Mischief Makers: Next @Ghibli Summer Market

a child wears a cardboard mascot like mask about 4 times the size of their head. The mask is round has a large mouth, which the wearer can see through, with square teeth of varying lengths. The eyes on the mask are huge, circular, and white, with tiny pin pick pupils.

I think this is my favourite thing ever made at one of our summer camps!

Last week was Summerween Camp so our younger kids made low poly animal masks, and our older kids made huge cardboard masks from scratch 🎃

Actually had a moment between teaching and business stuff to complete a personal project this summer! I found a free pattern online for this (link in thread), so I made a little gift for Jenna

"...people will just volunteer without explicit economic incentives to create..."

This is LITERALLY what the internet used to be. The whole fucking thing. Every piece of it. Stem to stern. That sentence right there. We were just on here, doing stuff, just to share with each other.

Found a friend on my walk with Bowie today 🌻🦋 Did you know the eastern Monarch population is beginning to rebound?

Going for walks with Bowie and doing some mending in the park is absolutely peak summer💕

behind a white button on camo patterned pants you can see the thread wrapped around the base of the four threads holding on the button. The wrap helps keep the button tight while also maintaining a small distance between the pocket and pocket flap when closed.

Pictured are two bright mismatched buttons on camouflage cargo pants pockets. The buttons are white and a marigold yellow.

I've been off work since Monday and today is the first time it actually felt like it. I spent part of the afternoon practicing sewing buttons on my flower combat pants.

I still find it hilarious they pull up Logan or Thor like no buddy you look FOOLISH the girlies want a Nightcrawler, a Loki, a Nightwing, a Gambit 😂

You know who wants you to be a big buff man who does muscles and violence instead of feelings? The folks selling you Big Buff Man products

A collage of a woman standing beside her horse, but their heads have been swapped. The figures are laid on a sky of textured paper, one piece is bubble painted, and other are torn blue or white pieces. The piece is mounted on the centre of a doily.

The letters for the word SOAR look like wooden scramble tiles and are mounted on a field of combed blue with a torn strip of yellow cutting through. Surrounding the letters are a number of yellow and orange butterfly silhouettes

Locke Cole from Final Fantasy 6 is crouched with his daggers out and is outlined in gold acrylic pen. Behind his head is a Victorian style purple heart with a pink outline and white roses laid inside. Behind Locke is a cut out doily which covers the corner of the background, a blue painted texture, and a torn piece of textured paper with Violet and pale blue diamonds that create an interlocking pattern. The figure of Locke is surrounded by three 60's style colourful flower silhouettes.

This collage is made up of a number of dinosaur stickers layered over one another. The dinosaurs include the Tricératops, raptors, brontosaurus, and arcteryx. There is also a scribbled blue face with blue hair, outline, and red eyes and mouth. Stickers on the right side write the word 'DINOSAUR' vertically.

If you know me at all you know I love a craft meet, and collage is one of my favourite activities to run. It's so simple and accessible, but the ceiling of what you can create is endless.
Heres a few of the pieces made last night 💕

I would love to play a game with your art 😍

it's a picture of troll dolls. honestly I'd probably be doing you a favor not describing them, but if you must know: wretched works of a heretic's hand. stumpy little things that look like baby yoda going through a divorce. no human has ever been that shade of gray-beige but a lot of depressing house flip walls have. neon hair standing straight up. terrible, terrible eye contact, all iris/pupil, no sclera. a single gem embedded in their abdomen like the hourglass on a black widow; arms widespread and open. never should have been born. 7/10.

the neat thing is we had labubus in the 90s too

The back, right side of a pair of light blue jeans shows the pocket and the back thigh area that has been repaired. A large tear below the pocket is patched on the inside with a woven patch done in orange and brown. The patch has orange decorative stitching done around the edge and beyond for a short distance, and across the pocket and down the thigh has decorative stitching in blue. The blue stitching is all small squares aligned in a grid shape.

We see the legs of a person from the front, from the hips down, wearing light blue jeans that are extremely worn on the thighs. The worn area is heavier on the right leg (left of frame) and we can see many loose threads of the weft of the fabric.

The partly finished butt area (diagonal lines to come) of my jeans, and the (steadily growing) blank canvas yet to be worked on at the front.

🌈Happy Pride Everyone✨
One of our kids designed this message for our pride sign this year and we couldn't be more proud to show it off 💕

kinda half done labyrinth thingy because I like the composition

DINOSAURS

Illustration of a group of characters drawn in a cartoon, midcentury-style. They are at pride and the whole piece is a rainbow gradient with the characters in different colours. A sign held by the character at the top says “none of us are free until all of us are free”

None of us are free until *all* of us are free ✨

I see you 💜 I empathize and am so sorry.

bring back the abnimals 💪

Come make free Pride Prints at East Lynn Park tomorrow from 3-7pm 💜🩵💚

I'll share them later, but my two favourites are one that's a collection of ridiculous comic book onomatopoeia, and one on how everything farts.

My favourite project from our kids this year was teaching them to make one page Zines. They'd use mix media to create them (to get them to think outside /just/ pencil) and we made 5-10 copies of each for them to share with friends.

You're the absolute best 😊

Bring back cosplay dot com.
