Jodie and I met via Skype for a crafternoon. Since it's Earth Day, we decided to craft with recycled materials. Jodie used cardboard and bottle caps for her project. I decided to start our Mystery Box #4 project ... a Christmas project. There were quite a number of recycled items in that box. I added a few more. So far, the recycled items I'm using are:
Oatmeal box
Peanuts can
Batting bought at a thrift store
Fabric from a child's dress
Nylon stocking
Styrofoam ball (not recycled, but old)
It looks like this project will take several days to complete, but I feel good about today's start. "What is it?" you ask? "Shhhh! It's a secret!" .
Jeanne stopped by to spend some time in the Studio with me. Today, we decided to color. Julie gave Jeanne a beautiful mandala coloring book for Christmas. Jeanne found a mandala with hearts for me to color. I used vibrant colors.
Jeanne chose a more pastel colorway.
While we colored, we chatted via Skype with Jodie. A lovely crafternoon was had by all.
