A flip through the idea book is all it took to set Sydney’s creativity in motion. She loved a whimsical shadow box idea she saw and had to make her own.

Taking a box lid and some eye catching trinkets she found in the various material bins she set in motion to compose a little scene with a story to tell.

Looks like an ode to a favorite St. Bernard.

An idea can be such a strong force that no limitations can prosper.

On Samanta’s first visit to CReATE she strolled the studio taking in all the bins of materials and photo creations on the Wall of Wow when she was struck by an idea she was sure she could make!

She gathered a few socks, some fluff, a little basket and a piece of mesh that used to house potatoes! 

She set to work for nearly 2 hours rounding out her vision with paint and a few extras such as yarn to serve as an earthworm dinner that brought her Mama Blue bird and baby egg scene to life, art imitating nature.

Now that spring is here, with birds singing and flowers blooming we have natural inspiration calling out to us everywhere we look! The Conejo Valley Homeschool group who created many fun friday morning treasures in our workshops together made easy beauty from everyday plastic water bottles. A few snips in the plastic here, some craft paint there, a fluff ball,  some feather and of course hot glue were all they needed to create these fanciful flowers. 

The sight of these petaled wonders delights our eyes with their pop of brilliant color and fanciful layering with every glance!
