Vol. 6, No. 7, February 21, 2026

Week 7

Day 43 - Edible
With juice from pickled beets, pea flower tea, and lemon juice, I made an array of edible paints. It was fun to mix the paints and watch them dry on the paper. I never really knew what the finally color would be.

Day 44 - Shadow
After a quick search online for 'shadow art' I decided to try this one. They did a snowman on a blue background which was cuter, but my trees on a scrap of green paper served my needs.
Day 45 - Heart Shaped
A piece of junk mail had a beautiful heart on it. Why work harder when you can use your resources?

Day 46 - Green
With green acrylics and a sparkly green crayon on green paper, a created a scraped paint painting.
Day 47 - Soft
I pulled out the soft pastels and created a stencil using a heart corner punch. I then stenciled directly onto the background paper for my collage. I forgot to take a picture of the finished artwork before I made the collage, so here is a picture of the stencil instead.

Day 48 - Broken
I thought of ways of adding something broken to my artwork, but I didn't have any good options readily available. That's when I found a piece of plastic and thought I would draw cracks over it to look like a broken screen. Ultimately I decided to put the cracked design on a piece of shipping tape so that I wouldn't have to do any gluing. The texture under the crack is from the silicone mat i put the tape on while I drew.
Day 49 - Stick
I burned the end of a stick and drew stick people.
