Dog in the City No. 1

Thanks to Sab, this blog is still alive! 

I haven't posted anything (or even thought of anything worth posting) ever since this blog started.
I feel guilty because the whole point of this blog, is to have time for art. But I've been too busy with serious stuff, that cute things were unwillingly set aside. Well that, and the fact that I am nothing if not motivated! So to set a goal for myself, I'm starting (and will try my best to finish) a little coffee book project about the two things that never fail to make me say, 'Aww' and 'Ohh'. My dog and great buildings.

So where is my dog now?

288,000 jelly beans -- for ART!

With a wide array of flavors (and colors!), who doesn't love Jelly Beans? But Kina Grannis put these colorful candies to use in the stop-motion video of her song,  In Your Arms. The three-minute video plays with a background animation made with 288, 000 jelly beans which was made in a span of 22 months. Ahhh-mazing!

PS. Her other videos are just as creative! Search for Valentine, and Without Me :)

How To Be An Explorer of the World: Portable Life Museum

As we have said in our post, Keep the Creative Juice Flowing, exploring and keeping your eyes open to different things help in stimulating the imagination. Being creative doesn't need a specific time or a special place, it can be done anytime and anywhere!




How To Be An Explorer of the World: Portable Life Museum by Keri Smith is an interactive book that lists 59 ideas, activities and experiments on how to explore and see the world in a different perspective. The book encourages people to find patterns, textures, and observe details that we tend to overlook because of familiarity. It also promotes its readers to collect things and make their own museum of things and ideas.
