This is a new Discovery Tote design I added to my shop this month. It was a custom order for a classroom in Australia. I really loved the way it turned out! The volcano is large, around 11 inches and the tote is an extra large size, measuring around 30 inches when open. This is great for multiple children in a classroom setting or at home.<br />

Some pictures from my most recent workshop with some 10-13 year old budding metalsmiths at the MAG. They have been incredible focused and have created some one of a kind pieces for themselves along with learning the skill of sawing and breaking blades and replacing blades and breaking and replacing without one compliant of the process!! Love this age group!<br />

Exploring drips and drops I have found this recurring shape in my work. I am working on some new pendant pieces that focus on more of a splat. This came about from a project I taught this past semester using ink splats and drips on paper then blew with a straw. We tapped into our inner Surrealist persona to "see into" the drips and create a series of images that were in the end identifiable beyond a drip.<br />

This is a video I shot for my MFA exhibition to play during the show. This is my husbands hands playing with the objects and a great friend Steve <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_0" class="blsp-spelling-error">Kostell</span> helped me edit the video. My committee was against me forgoing any type of cover over my work while my show was up because the <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_0" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">pieces</span> were not secure. I played the video to give the <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_1" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">viewer</span> an idea of how the objects could be manipulated. The coolest part of the playing the video was the sound that the vessels made. Although showing the video on a continuous loop stopped know one from picking them up and playing with them.........I even had some tiny 1" vessels that were shaped like spinning tops. In the end, nothing was stolen and I was happy with my choice. Like my kids tell me...."Life is multiple choice"!Shannon Duffyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04249399300768081173noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1328489732730773158.post-20156917096233188892011-04-05T08:25:00.003-04:002011-04-17T09:24:05.109-04:00Science Projects!!<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhGlx8l-5hILvwiqc8GMEPJ_uan5F-uhJBMxd4IkghUAjQns4i6FKMkQ19Ena50mJbokCpVOxvVbLBK-E_Zxn-wQQ9FEGoR8TnlTz6pbfYXHjOrlzLm-oc2hsfW3ZRGZ9JuiZA33cmVNuM/s1600/DSC05685.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center;

The kiddos were so excited about conducting some experiments in order to enter the school wide science fair this year. K grew egg geodes in order to see what would happen if we used plain tap water in one group and lake water in another group. We found that the lake water and tap water created interesting crystal growth but, the lake water seemed to create more interesting crystals. The chemicals were made into a "super saturation" and poured into clean, empty eggs about 4 weeks prior to the results were documented. If you want to know more details about the project..........send me an email and I can send you the process in length. Now, L (with my help) colored chicken scratch in order to see if chickens could see color. Most of all she wondered if they had a favorite color, a question she asks most people upon meeting. For five days we placed the colored scratch in pie tins and placed them out where we usually feed the chickens. At the end of each day we collected the tins and measured for the results. We found that chickens liked the regular scratch (variable) the most because <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_0" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">that's</span> what they were used to eating. Although, they ate more of the green out of all the colors, L