day one hundred and eighty three: 222

'make something appetizing seem unappetizing.'

one of my favorite movies is baby mama with tina fey & amy poehler, and one of the best lines is "is it poop, or chocolate?" hahaha. so this is inspired by that part of the movie. if you haven't seen it...go rent it!

one hundred and eighty two: 343

'make something boring seem exciting.'

what's more boring than cardboard? well, except golf. hahaha. and i actually don't think cardboard is very boring, but i think it's a common thing that is considered boring! my husband has been doing a lot of shipping from ebay sales so there was tons laying around, it was easy to grab and work with!

day one hundred and eighty one: 310

'work only with items that would be found in a hardware store today.'

again, i doubled up on this one and didn't realize it. i need to write in my book so i remember! lately i've been super busy and rush to get my snails done. i am going camping this weekend so i will have to make sure i don't do the same ones again.

day one hundred and eighty: 246

'use a sewing machine or a needle and thread. if you've sewn before, try a new technique. if you've never sewn before, don't be daunted-it's not hard to do a basic running stitch.'

well after i did my snail yesterday i flipped it over and saw the back...so this time i did the same thing pretty much and this is the reverse side. i used felt to sew on. i like the way this looks a lot more!

day one hundred and seventy nine: 207

'use paper like it was fabric. you can weave it, or sew on it-what else?'

i've always wanted to do this and i bought some blank note cards so i decided to practice on an envelope before i put it on the card. i really like how it turned out so i think i might make some cute thank you cards or something.

day one hundred and seventy eight: 136

'create a life-size person using your clothes and/or whatever else you have at hand.'

okay so i tweaked this a bit...i just used my clothes and made it "life-size"...super boring but oh well!

day one hundred and seventy seven: 63

'behind the mask. create a unique mask with whatever materials you like. bonus: document yourself or a friend wearing it.'

or my husband! i was making a bunch of felt owls for a friend and i had some leftover felt so i cut this out real fast and asked my husband to model it for me. he was hesitant at first but since it didn't work on the dog, he said he would do it!

day one hundred and seventy six: 70

'work only with numbers today. you could make an image using numbers, make something into number shapes, do something involving a calculator, or...?'

FAIL! i totally did this prompt already. i'm updating this late and i realized i doubled TWO prompts this past week. soooo lame! ugh. i will now have to catch up and make 3 snails in one day. oh well!

day one hundred and seventy five: 338

'be timely. make something that shows the passage of time using any technique you like.'

i had many ideas for this prompt but the past few days have been busy (making 50 felt owls for a baby shower). i thought of this idea and thought it would be cool to see the colors warp so i drew on a paper towel and tried to take a picture as fast as i could after the water dropped onto it. turned out kind of tie-dye looking.

day one hundred and seventy four: 96

'work backward. work in front of a mirror, looking at what you're creating only in a mirror until you're finished.'

yikes! this was really hard to do. i put the piece of paper on the counter and looked in the mirror until i was done. the writing underneath is "a snail a day", hahaha. i'm better drawing with my toes or completely blind folded!

day one hundred and seventy three: 362

'make a rainbow from everyday objects. they can all be the same item (like book spines) or a collection of random things.'

self explanatory? i mostly used items from my geocaching finds/trinkets and then added some items from around the house.

day one hundred and seventy two: 144

'use your feet as your hands and/or your hands as your feet as part of whatever you do today.'

i drew with my toes...simply put. i wanted to try it again but my foot started cramping, haha. i'm shocked i can read the writing...can you? it's easy to guess.

day one hundred and seventy one: 213

'is there a doctor in the house? use only the things you would find in a first-aid kit (bandages, gauze, burn creams, etc.)'

super boring, hahaha. another late night snail. i apologize! i know lately i haven't been super creative and lagging on my posts. it will get better!

day one hundred and seventy: 188

'make something with your lunch before you eat it.'

so i KIND of cheated. i was super busy all day and when i finally got home i still had a bunch to do. tomorrow i'm going to be hosting a henna party and i needed to make some refreshments. i made salami roll ups with cream cheese and pepperoncini's. so yummy. so technically it was my lunch...just for the next day!

day one hundred and sixty nine: 167

'use only pencils as your material or inspiration today. you can draw with them, or they can be used as construction material, or...?'

boring. only word i have to describe this guy. i was tired and not feeling creative. all this prompt reminded me of are all the stupid times i had to make a 10 block scale from white to black in art classes. bleh!
