I have this pretty awesome mirror hanging in my living room – the 'frame' around it is a black and red bike tire! So why not add another little splash of colour in the shape of red half-stars? The reflection makes them perfect :)

Day 310 :: Monday November 5 :: Ottawa
Work only with items that would be found in a hardware store.
I really don't own a lot of 'found in a hardware store' items... These were made with the contents of a little catch-all jar containing odds and ends leftover items accumulated over the years. I didn't include nails as I've already used them in a prior creative assignment.

Day 309 :: Sunday November 4 :: Ottawa
Reinvent the wheel. Create something that can be rolled down a hill (with or without you riding in it) and try it out.
It's raining today, so I won't be venturing out to see how this rolls – but this is what custom wheels on my (non-existent) car could look like! This is only a few inches across, drawn on with a Sharpie Pen. Fun!

Day 308 :: Saturday November 3 :: Ottawa
Make something that you can only see properly from far away or at a great height.
This is a little weak really, but made this star off the side of the path where I went for a run earlier. I'm hoping it was visible from the other side of the canal!

Day 307 :: Friday November 2 :: Ottawa
Create something based on the shapes found in a plant in your immediate vicinity.
This is a rare time where I actually have a bouquet of flowers on my desk – yay reference! The centerpiece of the bouquet is a gorgeous sunflower. Have you ever stopped to take a good look at the centre of a sunflower? It's all perfect spirals from the centre outwards... very, very cool. This is my feeble attempt at the same type of spirals, using a variety of pop/juice cans and beer bottles. Not so bad really!

Day 306 :: Thursday November 1 :: Ottawa
What can you do with a pad of sticky notes?
The idea here was to cover a large area of wall with post-its then draw on them. However, the ones I got had weren't very sticky, and thus would fall randomly off the wall. This was about as large an area as I was able to cover (and I did pick up about half of these off the floor to re-stick them on the wall)... but as an aside, I do like how the random patterning of the notes looks a bit like fish scales.

Day 305 :: Wednesday October 31 :: Ottawa
Transform a piece of advertising so that is has a new message.
Happy Halloween! Years ago, my sister and I used erasers to 'deface' newspaper ads (it works soooo well!), so today was another little trip down memory lane as I turned this ad for Memorial University into one better suited to today. Fun!