determined that they liked green because it looked like grass! She's a smarty girl!! Best news: we are going to the county wide competition in a couple of weeks!! <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_1" class="blsp-spelling-error">Yay</span> Duffy scientists!! UPDATE: L TOOK 1ST PLACE AT THE COUNTY WIDE SCIENCE FAIR! AND K TOOK 3RD!! <br /><div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div>Shannon Duffyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04249399300768081173noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1328489732730773158.post-36285397689614999482011-03-08T14:24:00.003-05:002011-03-08T14:27:47.095-05:00Just the four of us...........<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh2ElMSH0NnwuhNBl6IeyD7Z5vQaJNWr5q2z7lE3Aw-bONQsE0VllDT0dl3MafNglr3qofv3KNL4jlhOS6c9LegCJRHKyS2RaZq6iMwBfOBcH5vNoytptW9MXDJT5u-d-iS2dcMOpQx25Y/s1600/DSC05470.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center;

Pretty exciting but heavy, since I was just gearing up for Christmas and my <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_1" class="blsp-spelling-error">etsy</span> shop was super busy plus I had birthdays on the brain. Both my kiddos have birthdays right after Christmas and I just run out of steam to say the least. So, I had planned my daughters tea party with the help of my mother in law! It was everything a six year old could ask for........although, the girls were monkeys instead of princesses, who would of thought? My son had a family party with bowling and pizza and he is planning to have a big outside party in the spring with a scavenger hunt and lots of boys. While all the planning and prepping was going on we had a litter of six sweet bunnies join our family! If you have been wondering why I have not posted since November, well this sorta sums it all up! I have been a bit overwhelmed with all the planning and teaching this semester but wouldn't trade it for the world! I hope to make some art one day soon...............<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><div></div>Shannon Duffyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04249399300768081173noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1328489732730773158.post-21008799068691579442010-11-01T17:13:00.003-04:002010-11-01T17:21:07.663-04:00Halloween 2010<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgyLwaX9zP0_MJuRsQbo7MGlgnwiPlqmz4JTy6_yospce-wfHIXlGrKIRcsdsQGTv8Cntt86ahc94na4pQcUa9-OlA9LS5TawNU78n9RP4aJD7k0QPIMqHChs0KGbtwz_ZyV-Pel0mimH4/s1600/DSC04825.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 300px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5534693574926480706" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgyLwaX9zP0_MJuRsQbo7MGlgnwiPlqmz4JTy6_yospce-wfHIXlGrKIRcsdsQGTv8Cntt86ahc94na4pQcUa9-OlA9LS5TawNU78n9RP4aJD7k0QPIMqHChs0KGbtwz_ZyV-Pel0mimH4/s400/DSC04825.JPG" /></a><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiRv5xlacaEybDTEBsUtJbNzDSF_h0qGY2ljTwb5aAEIyLnJewGBV2PGdLkQA8S4C_4o-8IStyS_3_dZ-tXSsWMlZfRqB7yQ8F-96yG9DLYOOgFer3PhG9RF95GMIe0Uuo9gmnuoa8FMOw/s1600/DSC04833.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 300px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5534693569263858722" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiRv5xlacaEybDTEBsUtJbNzDSF_h0qGY2ljTwb5aAEIyLnJewGBV2PGdLkQA8S4C_4o-8IStyS_3_dZ-tXSsWMlZfRqB7yQ8F-96yG9DLYOOgFer3PhG9RF95GMIe0Uuo9gmnuoa8FMOw/s400/DSC04833.JPG" /></a><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhOH3iNEQH1T6be_qQN3absj-8OPGPMxqPmobnZTdOLjqqZvtX4iRQqdPHX1tfrQER15chchA_8ZzImqql6YNUaH15IFAi86-CdxsOX3p9s3zaCevvQab-Dq2tEHe-RKANWPJW4GqkQUr0/s1600/DSC04821.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 300px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5534693565264314834" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhOH3iNEQH1T6be_qQN3absj-8OPGPMxqPmobnZTdOLjqqZvtX4iRQqdPHX1tfrQER15chchA_8ZzImqql6YNUaH15IFAi86-CdxsOX3p9s3zaCevvQab-Dq2tEHe-RKANWPJW4GqkQUr0/s400/DSC04821.JPG" /></a> Hope everyone had a fantastic Halloween!

