DAY 21 - WRITE A 10 WORD LOVE STORY ... AND ILLUSTRATE IT

How the devil do I write a leaf inspired love story? Hmmmm....

 ... Some time later, after much pondering...  Still Hmmmm....

 And after a nice cuppa.... Well here goes, its REALLY cheesy:


THEY ARGUED:
"LEAF ME ALONE"...
MADE UP:
"NEVER LEAF ME"...

Ahh, Bless...

However, heres a leaf relates love swtory of a different nature, - 10 words from a dog, and illustrated to boot!

DAY 20 - BUY OR MAKE SOME CLAY & GET CREATIVE!

This one sounds like fun -

DAY 19 - CREATE SOMETHING THAT FLOATS ON WATER

Right - this is one for the garden and try it out in the pool- if only it wasn't pouring with rain at the moment!
Think I'll save this one for later in the day, or another day when the weather is nicer and I can potter and fiddle about outside in the sun!

DAY 18 - WORK WITH THINGS YOU FIND IN YOUR CAR

Ahh, another tricky one to do on holiday. Attached is a pic of what was in our hire car:


So, we have a map and guide book of the region (neither of which can be de-faced) and a few brochures of tourist spots we visited, plus, strangely,  Tube map of London!!! At least there is one of the garden festival due to take place in a couple of days so lots of pics of gardens, flowers, etc.

I just decided today that  would create a collage of sorts, (again, difficult on holiday when you don't have any sellotape or glue,)  - hope you get the gist:

 Time to make: 20 minutes

Day 17 - MAKE SOMETHING INSPIRED BY OR THAT GOES OVER AN EYE

Will have to come back to his one!

DAY 16 - MAKE A PRINT FROM A POTATO OR SPONGE

Well I had to adapt this one once again as I had no fabric or paints, but i did have potatoes and a way of changing its colour, so heres the original potato leaf:
 And here it is being fried:
 Time to make: 10 minutes

DAY 15 - WHAT CAN YOU DO WITH A DOLLAR BILL?

I'm going to have to admit defeat on this one in one respect, (but I have found a way round it I suppose, IF you;ll indulge me!) I have no dollar bills here, and at the moment, in France I only have a rather large pile of Euro coins, no notes.

So, take a look at this Origami 4 leafed Clover video which is made from dolar bills,
or alternatively you could create something virtual like I did -  Create your own Dollar Bill - mine has a photo in the centre made of leaves (have to stick to the theme of course!)




I've had to take a photo of it on my computer screen then upload that as I have no printer here so excuse the quality

Time to do: 10 minutes
