Still no clay, but I'm looking at it and thinking about it--which actually does mean something.
Create a bridge. Connect two things in a creative way. It could be small enough for an amoeba or big enough for an elephant to cross it.
Well, rather than make a bridge, I decided to think about connections. After a lot of hemming and hawing, I remembered that music connects people. Rather than torture anyone with music that I made myself, I thought I would "draw" two different people connected by music.
I'm playing with mediums and styles. Crayon + detail = not so good. It looked (slightly) better before I colored it, but I didn't think to document it half way through. In any case, here you go.
I'll let you fill in which music you think they're listening to. Also, drawing seated people is hard.
Make something small that you can hold in your hand with readily available materials.
__Ok, so I decided to make dinosaur cards, but experiment with using crayons and then heating the drawing(s) to alter the texture.
First Josie and I tried microwaving the crayons, but this didn't really do anything.
Solution! Ironing the drawings (with a wax paper cover)!
Attempt1:
Apparently, the rug is meltable. I didn't feel like pulling out the ironing board. CHAGRIN!
And, yes, it is now fused to the rug. Sigh.
Attempt2:
I didn't brush off the extra crayon bits beforehand. (I blame my extreme distress.) I actually like the T-Rex better.
Interesting how the colors melted, though.
I think that next time parchment paper will be better than wax paper.
Also, ironing boards will be better than rugs.
