Creative Inspiration

soon to be a candle holder...

This has been the week of Arts and Crafts.  Bree is completely obsessed with making stuff.  She finds inspiration on YouTube, takes notes on everything she would like to create and then spends hours, cutting, gluing, puncturing...the list goes on...


Yesterday, Elwood was searching for projects to make from recycled items.  He just type "recycled projects" into Google images...you would be amazed at what can be made from old tires, plastic bags, claw foot bath tubs and a VW Bug...no kidding!

On Tuesday, we decided that something should be living in our empty ten gallon aquarium.  First we had to test it to see if it would hold water.  No leaks, yet.
A few people responded to our call for suggestions on Facebook.  The one we have decided on is an aquaponics experiment.  We found a cool 'how to" on Youtube.  It is very low key and simple.  We are in the process of gathering the required "ingredients" and will start putting it together soon.  Updates will be forthcoming.

We are talking to a couple of very cool folks who may be presenting workshops during our three days of April Break Programming.  Exciting stuff, so stay tuned.  If you know of someone who would like to participate either as a student or as a volunteer please pass this on.
