Make Something: Eye
Today’s suggestion from 365: A Daily Creativity Journal is to “make something inspired by and/or that goes over an eye (yours or someone else’s).” I decided to play with words […]
Make Something: Potato Stamp
Today’s order: potato topped with ink, with a side of creativity. We were out of regular potatoes, but I had a budding sweet potato in the basket. So I hacked […]
Make Something: Dollar
I may be too angry to post anything constructive this evening. But the “make something” theme—to create something using just a dollar—is so fitting, I have to follow through. For […]
Make Something: Microscopic
The instruction for the fourteenth day of making something is to go small. As small as possible. Microscopic even. I thought I had this one nailed. Driving home from a […]
Make Something: Tea
Today’s Make Something challenge called for tea in any form—leaves, bags, liquid. Tea is my fuel. As I typically drink two to three pots of it per day, we have […]
Make Something: Camouflage
Noah Scalin’s instruction for day 12 was to create or alter something so that it disappears into its background. As a mom, my mind was on my finest creations on […]

Make Something: Old Book
Today’s marching orders were to “transform an old book into something new by cutting, folding, gluing, and so on.” I know about altered books. I’ve seen beautiful examples, and I’ve […]
Make Something: Stencil
“Today, make a stencil and use it in your work.” Really? Just seven days into 365, I met this prompt with an eye roll. Cynicism. Already. But I’m all in. […]
Make Something: Fruit or Veg
Walk into your kitchen and grab the first fruit or vegetable you see. What can you make? If I had been hungry, I probably would have doused these little tomatoes […]
Make Something: Collected
Day 5 of Noah Scalin’s creative adventure challenged me to work with a collection found in my home. As I began to wander from room to room, I felt a […]
Make Something: For Another to Discover
For this fourth day of creativity, the challenge was to take a five-minute walk, then make something with whatever was at hand, wherever I wound up. The walk didn’t fit […]