Long time.......since I've seen you here on my blog. Life is keeping me hopping to say the least! Just wanted to pop in and let you know about some exciting news........... I was contacted about a month ago by the editors of Stitch Magazine to send them one of my totes to get photographed for the fall issue. I just received a copy of the issue and there I am on page 18. This is such a cool magazine! The photography is beautiful..............plus... it's packed full of all kinds of stitchy information..........besides the fact that I am featured inside, I highly reccomend picking up a copy!<br /><br /><div></div></div></div>Shannon Duffyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04249399300768081173noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1328489732730773158.post-44776302186323077622010-07-19T09:24:00.008-04:002010-07-19T10:33:15.479-04:00The Slow Days of Summer........<img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center;

The desire to home school and the need to have time to make art will flow through my mind a million times over and over....... the summer is slowing to an end but not without making lots of memories....</div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div>>>>>We joined a local organic co-op this summer that has become the highlight of our week! The kids have experienced life on a farm by milking cows, chasing piglets and feeding the horses. Each week our basket is full of fresh organic blackberries and veggies of all sorts! We have made some great friends too. </div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div>>>>>Our chickens are growing up and we check every morning for eggs.....not yet. The bunny has decided to live under the chicken coop and amazingly enough the chickens don't mind.</div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div>>>>>We all have been playing golf together in the early evenings after the temp. has cooled a bit. It has been a little frustrating for me since I haven't picked up a club in about 8 years. I'm hanging in there.</div><div>>>>>We have had time for lots of craft projects and I have been working on making my kids lunch Eco-friendly by making re-usable snack bags and napkins. Time has allowed me to make some new clothes for my children and work on some domestic sewing too! </div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div>>>>>Weekend trips to Louisville to see what traffic is like and enjoy some time with family!</div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div>>>>>Started a butterfly and moth collection. Which is sometimes sad for my sweet L.....she has to spend time with them before we put them in the freezer.</div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div>>>>>Weekly trips to the library to get out of the heat! (oh, and the occasional snow-cone after)</div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div>>>>>In the fall, I will be teaching a class for Murray State......Elementary Art Ed. which I am very excited about!! Now I am planning my projects and working on my syllabus............. </div><div> </div><div> </div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div>Hope you are enjoying your summer making memories too!!<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /></div><div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div>Shannon Duffyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04249399300768081173noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1328489732730773158.post-62941425184600863512010-06-04T16:16:00.005-04:002010-06-04T17:09:29.166-04:00Beach Time!<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg-4ZHDCKVbf_xRTKtQMmw4ynRVCHzuXuiD_IV2wNi823S7DJUPnbgMnS_Pz2qL0u6jzDFE0sGBoKY2lKbs5CwUAUmV0JGMwzEnl3rqhUvtiqXXII8GUIoTvyCek0sJSeCYYkYyWqNNCVM/s1600/DSC04052.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center;

