Tree of Hope
We could all use a little extra hope in our lives these days, would you agree?
Let's create some hope together.
You will create a tree on a separate sheet of darker paper, and then cut it out. You'll then attach bright hearts with string to the branches.
On each heart, you'll write something you wish or hope for . . .
Materials list:
- darker paper for tree
- scissors
- glue stick
- bright colored paper for hearts
- string and needle that fits
- small hole punch
- pen

Materials list:
- Gel plate or plastic place mat
- soft rubber brayer
- string, textured fabric, lace, corrugated cardboard, etc.
- paper or fabric for printing
- paper to roll off your brayer
- baby wipes

Loose Drawing Practice
Drawing can be one of those skills that intimidates us as creatives. Personally, the only way I enjoy drawing is when it is easy and fun. Let's try a few interesting drawing exercises together to quiet the inner critic and get our hands moving. There's nothing quite like seeing your own hands render something, even if it comes out wild and wonky!
Materials list:
- mixed media paper or larger drawing paper sketchbook
- Sharpie markers (2 of them) that work well
- ballpoint pen
- pencil attached to a stick (a chopstick or wooden dowel work well)
- colored pencils, markers, crayons, etc. for adding color
Tuesday, March 28
Free Form Spirals
Gather your floral wire, tin foil, or plastic bag strips. Let's wrap some spiral shapes with yarn and fabric strips. Feel free to add stitching along the way, too!
Materials list:
- Floral wire, tin foil, plastic bag strips
- fabric strips
- yarn
- needle and thread (optional)
- glue (fabric glue or Elmer's white glue)
