Work with pens. Use them as your inspiration/medium today.


Ok!

twenty-eighth bird

Play time. Work with toys.


...and, with Charles Dickens, right? Right?

Never mind.

see that gift bird? don't look at it. don't.

Do you know what the Mississippi motto is?
By valor and arms
Doesn't that just stir your heart and make you bold and brave?


My quest with this project was to make Eric a Mississippi shirt that doesn't look like a Mississippi shirt. I feel rather successful.

Original design:

On the t-shirt:

Close-up of the finished project:

Go, Mississippi
 Words and Music by Houston Davis

States may sing their songs of praise
With waving flags and hip-hoo-rays,
Let cymbals crash and let bells ring
Cause here's one song I'm proud to sing.

Go, Mississippi, keep rolling along,
Go, Mississippi, you cannot go wrong,
Go, Mississippi, we're singing your song,
M-I-S-S-I-S-S-I-P-P-I

Go, Mississippi, you're on the right track,
Go, Mississippi, and this is a fact,
Go, Mississippi, you'll never look back,
M-I-S-S-I-S-S-I-P-P-I

Go, Mississippi, straight down the line,
Go, Mississippi, ev'rything's fine,
Go, MIssissippi, it's your state and mine,
M-I-S-S-I-S-S-I-P-P-I

Go, Mississippi, continue to roll,
Go, Mississippi, the top is the goal,
Go, Mississippi, you'll have and you'll hold,
M-I-S-S-I-S-S-I-P-P-I

Go, Mississippi, get up and go,
Go, Mississippi, let the world know,
That our Mississippi is leading the show,
M-I-S-S-I-S-S-I-P-P-I

twenty-seventh bird

Back to school. Use traditional school materials like number 2 pencils or lined paper notebooks to make something nontraditional.


Chris came up with the concept for this one!
I used colored pencil shavings to make a picture. Chris wanted me to do a person's face, but my skill levels are depleted.

Awwwwwww......

It's so nice!

twenty-sixth bird

Dreamland. Use a recent dream as inspiration for what you do today.


The last dream I had that I can remember at all involved a little old man running around my apartment bending my blinds. I don't know why he was doing this. 

Here he is, peering outside.

And here is a close-up of the window.

mother bird

I made my mommy presents for Mother's Day. Here they are!

I also made her a card!

don't look a gift bird in the mouth

Most of my crafting time lately has been devoted to makin' stuff for folks. Which I can't post until after I've given them away.


So, here are some of them:

Josiah's thesis.

Zach's altered suspenders.

Zach's altered hoodie.

Random, supposedly Chinese proverb of the day: "A bird does not sing because it has an answer. It sings because it has a song."
