Use a toothbrush and/or toothpaste as the central component of, or inspiration for, what you do today.
Happy Thanksgiving! I'm celebrating with friends today as my family is a little too far :( Toothbrushes and toothpaste were definitely used post-massive turkey dinner, but I thought it would be more fun to add one to my second serving of pumpkin pie.
Imagine you are an animal and work as that animal would today (using four legs and a tail, with flippers, underwater, etc.).
Take a cute picture of two bearded dragons sleeping.
Hmm, okay!
And a related funny story – I'm spending Thanksgiving with a friend's family, and my basement futon is set up between the bearded dragon enclosure and an aquarium. At night, the crickets (future bearded dragon dinner!) and the noise from the aquarium's water pump make it sound like i'm sleeping beside a river. Fun! :)
Work with balloons, inflated or deflated. You could even use one as the base for papier-mâché, cover it in glue-coated string (let dry, then pop the balloon), or...?
Okay, I admit these are not balloons. They just look like them! They are the table favours from a good friend's wedding, and as much as I would have loved to try the glue-coated string idea, it will have to wait for another day. Wishing you a lifetime of happiness, Gord and Jess! :)
Be monumental. Make a monument to a mundane event, place, or person. Create a design for it or actually build it.
Ode to Friday : a pint glass monument made out of a beer pack box.
Create something inspired by a piece of spam e-email you (or something you know) has recently received.
Time to put those 'claim your Nigerian inheritance!' spam emails to good use! This giant novelty cheque (size: 36x16.5 inches!) was so much fun to make, and maybe I'll take it to the bank and see what happens... Haha!
If you could do or be anything in the world, what would it be? Make something as if you were actually doing or being it.
I can't wait for winter to be here... I miss snowboarding! And yes, that's a snowboard-shaped USB drive :)
Flip through an almanac or spin a globe and put your finger on a random location. Then research the place and make something based on it.
I don't have either an almanac or a globe... but was thinking back to my trip to Italy last year... so I made myself some leftover italy-inspired pasta for a late night snack. It was perfect with a San Pellegrino, and only missing some gelato for dessert.
