Beautiful Mess-Making

This year I’m posting three times per month: WORDS on the 3rd, PICTURES on the 13th, and
SOUND on the 23rd. This is my 5th installment of PICTURES.

Caution: Eye Candy Ahead

Today my goal is to spice up your inbox — and perhaps your project table — with intriguing possibilities.

Know any new grads or dads or friends who are going nuts at home? Need non-screen activities for the kiddos, or for your own pandemic-weary self? I’ve added a selection of new Fun Kits to my shop, filled with magical bits from my stash, for just that purpose.

May these photos whet your art-making (and gift-giving) appetite! Click each photo to find out which Fun Kit it relates to, and see the complete list at the bottom of this post.*

Bits like these can be found in 3 different kits.

Waste products can be beautiful, right?

I’ve got loads of how-to-mosaic videos on YouTube to help.

Sewing machines are fun, but you can do plenty without one!

Collage + Doodling = Colloodling, Or Doodlage.

You might find beads in your Fabric or Mini-Mosaic fun kits.

Paper, paint, glue, and found do-dads…

Oh, the things you can make with rusty hardware!

Get the kids involved.

Make visual music.

Try piecing together a fabric collage. Machine optional.

Piece by colorful tile piece…

My paper collection will delight you.😊 Pieces are included in three different kits.

Tools of the trade?

Wishing you peace in these strange times.

* Fun Kits are made up of mostly one-of-a-kind items from my vast and varied stash. The photos above do not show exactly what you will get in your kit, but give you a rough idea of the types of projects you can make with them. I aim to delight and inspire you with each purchase. 🤓

The following Fun Kits are available in my shop. I offer a range of prices to choose from, ‘cause I like to mess around with expectations, and ‘cause people’s financial situations vary wildly.

Paint & Collage Fun Kit - $15 - $35; shipping $5.50
Collage Fun Kit - $8 - $20; shipping $3.50
Fabric Art Fun Kit - $12 - $24; shipping $5.50
Garden Mosaic Fun Kit - $30 - $50; shipping $15
Mini-Mosaic Fun Kit - $15 - $35; shipping $10

Here’s to you. Happy Making, with whatever bits and pieces you use!
