What Craft In Place is all about…. →

Crafting a logo can be tricky, especially if your client is trying to distill a lot into a small space. Thank goodness @mydrawnpictures is a patient being with a steady eye & a heart for what matters. Have you purchased one of his fundraising tees yet? Go get one!

Now that you have had 6 weeks of flexing your creative muscles we have a challenge for you! 👉On your marks, get set and prepare to make: The 2020 Summer Olympics have been canceled in Japan, but they have been relaunched in your house! Design and build 5 made up sports or real sports for you and your housemates or family to compete in. Bonus points if you make award medals to give to the winners! 🥇 🥈 🥉

The Togetherness Project is popping up in people’s windows across town, SF, LA, & beyond! 👁 Have you seen one in your neighborhood?

Using everyday items & play can be a tool to share, explore, and express feelings & emotions. Playing over Zoom, I used the Face Off curricula to explore facial expressions & feelings with two 5 year olds (photos taken by them) ✊🏿✊🏾✊🏽✊🏼✊🏻This video, though, accurately sums up how many feelings I’ve been feeling lately. I’ve been feeling a mixture of outrage, sadness, inspiration, motivation, nervousness & love. Outraged by the systemic injustices, saddened by the trauma & pain, inspired by activists working for change, motivated to be actively anti racist, nervous for the future, and love for the entire world. 🌎 How are you feeling?

🎨 Making things can be about curiosity , play, therapy, release, exploration - it doesn’t have to be about the end product, but about the journey! 🌧 This rainy day is a perfect time to dig through the recycling bin & use one of the many free Craft In Place ideas! Each one can be adapted & all lesson plans are available on our website.

Bored of your board games? Transform an eggcarton into a Mancala game board, or use the lids from yogurt containers as little fribees and see if you can toss them onto your bed from the hallway. What games can you create with the materials you have? That empty can is ready to be transformed into a game!

In this time, I’ve wrestled with how to connect in the real world as well as in the virtual world, and from that challenge, The Togetherness project was launched. This hand-carved image created by artist Anna Oneglia features the California state flower & bird and echoes the sentiment that we are all in this together, even if we must be apart.

With all of this time online, I’m drawn to the creative interventions & interactions we can have offline. I wandered past these two scenes today, and found them both inspiring in their own way. ➡️DM me & I’ll send you the link that the QR code connects to. #onlineoffline #realityvsvirtual #diy #intervention #connection

Did you grow up transforming cardboard boxes into entire worlds? 🤚 We did! If you can’t tell, we ❤️📦! HI TECH/ LOW TECH is inspired by the creations of Willa & Ramona, two kids who’s cardboard computers are the toy of choice among their friends. 💻 What language will your keyboard have? Will the space bar actually take you to space? .
