Life has interrupted my craft....

I haven't given up on my project I just have been having some hardcore "life" stuff going on.  Don't fret my pets, I'm gonna do a huge catch up day in the next few days and rock out everything I've missed.  I love this project and "The Book" and am excited to get back to it.

Day 69 Giggle, Giggle

I went to lunch with Killah Bea and did some Sprouts shopping this afternoon.  Even had a good evening with ms Nicole and mr Geoff.  TV party alright!  The cherry on top of today is that I purchased Ruby's plane ticket so she can be here for the last Perversion at the Ruby.  AHHHHHH, memories! Those Hollywood clubbing days were grand.  It'll be nice to share the last one with my Sisterwife and all of the other old school ECE peeps.
Make a puzzle

Can you tell what the picture is?

Why it's Oogie Boogie of course!  Lemme tell ya, putting this back together was no picnic.

Day 68 Awww mannn!

I forgot to read ahead and didn't realize what today's project was.  I started it but there is no way it's gonna be ready by the time I go to bed.  Here is a "work in progress" shot for ya though.
Create something with papier mache.

Obviously, it's gonna be a hand.  What kind of hand is the question.

67 Syfy!!!!

Write a ten word science fiction story.
She was right. The Pugs were definitely from another planet!

Ok, back to the books!

Day 66 EPIC fail!

Go grocery shopping and pick up something new to work with.
Fail one... I couldn't make it to the market, I had school and studying alllllllll day.
Fail two... My "project wasn't dry by the time I went to bed last night so I* am a day late AGAIN!
Fail three...I tried to make a flower and it didn't work.

Stupid coffee filters colored with food coloring in a heap.

Day 65 Tangram

Work with only the classic tangram shapes.

My face kind of looks like a gnome to me.  This was harder to make a design out of than you'd think!

I started my project for today but it's still not ready.  Hopefully I'll get it done before I fall asleep.  It was weighing on my head so heavily that I missed my projects for a few days.  

Day 64 Self Portrait

It's all about you.  Incorporate yourself into whatever you make.

A self portrait that I took in the bathroom at 4 AM in the bathroom at Mandalay Bay.

Day 63 Viva Las Vegas!

I had a really bad week and decided last minute to go to Vegas this weekend.  I packed rather quickly and forgot to bring my laptop.   My blogger app on my phone wasn't working either so I had to wait to post my projects.  There's no rules right?  I got em done is all that matters.
Create a unique mask with whatever materials you like.

A Mardi Gras mask fashioned out of leftover slot machine vouchers.

Days 61 and 62 whoops!

yes, I missed a day again but I have a valid excuse.  Yesterday was the eight year anniversary of my Moms death.  On top of the emotional turmoil of the day I had a microbiology exam.  I studied all day and rocked the written part but bombed the practicum.  Today is a new day and I did both projects.  Onwards and upwards I say!
 Day 61
Use only things you find around the bathroom to create something.

A face made out of toilet paper rolls, q tips, and medical tape.  Luckily I keep a pair of scissors in the bathroom.

 Day 62
Make something with your dinner before you eat it.

It's a happy face kinda day!

Day 60 Shadow Puppets!

Make something that casts a shadow.

I've spent the day studying for my microbiology exam and had to cut my project short.

A gorilla.

A dove.

A dog, complete with tongue!

Back to the books!

Day 59 My Bloody Valentine

Another day of school.  I did a lot better in my lab than I did last week.  Serious studying is the plan for the next few days.  We have another test on Wednesday and I want to do well this time around.
Mix and match.  Work with two materials that generally don't go together.

Blood and roses! Ok, it's really watery paint and daisies.  I assume that this is what Dexter would give a gal on their first date.

Day 58 And it's Arsenal, Arsenal FC!

We woke up at the crack of dawn to go to Studio City to the Fox and Hounds to watch the Carling Cup with a TON of Arsenal fans.  My boyfriend and a few of his friends started an Arsenal supporters group called the OC Gooners. (That's an English soccer team for you yanks.)  Today we met up with the LA and San Diego guys for our largest viewing party yet!  150, 200 people maybe?  We won't discuss the result except to see we still have other silverware to get our hands on.
Make something as big as you possibly can.

