Wood Pieces


2012

Wood is always a good material for building a home, so why not use it on a home for  feathered friends.

The wood pieces bin provided Julia with all kinds of scrap bits for puzzling together an eye-catching surface on a kleenex box frame. Some film strips on the roof will help whisk any rain or dew drops away when the house is nestled in a tree outdoors.

The golf tee made a perfect perch for sitting and singing the day away or heading indoors for some cozy home time.

Fernando’s Pillow Monster is as charming as they come.

Crafted from an inspired idea to make a monster pillow Fernando searched the fabric bin for just the right soft stuff to make his vision real. Hot glue joined the vision together for a roaring monster man. So cuddly cute!

Cardboard Sheets

Talk about up cycling! Cardboard can be so much more than layers of  compressed paper…

 Once a  giant furniture box packed with a chair , the box for this creation was cut down to become many nice sheets of cardboard ready to put together in just the right way for whoever would use it.

Annie and Keylie thought it was the perfect material  for a project they planned to collaborate on. They turned a few sheets they gathered into a nice cozy home for a little cork family. Once the structure was made they worked on all the important amenities, a roaring fire, a little baby in a crib, nice big windows, a loving family dog and a pretty table and table cloth with a good book. The house was made and happy. What a nice place to spend their time, but do be quite, the baby is sleeping.

Seeing the possibilities in the everyday, that’s what we do at CReATE.

For Alexa, a fruit cup container was a natural lead to the head of a doll she was making. It gave her just the right space for facial features with buttons and a fabulous do of yarn!

In minutes she created a little friend that boosts her confidence in her abilities and makes her smile wide.

Shredded Paper

Love makes the world go around, that’s what’s been said.

It’s the sentiment that Gwynn wanted to share with her shredded paper creation that simply says, Love.

She was inspired by  something she saw in the studio so she made her own interpretation with a bit of shredded paper, some white glue and a touch of sparkle.

Well said Gwynn!

LOVE
