Hi!! sorry I have been kinda behind...thanksgiving was strange, but I did accumulate some craft supplies
here is a fish made out of tissue paper...which i think will work well on the face of the guitar which i am blacking out
also i have origami fish and cranes that i plan to adhere to the front to give a 3D sense
i plan to use beads and shlacked blue m&m's (which i have 2 pounds of) as bubbles
i am going to paint the side of the guitar blue and use paint pens to write lyrics that pertain to my theme of "something-i-havent-decided in the key of sea"
the octopus legs on the neck of the guitar i am thinking of making out of some kind of moldable substance be it clay or that crayola model magic stuff which i really like and probably wont be heavy enough to detach
i think i will put some type of garden item...maybe a sparkly sea cucumber or coral in order to suggest "Octopus' garden"
i am trying to think of ways to display other undersea songs in an obvious way
here are some pictures of some stuff..my camera is re-charging so i will try and get some more up by tomorrow
AND i will take some pictures of earrings and stuff so you can pick your hannukah present :-)
because i usually bring a box of jewlery to let my teachers pick..but since that seems difficult this year i am doing selections virtually
Oh and another thing...my aunt is a fabric designer and she is studying in japan....and she has begun sending me cranes hence the childrens book and i guess a tradition of making 1000 paper cranes...but she also sent me a bunch of origami paper and these really old japanese script books to cut into more paper and maybe some collages.... just thought that you would think that was interesting
if you want i will take pictures of the paper too...its neat

key of sea! Ha! I definitely like your mixed-media approach. I think the more things hanging off this thing, the better. You should try using fimo dough or "sculpy" for the octopus- you can get it at any craft store- you sculpt something and then bake it in the oven to harden it- it make really cool beads too. I have read the book about the 1000 paper cranes- I think its a cool idea and if you want us to do some here, let me know.
yea!!! i love clay so that will be fun
oh and you may or may not want to read the story... i like the sentiment and the tradition but the book is sad
but its fun to make the cranes and everytime i make a new one it looks a little better and im really excited to make earring out of them or at least use them as unique christmas cards
