wanted to do something epic. Originally I had the idea to make her a cake like this: But then I decided to go with making her the traditional German Chocolate cake and instead have the fabulous Megan Mc make her a Gif Bday Card.   Laura thought ...

Day 43′s assignment was: “Learn something new. Ask a friend to help you do something using a technique or skill they’re good at.” Time to make my first gif! I turned to the #DS106 tutorial and downloaded a few programs (like Gimp) to make it work. I also asked Megan Mc to help since she ...

Day 35′s assignment: “Create instructions that others can use to make something and then have someone try it out.” I This was tricky in terms of I could think of nothing that I can do that requires instructions for other people to do it.  So I turned to a visualization game/ 5 minute personality test ...

Day 36′s assignment was “Take something old and make it look new.” This was yet another assignment I was late on doing. :/ I decided that I wanted to take an old photo and spruce it up a bit. This is a picture of my Great-Grandpa Wilson (born circa 1875*)  I just love his curls ...

I was in Urban Outfitters the other day and stumbled across a postcard pack labeled “Unbridled Passion” by Franco Accornero. It’s a collection of 30 different postcards from an artist who has painted more than 5,000 romance novel covers (as well as westerns, thrillers and sci-fi books). The postcards are really ridiculous on their own, ...

Day 34′s assignment: “Work with wire. Thin-gauge wire can easily be bent by hand, so no special tools are required. You don’t even have to buy wire if you have some paper clips handy.”  What I learned today was that bending paperclips is a little bit harder than I remembered/expected it to be. I had ...
