Swirls & Dots

Last night's Art if for Everyone project was my favorite so far (although it seems that each succeeding week becomes my new favorite).

We did confetti-dipped & marbled drinking glasses.

The guys loved it and made some really beautiful marbled glasses.

If you want to try either project on your own check here for a confetti tutorial and here for a marbled tutorial.  

We ended up using colored nail polish with a clear coat on both projects with cheap glassware purchased from Goodwill.   

I love how my two confetti tumblers turned out.  

I'm going to make 8 so that I'll have a complete set.  

Georgia Tech colors!

 The guys played a great deal with the air bubbles and spots made from the oil and water interacting.

Here it the bottom of one of my confetti glasses!

Paracord Round 2: Monkey's Fist & Cross Knot

Paracord Party

 This past Thursday I held my very first Art is for Everyone Tutorial.  I taught ten of the residents how to make paracord bracelets. 

Trying to corral and hold the attention of ten guys definitely reminded me deeply of the four and five year olds that I work with on Sundays, and we even had a little peanut gallery that stuck around to watch and comment.  

Ha!  

But after everyone dived into their own project and got braiding, they became quite absorbed.  

It was so rewarding to watch everyone chat, bond and make something together.

I threw out a few fun facts about Chinese knot-tying and the many uses of paracord.  

After everyone held up their survival bracelets triumphantly, we segued into an evening on the front lawn toasting s'mores.  

Overall, a really successful night.
