December 2010. Here are a couple of cards I made just before Christmas, but am only just getting around to showing.

December 2010

They both use images from Fairydoodler and papers from The Clipart Fairy. The first one is my entry to Fairydoodlers latest challenge, using her freebie image, her digi stamps are gorgeous, make sure you pop over and check them out. I coloured the image with water colour pencils, unfortunately I'm not brilliant at the whole colouring in thing and intend to spend some time this coming year learning how to be better, especially as Santa brought me all those Aquamarkers.

The paper and letter J came from the Rose collection on Clipart Fairy's Modern Heritage Double CD Rom, which is full of elegant papers, alphabets, inserts, ideas and tutorials.

Mechanisms & automata‬‏ Physics Toys, Tricks and Teasers. The Frugal Physicist's Demo Collection,by Donald E.

Physics Toys, Tricks and Teasers

Simanek Fun projects you can build from everyday materials at small expense. The web has many sites featuring easy-to-make physics toys, and many books of them may be purchased. In this document I feature curious and puzzling items that are not so well known, and some of my own invention. Some of these are not exactly clear-cut demos of physics principles, but are fun things to do. [May, 2004] Students best understand light spectra when they can do hands-on investigation of spectra of common light sources. The Geissler tubes are rather expensive now, must be handled with care, and have limited useful lifetime. Direct visual observation of light sources through a diffraction grating cannot resolve fine details of the spectra, because of the angular breadth of the source.

Fortunately there is an easy way around these problems. Designoriginals123's Channel‬‏ BeyondBracelets's Channel‬‏ Maths2art: using art to teach maths ~ Using maths to create art.

Miandza's Channel‬‏ Do Try This at Home! Episode 9 - Toyland‬‏ 0697. 2 torial #0697: Learn 2 Make Homemade Paper The press is on!

Bring the paper chase home to roost. Making your own paper is fun, easy, and a delightful project for the weekends. Note that this 2torial won't teach you to make printer-quality office paper (although you can recycle used office paper to make your own new paper)--it'll teach you to create pages of personalized pulp upon which to pen your powerful sentiments. Historically, the best papers in Europe were first made from a processed sheep, goat, or calf skin. Most paper products today, from newspapers to packing boxes, is made from wood pulp, a poor-quality fiber requiring glues and bleaches to be added. The quality of paper is largely based on the fibers used. Use scrap paper which contains a minimum of writing and printed ink on it. Sand – Creative Mixing and Sand Pictures (Weekly Unplugged Project)

This week’s Unplugged Project theme of sand was inspired by the giant pile of sand that we have near our swing set.

Sand – Creative Mixing and Sand Pictures (Weekly Unplugged Project)

We had it brought it in to spread around the swing set area to soften the crash zone and also to control weeds. I thought my children would have a lovely time spreading the sand nicely throughout the area. Wrong. My children have a lovely time playing on the pile of sand and don’t want it spread out! Oh well, for now we will leave it as is. I had all kinds of cool sand ideas, but my kids had their own idea so I just let them go with it: mixing. First we scooped some sand into containers and brought it in. Broadcast Yourself. Basics. My Daily Bead Jewelry Making Ideas and Tutorials.

I have always wanted to try making paper so I confess, that is why I chose the theme flat for this month’s Unplugged Project (paper was already taken).

Homemade Recycled Paper – “Flat” Monthly Unplugged Project

We finally did it and it was so fun! I am also fairly proud of our efforts because we recycled not only a lot of used printer paper and newspaper, but also a picture frame which became our deckle. It is amazing what you can do with old picture frames! This paper was fairly brittle and could never be used for wrapping, however it would make nice note paper or scrapbooking paper.

Also, don’t expect a smooth, fine paper. Ocean – Sandpaper Transfers (Weekly Unplugged Project) This week’s Unplugged Project theme was ocean.

Ocean – Sandpaper Transfers (Weekly Unplugged Project)

Not having anything in mind when I chose the theme (it was the first thing that popped into my head as I wrote last week’s post), I decided we should try an art technique that I have been wanting to experiment with for some time. Well, my plans fell through a bit. The two oldest were invited to a sleepover tonight and the little one needed to go to bed, so I decided to go solo on this week’s Unplugged Project. I am not sure what this is called, but I call it “sandpaper transfer.” Fluffy – Pom Poms for Peace (Weekly Unplugged Project) This week’s Unplugged Project theme (fluffy) was not premeditated, it just popped into my head.

Square – Picture Frame Loom (Weekly Unplugged Project)

While at Walmart the other day I saw $2.00, 8″ x 10″ oak picture frames, and had a random thought. I wondered if it would be possible to turn a picture frame into a loom. These are the kind of odd random thoughts that I have from time to time. Unplug Your Kids - Part 11. Mmmmm… cupcakes. Looks good, doesn’t it? This photo is quite deceptive. We have not been baking.

Elodole's Photostream. Kekremsi's Photostream. Masters of Paper Art and Paper Sculptures, Part II. Over time, people have been using ordinary things revolving around us to create something unusual out of it and for example a very basic material such as paper. You may assume that papers in connection with arts is only restricted to drawings, sketch, or something creative like origami but those are understatement because there are plenty more that paper master can create by just using papers.
