Wood Blocks

Ever been someplace that you wanted to recapture, to visit again and again?

I think we all have and so had Matson.

He’d recently been to Universal Studios and had a blast watching the Water World show so, when he saw all the different  blocks and wood pieces in the wood pieces bin at CReATE he got inspired to recreate the scene that brought him so much joy.

He took his time in setting the scene he remembered so well, complete with a pulley, water, stage and house  so that when he was done we could all almost hear stuntmen huffing and puffing across building tops and waterways during a live action show!

Happy Fathers Day!
That’s what Grace said to her Dad with this fabulous rendition of him using yarn scraps, fabric bits, old glasses and other reused goodies at CReATE!

Molded Cardboard


2012

Sometimes the creations on display in the studio spark  inspiration. This was the case for three 7 year old boys at a birthday party this weekend. They saw a 4th Grade mission sample on the wall and that was all it took to jumpstart their imaginations for a collaborative mission of their own making. They used molded cardboard pieces as the mission itself making an instantly cool structure! To accent their work they made little cork tree’s with mesh vegetable bag leaves for toppers.

 

What fun it was to watch them work, formulating and calculating their building process. Even better were the smiles on their faces at their achievement!

Metallic Paint

Gabby likes pretty colors, so when she found metallic pink, purple and blue acrylics she knew she had to make a

grand scene.

Boxes and tin containers set the stage for  a pretty castle structure while fancy trimmings helped give this castle it’s regal flair. The tiny treasures made for perfect inhabitants.

What a fancy place to live!