Sean, Joshie, and I on our way to the pub.  Together we form one complete face!

Unfortunately I didn't get a picture when the pub was full.  It was standing room only and we were packed in like sardines.

Danny singing chants.

Some of the OC Gooners.  They're a bit dyslexic. 

Keith, Nick, Danny, KC, and ummmmmmm....

This is what I look like when we don't win!

Day 57 Punk Rock Ohhhh Yeaaahhhh!

We had a fun day shopping and eating lunch at Bodhi Tree.  Got some new creepers at Electric Chair.  Went to Best Buy for a charger for my camera and ended up getting a 32 in HD flat screen tv and a blue ray player that streams Netflix.  Yes, I did get the charger too. :P
Make a disposable plastic bag into something different.

A Dead Kennedys plaque.  The letters are made out of a cut up Stater Brothers bag.

Day 56 whoa, that's heavy...

Make something heavy seem light.
It's raining it's pouring.... Did some studying at the library today with Missy and grabbed lunch at El Torito.  Danny had to work tonight so Joshie, Jeff, and I watched a movie and chilllllled.  Another good day. :)

Josh holding up a 47 inch tv with his pinkie. Note the cupcake pj pants.

Day 55 a jingle?

Write a jingle about something found in nature.
I lazed around most of the day due to extremely sore muscles from my double work out yesterday.  Zeleste came over and we ate pizza and shot the shit all evening. Man, I can't wait until Vegas!  It's going to be EPIC!
Now as far as my project goes I don't have the means to make a commercial.  Ok, I do have a web cam but I didn't look ahead in The Book this week so I didn't have time to do enough planning haha.  

it's better than any drug,

will give you the best hug,

their eyes are like a bug,

buy a pug, 

buy a pug,

buy a puuuuuuuuug!

Day 54 Yoga is better than xanax.

I had the worst day in microbiology today!  We had to make gram stains.  I couldn't for the life of me get mine stained properly and spent the evening staring into a microscope at staphylococcus aureus trying to find my e. coli stain.  I worked on it for hours and came home so upset.  Forty minutes of Crunch: Candle Light Yoga and I feel like a milllion bucks!
Connect the dots.  Make something using only dots.

I didn't exactly do a project BUT this is what I was looking at all night and whadaya know... They're little dots. (Magnified staph, the picture is obviously borrowed because my microscope isn't that fancy.)

Day 53 Calgon take me away...

Honestly I did nothing today that would cause any stress.  I went to dinner with Baby Grrl and played catch up.
Just in case it is needed in the future I made something for relaxation purposes.
Make something in which the sense of smell is the essential component.

An aromatherapy eye pillow filled with dried lavender and chamomile.  

Day 52 Let them eat cake!

Work upside down.  Create something in such a way that you have to rotate it 180 degrees to display/see it when it is finished.
I was having trouble with todays prompt at first.  That is until I started craving something sweet.

Pineapple upside down cake! :)

Day 51 Sweeeeeeeet

Normally my straight pins sit in a metal tin looking mean and menacing.  Stabby little pieces of ouch.  Not today my friends, not today.
Make something that would not normally be considered cute and cuddly into something that is.

My pokey pins o' doooooom...

have found a new home as sprinkles in a cuddly little cupcake pincushion.

Complete with a cupcake wrapper adorned with skulls.  (That's my nod for the day to Noah.)

Day 50 Where the white women at?

Work with only white materials.
Seeing as that our one game took over three hours I had to be creative in what I would document as my project today.  So I give you game night with my white friends/family!

Quelf!  The most ridiculous game on the planet.  Danny had to put someone else's sock on his hand and make a sock puppet.  His name was Chester!  Josh and Cam hammin it up for the camera.

Chester + Josh = TRUE LOVE!

I had to stick a piece of paper to my forehead that said Quelf and leave it there the whole game.

Mummy Jeff!

Danny was not very pleased when he had to make a fort and sit under it until his next turn.

Such a great night!  This is certainly only a game for close friends and people that aren't afraid to make fun of themselves.  I really do have the best chosen family in the world.  Good night goon!
