Project #1 Something Small

Today's assignment was to make something that fits in the palm of my hand using materials in my immediate environment. (Remember, folks, I'm using Noah Scalin's book 365: A Daily Creativity Journal for this creative journey.)

I decided my theme is...LADYBUGS!!!  Thanks, Mom!  When I was little, she used to call my sister and me "Ladybug" instead of sweetheart or honey.  Those may have cropped up, too, but "Ladybug" was more frequent and meant a happier day.  Because of this, ladybugs have always reminded me of garage-hopping with Mom.

Enough sappiness, get with the craftiness!  My small project was to paint a Micro BlanksTM figurine from Target with a ladybug-esque look.

The stick came with the Micro Blanks kit.  It's great!  You use it to hold the figure while you're painting it.  No more paint all over your fingers!  Awesome!

This project took no more than an hour to create.  The outlining was the longest part.  It has taken much longer to get this post created.  Darn Google+ wouldn't upload my photos! Grrrr!  I ended up taking new pictures with my webcam.  Oh, well.  At least it's done and posted now.

Yea for the summer of creativity, day one!
