Part Dos: Creative Juice.
My creative mojo has been on full-blast lately. I like to blame it on all the heat and peace of mind from the freedom of midterms and finals. But seriously? Throw me some saucy arts&crafts books, gimme a couple of hours in Michael's, and turn the TV to HGTV... and my creative juice starts flowin' hardcore.
K, that was a little graphic. I apologize.
So anyway, I originally posted these in saucydwellings and ourbedrooms, but I decided to document it here too so I can remember the whole crazy process.
THE LOVEBOAT PROJECT
So, after living in the same college apartment for three years, our mantle began to become a storage area for random collectibles. I decided it was time to start a project to clean up the area and help pull together the entire living space. So, I began my brainstorming...
First, I found this near a dumpster and thought I found gold! Dragged it up my stairs, and let it sit outside while I made my plans.
Then, started my painting...
Then, added my "LOVEBOAT" train...
And some rope and clothespins at the bottom...
Past and present residents (including pets!) of The LoveBoat (Sabiy&Kay's photo is missing):
And, the second story:
A closer look:
And the final product:
I'm thinking of adding some wheatgrass/flower action around the project to finish it off, but we'll see what I think of. :)
SIDE PROJECT: CADC AGENDA BOARD
Last year, I put together an agenda board for CADC to help keep us organized and on task during practices. It's been a year now, and although the brick walls were cool, I thought it was time to freshen things up. I really wanted to keep this a surprise for DC, but I thought I'd document this while I'm at it anyway.
BEFORE:
Brainstorming:
In the middle of the process:
And the final product!
I used a lot of paper, ribbon, and pieces of cork sticker to put this together. It took quite a bit of time to get it the way I wanted it, but I'm quite satisfied. The clothespins at the bottom are to hold fliers of upcoming events, photos, or our countdown before big competitons/performances and the right side is a whiteboard to write the agenda for the practices.
RANDOM THINGS
OUR BATHROOM:
What a difference a new shower curtain can make...
And, our new APARTMENT CALENDAR WHITEBOARD (clearboard?):
Super fun!
Oye. That was intense.
PEACE. \\//