They finally have a place to call their own. It took about three, half days one of which we worked in the rain. I didn't get to take pics on that day, sorry. This project cost all of 245.00........it's completely made from pallets and recycled wood from an old building and playground. The <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_0" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">linoleum</span> flooring was given to us by a friend and the paint was a <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_1" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">miss</span>-tint from <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_2" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">Lowe's</span> that cost 5 bucks. On the inside I made the perch ladder with rondo found at my husbands golf course which works perfect! There is a door at one end where my daughter is standing that opens up for raking the bedding and cleaning..............and oh, the most important part...egg collecting!! I know what you are saying...."it looks kinda big!" Well, we have 4 chickens and two are <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_3" class="blsp-spelling-error">silkie</span> bantams so they have plenty of room and we can add about two more chickens to the flock! We have added the nesting boxes made from milk crates and the food and water. Whatcha' think?<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div>Shannon Duffyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04249399300768081173noreply@blogger.com17tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1328489732730773158.post-10694025043817937882010-05-01T13:47:00.006-04:002010-05-01T14:12:39.372-04:00Recent Happenings.........<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEge6YiLGFNn2xBf4kXX0edaqzBOADLX6EMuv9V1mOjqDI2Mw5yB7GWzCeeC8K5y-kYTo5dkN95_I6HuqucbFq8cSYmHFL4KdAmQ6j3qSFJ565p3mWg_MNSJyjLQgQLKGosT604D8rXrcD4/s1600/DSC03537.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5466364619909941602" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEge6YiLGFNn2xBf4kXX0edaqzBOADLX6EMuv9V1mOjqDI2Mw5yB7GWzCeeC8K5y-kYTo5dkN95_I6HuqucbFq8cSYmHFL4KdAmQ6j3qSFJ565p3mWg_MNSJyjLQgQLKGosT604D8rXrcD4/s400/DSC03537.JPG" /></a><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhcHsbngdammBBrZOhbC-_Wbdy0AszKkurf_ozxEcF0eHFdAXnOjTLpQwMRRiNGBtwzCebAtu3uwEa6wCnqJZCPN2iL3RtEv4RisReGEtqSrmXxHCPVUfzb-zOKS4hhlN7o_Dpk7I1D8GI/s1600/DSC03464.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5466364607810983490" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhcHsbngdammBBrZOhbC-_Wbdy0AszKkurf_ozxEcF0eHFdAXnOjTLpQwMRRiNGBtwzCebAtu3uwEa6wCnqJZCPN2iL3RtEv4RisReGEtqSrmXxHCPVUfzb-zOKS4hhlN7o_Dpk7I1D8GI/s400/DSC03464.JPG" /></a><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhixd2lxzVeQyottslBbpI-MS4DkLjTaEf3AlZzTHCXYMDV628Uq0p-ciarQFyDvLQ5VtM4eNx04KC-mQJxKPlXA-u_DNKKcznCIOtP3sE80UU0cVnhLg-HSIKkBqagIJdMR-bBnbMxUIU/s1600/DSC03294.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 300px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5466364600593637842" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhixd2lxzVeQyottslBbpI-MS4DkLjTaEf3AlZzTHCXYMDV628Uq0p-ciarQFyDvLQ5VtM4eNx04KC-mQJxKPlXA-u_DNKKcznCIOtP3sE80UU0cVnhLg-HSIKkBqagIJdMR-bBnbMxUIU/s400/DSC03294.JPG" /></a><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj_9tDhxMFf8jGQf_QXjItZJ036jr5r2eB_hGsqHOFVymONkUo5oIj0fdUZkV_BQhhIWsaldWOaURmfSQ-ifng9PjRIcsky4GRE7LEoZzJoYKxtU4XZNu_i9ERR16IzXVweK5QcaUKK0xA/s1600/DSC03276.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 300px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5466364595035569298" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj_9tDhxMFf8jGQf_QXjItZJ036jr5r2eB_hGsqHOFVymONkUo5oIj0fdUZkV_BQhhIWsaldWOaURmfSQ-ifng9PjRIcsky4GRE7LEoZzJoYKxtU4XZNu_i9ERR16IzXVweK5QcaUKK0xA/s400/DSC03276.JPG" /></a><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi6XAcbCkBZAt4Nn8Yeecmt8wJ7WMxzriIwrjKTxwbxDGZ9c-m3e8qakVzXLgVTuX-deNRDbDMHBfeHV_BK6RuN7RTFfaFmb7GOiBNgb5XeoWI9yVEEWmarzvQRABLrDXmOqQErf-ljdA4/s1600/DSC03391.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5466364581136611202" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi6XAcbCkBZAt4Nn8Yeecmt8wJ7WMxzriIwrjKTxwbxDGZ9c-m3e8qakVzXLgVTuX-deNRDbDMHBfeHV_BK6RuN7RTFfaFmb7GOiBNgb5XeoWI9yVEEWmarzvQRABLrDXmOqQErf-ljdA4/s400/DSC03391.JPG" /></a> Well Hello!

