DAY 90 - Pinata

TITLE: Mouse Pinata
ASSIGNMENT: Make a pinata and destroy it.

MATERIALS: White printer paper, push pins, clear tape, gum candy from the Daiso store.


INSPIRATION: The display of what a pinata contains; the meaning of it all.  The paper, the poking, the candy.  Did you REALLY think I was going to make an ACTUAL pinata? ;)

DAY 89 - Packing Materials

TITLE: PACKING PEEPS
ASSIGNMENT: Work only with bubble wrap or any other packing materials you have on hand.

MATERIALS: Packing peanuts, sharpies, folded piece of white paper.

INSPIRATION: Those packages of yellow peeps made of pure sugar that you see every Easter, that could and will survive nuclear war?  Well this is a twist, packing peeps, only they are pissed since they don't have a holiday, only the task of cushioning the shipped goods that people send.

DAY 88 - Workplace

TITLE: Robot Homicide

ASSIGNMENT: Make something using only stuff from your workplace or office.  If you don't work, use items that are usually found in an office.

MATERIALS: Erasers, pencils, push pins.

INSPIRATION: The robot was the easy part, until it began to fall apart as I pushed the pencils into the erasers numerous times, then, piece began to fall off.  Hmmm, what do I do now?  Why turn it into a crime scene of course!

DAY 87 - Candle

TITLE: Monk Beheading the Blood Beast

ASSIGNMENT: What can you do with a candle?  Try using the drips from a lit candle to make an image, or use an unlit one to draw on a porous surface, then make the image appear with watercolor or ink.  Or, as always, feel free to experiment.

MATERIALS: White candle lit, paper, black pen, red sharpie.

INSPIRATION: I wanted to make the beast come off the page with the wax, so lots of candle build up. Then coloring its face red and the final touch, the sideways lighting making he dried wax droplets seem like tiny rocks.
