Day 30:

"Play time.  Work with toys: If you don't have any, borrow some from a friend with kids, and maybe even work with the kids!"

I wanted to celebrate a bit when I got to day 30.  Woot woot!  Unfortunately it happened Saturday and it is now Tuesday but I was excited to get to day 30 anyway. 

As soon as I read the instructions I immediately thought LEGO!!!!  I love building with Lego.  I hate stepping on the little pieces but it still is a staple in our home.  I made a tree with regular bricks and a few of the fancy shaped ones.  I wish I could have found more of the green rounded pieces that I think are used for Lego trees, but I liked how it turned out.

Day 29:

"Make a disguise for yourself, a friend, a pet, or and object.  See if you can fool anyone with it."

Let me start off by saying I am behind on posting again and will post up 3 today and 3 tomorrow.  I am trying to get in a rhythm for blogging after I have completed the projects but some days (especially weekends) my plan goes awry. 

Now onto the project:  I wanted to make a cool bird masquerade mask but I really didn't have any supplies so I drew a picture of one.  A bit of a cheat I am sure.  I coloured it with crayons.  I definitely didn't fool anyone with it.

Day 28:

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

I don't know if I exactly follow the instructions today.  I am not sure where the vision for this water colour came from.  perhaps it was a dream or something I witnessed once but I had a small sketch with colour labels in my idea book for sometime.  Like my bridge earlier it was just something I had in my mind to paint.  So here it is.

Day 27:

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

First let me say that this is actually Day 28's instructions.  For reason's beyond my control (a flood in my basement and house guest to boot) I needed something a little easier that what I had in mind for Day 27's actual instructions.  I will come back to it, hopefully tomorrow.

My materials were things I found in my son's room.

It is suppose to snow where I live tomorrow, maybe the first real snowfall for the area this fall, so in that theme I wrote 'LET IT SNOW' in the blocks of the graph paper and 'Let it snow" in cursive on the lined paper.  Then I folded them and cut some snowflakes.  These are the results.

Day 26:

"Make something portable (or that seems portable) that normally isn't."

Well I did a little sketch late last night but didn't have time to post it.  I decided to draw a little pencil cartoon of a guy carrying a tree.  Sort of portable shade and clean, cool air.  Of course we really can't carry around a tree but wouldn't it be nice if we could.