Well, the answer in short is......spring! I love spring! We have been busy working in the garden, starting some seeds inside, preparing the backyard for a cool play area for the kiddos.........and we have chicks! We have three right now but I plan on adding a couple of <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">silkie</span> chicks when they are available. Right now we have a Buff <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">Orpington</span>, Rhode Island Red and a Rock Barred. They are so cute and growing super fast! Learning all I can about raising chickens and can't wait for our first eggs....most likely late summer.<br />I didn't get a chance to blog about our trip to St. Louis.....I did the Indie Craft <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">Revolution</span> there at the Art Guild. We made a family trip of it, although, I worked most of the time, I still managed to have some fun! The show went good, I got lots of "your so clever" which is the most common thing people say about me/my work. I made tons of new stuff and have not been able to set aside the time to take photos of for my store. This week. Anyway, I <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3">apologize</span> for being gone for so long and I hope you all are having a productive spring too!<br /><br />IN THE WORKS: I am working on creating a short animation using my work. This was a suggestion from Jesse Kuhn of <a href="http://rawtoastdesign.com/">Raw Toast Design</a> whom I met at the show. His work is pretty amazing too!<br /><br /><br />Have a great day!Shannon Duffyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04249399300768081173noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1328489732730773158.post-80456143089673531002010-02-20T10:50:00.007-05:002010-02-27T22:24:47.197-05:00PBS interview<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjrkhhvOM6PbrEx_JVA0FkD_bk0Fu476nfPAB3RbK-QHc4N89gQHAKXb01QOoLRGGCzdneG3vjTDiwQdu_OmBH91rWRuUifXgJl-BcU2uJ-YcsQpnAtCdFQyzmm-aMoj1DUZthdrgnYAo0/s1600-h/DSC02185.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5440355544953057154" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 300px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 400px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjrkhhvOM6PbrEx_JVA0FkD_bk0Fu476nfPAB3RbK-QHc4N89gQHAKXb01QOoLRGGCzdneG3vjTDiwQdu_OmBH91rWRuUifXgJl-BcU2uJ-YcsQpnAtCdFQyzmm-aMoj1DUZthdrgnYAo0/s400/DSC02185.JPG" border="0" /></a> Shortly after moving to Kentucky......before I was even totally unpacked.......I received an email from KET about doing an interview with me. Of course, I was super excited, so regardless of not being completely settled....I agreed. Not being with outsome personal issues....after moving my studio from a lovely 300 sq.ft. space to a laundry room that I had to share with a washer and dryer and dog bowls. Needless to say the space was small and cramped. The KET producer assured me this would not be an issue. And it really wasn't......most of the shots were of me and my work. The shots of me actually working were cropped in very tight. The whole interview process took about 5 hours with the actual segment being about 6 minutes. The crew was great and the producer really knew what he was doing in order to complete his "vision" with the piece. It was a really great experience so I hope you will catch it tonight on <a href="http://www.ket.org/kentuckylife/1500s/kylife1512.html">KET</a> at 7pm or tomorrow at 3:30 and 6pm.<br /><br /><br /><br />Special thanks to Catie Bates who kept my children occupied throughout the day!!!Shannon Duffyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04249399300768081173noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1328489732730773158.post-48911545509258474792010-02-08T15:22:00.005-05:002010-02-08T16:34:03.699-05:00Check This Out!!<a href="http://rikrakstudio.blogspot.com/2010/02/let-voting-begin.html" target="_blank" border="0"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2762/4340704309_9b417c1737_o.jpg" /></a><br /><br /><br />I just found out about this very cool nomination over at rikrakstudio's <a href="http://rikrakstudio.blogspot.com/2010/02/vote-event-2.html">blog</a>!

