Day 13: A Steamy Birthday

Photographing a steamed up mirror is tricky.

Day 108: Create something in the steam on a bathroom mirror or other steamed up surface.

Day 12: Rainbow

Day 362: Make a rainbow from everyday objects.

Day 11: Stapled Porcupine

I went through a lot of staples to make this porcupine. At first I was going to try to make him entirely out of staples, but once I started I quickly realized it wasn't going to work so well.

First Attempt

Day 10: Photoshop

I wasn't able to put in my full effort today. I think I got a touch of food poisoning last night or something and I haven't had much energy. I really didn't want to skip a daily project so I took a little time between naps and played in Photoshop.

I share my birthday with a friend, Susan. We are celebrating this weekend. With only one photo of us together I thought I'd create a second one to share with her. It's pretty creepy, but hilarious. Enjoy!

Day 9: Paper Calendar

I found the Curiosity website early this year. They have a monthly paper toy calendar released at the beginning  of every month. March is an umbrella for National Umbrella Month. I never knew March was National Umbrella Month, did you? February was a groundhog for Groundhog Day and January was a Yeti. They are really fun to assemble and I look forward to making them every month. 

March Calendar 

The Puddle reads 

In a city where rain falls like hella,

there's no choice but to have an umbrella

So get down in a huddle,

stand on top of a puddle,

and let your voice ring out acapella.

March and February Calendar

Day 8: Origami Elephant

I remember trying to make origami rings out of dollar bills in high school. It was always fun. Today I thought I'd try something a little more difficult, an elephant. You can give this a shot using the instructions I found here. Some parts are a little confusing, but if you reference the images it helps.

Day 15: What can you do with just a dollar?

Day 7: Rorschach Test

The Rorschach test is a psychological test in which patients are asked to describe what images they see in a set of inkblots. Their answers are analyzed and used to figure out what their emotional functions and personality characteristics are. You can take a test here or here if you are interested. I wouldn't take the results to seriously. I'm pretty sure both of these were not analyzed by real psychologists, but it's still fun.


I took a shot at making my own Rorschach tests and showed them to a few friends. Instead of the traditional black ink on white paper I went with white ink on brown paper. Only a couple of us really saw much of anything in the inkblots. A few of them are visually interesting though, so I might hang them up in my apartment.
