We`ve got cat scratch fever and it`s spreading plague!
“Maybe they will stay away,” all the townsfolk pray!
but if you don`t follow this post once you log off, we`re done.
This is one plague you are going to want to share with the world, because it`s a good thing. A very good thing. You may even be tempted to steal some child relative`s art supplies. It`s just that cool, you`ll be able to ignore the indignity of it all.
We`re talking rainbows. We`re talking edgy and dark. We`re talking shadows and sunshine all rolled up and plopped on a page, vulnerable to my artistic interpretation and just begging to be twisted into this new scheme I`ve cooked up.
So, you may be wondering what a theme week even is. Here`s the rundown: every week, I find one theme, be it animal, mineral, vegetable, or other. I have to somehow represent that theme through three different original creations, each creation made with different media (media: in this case means different materials used to create stuff; so clay, paint, and fabric are all media.) So one week may be owl themed, and I`d carve an owl out of wood for a pendent, sew up an owl quilt, and capture some owls on canvas. The thing about this theme week is that I am in charge of it, so you know a lot of interpretations are going to be pretty vague or even, dare I say it, absurdly abstract. That`s just the way the cookie crumbles folks.
I happen to be a great fan of those little cards that are all matte black on the surface and force you to scratch through to reveal the shiny rainbow colors beneath. I’m such a fan I decided to show you! So, without further ado (trumpets blaring and drum-roll rolling) may I present the very first theme week`s theme: scratch cards!
And even a DIY scratchcard!