You have to have a Flickr account to do this......everyone should have a Flickr account anyway!! Flickr is the best! So, the first image was the "medium" selection and the second picture is the "large" view that I had to make smaller so I didn't cut my daughters head in half. I will continue to play around with this process but I like being able to have more control over the image size that the options offered by Blogger. Thanks Pip!.....if you want to learn how to make your images larger on your blog head over to Meet Me At Mikes and check out the <a href="http://meetmeatmikes.blogspot.com/2010/01/how-to-make-your-images-appear-bigger_24.html?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+MeetMeAtMikes+%28meet+me+at+Mikes%29">tutorial</a> plus tons of other really cool stuff.Shannon Duffyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04249399300768081173noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1328489732730773158.post-81028575792400679172010-01-15T09:11:00.005-05:002010-01-15T09:54:30.309-05:00Toilet Paper Roll Art<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj7VU8inavci3n0HcrYY4aUsmOY1pmWkBOdgDST1cp9t1dQCtTs9i9ETz08hxaNPvC32Ixcjm0dKopgQDcEEYYmNo8FE0th5Bek9j7CJLlzYfuK0cmSukWYHfhHtFdul8MVmc9Dt_Fkse8/s1600-h/DSC02925.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5426971937785458386" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 300px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 400px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj7VU8inavci3n0HcrYY4aUsmOY1pmWkBOdgDST1cp9t1dQCtTs9i9ETz08hxaNPvC32Ixcjm0dKopgQDcEEYYmNo8FE0th5Bek9j7CJLlzYfuK0cmSukWYHfhHtFdul8MVmc9Dt_Fkse8/s400/DSC02925.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhoxRskLY4l_lmYUYZAq0IivWG1oiUGisfQUiIrWa9rpMYykW49ss2wjFd-xnqZh6FqFI8b2OpMUJ-VsMVuTyckLcdqNwFSB-c5BoDNoTAZ5Gv2BaZ5TxrGpdEMhNGYXa5KS0oG1ITisY0/s1600-h/DSC02921.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5426971929780018322" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 289px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 400px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhoxRskLY4l_lmYUYZAq0IivWG1oiUGisfQUiIrWa9rpMYykW49ss2wjFd-xnqZh6FqFI8b2OpMUJ-VsMVuTyckLcdqNwFSB-c5BoDNoTAZ5Gv2BaZ5TxrGpdEMhNGYXa5KS0oG1ITisY0/s400/DSC02921.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjUDTnVCuNjEdBfjoigBLqFb7vGiz4OKXs0WHDuBPKPIeAtmmRvwum8nqcTfsItyTSgpNsyROfVAkC73-sGArLkvC4Berp_M_79E37aASvhoVIaKeGnQVwz5Ch-1xHv5W1EbzwoXDG7awE/s1600-h/DSC02939.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5426971925828234066" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjUDTnVCuNjEdBfjoigBLqFb7vGiz4OKXs0WHDuBPKPIeAtmmRvwum8nqcTfsItyTSgpNsyROfVAkC73-sGArLkvC4Berp_M_79E37aASvhoVIaKeGnQVwz5Ch-1xHv5W1EbzwoXDG7awE/s400/DSC02939.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhFS72CeLsRqFc92rrfZTeLwhIyo-wPpOY5wRSJEjcz5RIqc-MU1b5tbieV9MMW-BawyiErfPiZs0ed1altn4ewD7IhtpOAjSpKYItJ454eIsshPXmX-uJi0bPYEivqBUtUF61-ZNFF-YU/s1600-h/DSC02931.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5426971917486845362" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhFS72CeLsRqFc92rrfZTeLwhIyo-wPpOY5wRSJEjcz5RIqc-MU1b5tbieV9MMW-BawyiErfPiZs0ed1altn4ewD7IhtpOAjSpKYItJ454eIsshPXmX-uJi0bPYEivqBUtUF61-ZNFF-YU/s400/DSC02931.JPG" border="0" /></a> So, my daughter has been collecting toilet paper rolls.......I ask her what her plan is and she just tells me they are telescopes and they are for sell! Well, this weekend I was browsing the DIY section of Design Sponge and came across this cool project. Basically, you just cut the rolls in equal parts then glue them together to create this organic wall sculpture. I thought it was the perfect solution to the toilet paper roll collection...she agreed! Here we are working together on gluing the parts together ( just with white glue) and deciding on our layout. She opted for flowers... of course. I thought it was fun and a quick result project to do with kids, not to mention the recycling lesson. We thought about painting it but we would like to add some more at a later time. Maybe in the end it will get some color.
