So we took the opportunity to break out our Sunprint paper that we picked up at the Seattle Art Museum a while back. Sunprint paper reacts to direct sunlight, except for in the areas you block with an object.
I think my favorite part is that everything comes out blue and white which, as you can see from this blog, are my favorite color combo. Here's how it starts:
Then after waiting five minutes in the sun, you quickly rinse it in cold water and let it dry. The weird thing is that in the middle, it's actually a negative of what you see below. The exposed area is white and the string is blue.
Next, Kevin used a daffodil to make this one:
Then he made a bike out of matchsticks and bottle caps. It reminded me of this block print he did a few months ago.
Last, I used some river rocks that I collected from the Columbia River in Richland, Wa. to make polka dots. They might be radioactive, but I loved that the shadows came out a slightly different color.
So that was our fun project of the day. In wedding news, Kevin bought 60 mason jars at the store and I think we maaay have settled on a super-fun, casual caterer.
If you come up with a crafty idea that requires glass hurricane candle holder thingys (that's the official name, of course!), I have 12 that you can borrow. And glass plates to put underneath. (They look kind of like this, but I can send you an actual picture if you are interested. http://www.quickcandles.com/Glass-Pillar-Hurricane-Candle-Lamp-11-5-p/1295_1.htm) Just let me know.

ReplyDeleteWoo! I will definitely let you know! We can't have open flames in the barn but maybe we can get some LEDs. Thanks Lisa!
