Wife and Artist Uses Play Doh to Create an Incredible Work of Art. Art isn’t just about fancy galleries, wine and cheese.
It’s about creating something out of nothing, no matter what medium you use. One busy wife and mother discovered that she used something every day with her children that could be turned into a work of art. It’s fun and it’s smelly: it’s Play Doh. This wife and mother decided to undertake an insane project, one that would last months and be based off of an image in her portfolio. And what would she use to make this masterpiece? She never had time to set up her studio and work on new pieces because of her three children, but she found a way to create art out of their toys. She began pressing their Play Doh into different colored dots, realizing she may be able to make a mosaic out of them. After being pressed, the Play Doh took a while to harden, so creative solutions had to be found. As it turns out, Play Doh can be mixed into a LOT of different colors. It took hours of arrangement. The kids pitched in, too. Free time meant DOT time.
