3301 - Do Over.

DAY 28 Who said there are no second chances? Pick any of your previous creations from this month and rework or revise it!

As soon as I posted my mask project last night, I knew I wanted a do over and I really wanted to help Oldest Miller with her mask. When I read today's prompt, I couldn't believe my luck. Right after breakfast...around 10:30 A.M...Oldest Miller and I got started. I suggested making paper masks, but she had her mind set on using a milk carton. I did the cutting and she did the painting. We only had 2 colors of acrylic paint available so we mixed in some puff paint as well. As Oldest Miller painted her mask, I worked on a mask for Littlest Miller who was sitting close by wanting to get in on the action. Littlest Miller's mask is a peacock. I did the cutting and most of the painting, but she helped with some of the design and painted the beak.

As we finished, Littlest Miller said that she wanted to be a peacock for Halloween and asked me if I was going to be a bird too. I told her that I was going to be a witch, so she decided that she would be my pet bird. We'll have to take a picture together if that is what she actual decides to do.

3300 - Masked.

DAY 27 Create a mask. Bonus: get a picture of yourself wearing it in public!

This morning Oldest Miller asked what my project was going to be; when I told her I need to make a mask, she got really excited because that was her homework for the weekend as well. She had some chores to do before we could work, but she choose to have a nap instead of doing chores, and we ran out of time to do art together. Therefore, I needed to find some other way to complete my project. I went movie with friends tonight, and brought with coffee filters to use as popcorn bowls. When I was finished with my popcorn, I used by “bowl” to make my mask, but ripping slits or the eyes and mouth, and then rolling the edges to make them open. As to not be rude during the movie, I waited until I was home to take the picture. Turns out I didn't get everything lined up correctly.

2174 - Pinkilicious Skull.

Yay, I am 2/3 of the way through my Skull-A-Day challenge!

Today is National Pink Day. To celebrate, I up-cycled a pink plastic shopping bag into a skull mask. My future brother-in-law was kind enough to model it for me. With the flash on, it looks like he has Silly Putty stretched over his face.
