A Spoonful of creativity
Day 3
Today I have a scratchy throat and feel very lethargic, so my enthusiasm for sitting at my desk was pretty low - but I knew I had to do something - it is only day three, after all!
I didn't have the brain power to come up with ideas and needed to do something more connected to my hands and less with my brain - if that makes any sense.
So today was paper clay day.
I have had this sitting in my cupboard for a while. When working with it, it is handy to have a sheet of waxed paper to use as a working surface, a bowl of water, a wet cloth, paper towels and sculpting tools if you have them:
The clay was pretty tough at first and not very malleable. so I broke off pieces, kept dipping my fingers in the water and kneaded it. It got quite soft after a while and I just played around with it, not really knowing what to make. These started to look like mouse ears to me...
A little mouse head, with a folded pipe cleaner as possible base for a body, and a little bunny. I pierced a holes through the body to possibly put wires through to attach arms and legs...
The beginnings of a doll. I put little holes in the chest piece with the idea of sewing it to a fabric body...
This is as far as I got, then ran out of steam...
The paperclay was nice to work with and fit my mood - a bit spaced out and slow.
More tomorrow folks :)
I love these new posts. Your really trying all sorts of things which is great. I love to use paper clay. Can't wait to see what you do next.
i'm sorry you don't feel well.
I'm sick too, and all day I've been thinking that I needed to post my creative artifact for the day.
Ugh!!
I did make stuff though, and it's suprising how even when your sick art is still fantastic.
I did not however have the energy to stage,take,upload,edit,and post my photos.
Maybe i'll feel better soon and show you what i've been up to.
Thanks for the creative spark.
Get some rest.

Good for you! For me, doing anything when I feel not-so-good is so hard. Again, good for you. Yes, get some rest.
I love the art you change daily on the lamp base. The clear bottle you use to rest the mouse head is adorable. I love your style.
