Challenge: Work with nature. Go to your yard or nearby park and collect materials to work with.
Today's challenge is right up my alley! I looked around my place for inspiration and found a small green bowl. Aha, I could make a little terrarium! I've seen some really cute ones in a shop made by a
local artist and on a few other
blogs and really wanted to try my hand at one.
So I gathered some grass and a few clippings of old growth from a pine tree outside my apartment. I put a small chunk of cotton batting in the bottom of the bowl to make a higher surface to work with, glued in some of the grass and pine chunks, a Lego wookie, and here's the result:
Some of the cotton batting is still visible, but I wasn't super concerned about craftsmanship and presentation for my first terrarium. And you know what? I don't think it's a true terrarium since it doesn't have a glass enclosure, but I still wanted to share my inspiration and line of thought. Here's a closer view:
Can you find the wookie in this picture?
Hey, guess what? There's a wiki out there called
Wookieepedia! I discovered it a few years ago when I was trying to find a specific Star Wars
quote. I love how totally whiny Luke Skywalker is when he
delivers the line.
Also, my sister/roommate found some Legos, so I am totally gonna try to work them into a project this week. Huzzah!
