#28 - Elijah Key

I was strolling the mall today with my mom and sister in tow, and my mom saw a key necklace that reminded her of me. Out of nowhere it hit me "I didn't do a key for the 28th" UGH! I had it happen last week and I was hoping to stay on top of my game, but I just don't know what happened!

Once I got home I was debating on what to do my key on and my nephew, Elijah, decided he wanted to color with me. So I drew out a key and he colored it in for me. I love doing any type of activity with Tia's Little Monster, so I had fun.

Yes, that's a spiderweb... he's OBSESSED with Spiderman!

#17 - Eye Patch Key

Today's project idea was to make something that would cover an eye. At first I thought it would be tricky but it ended up working out. I tore a page out of an old sketch book I had (I love the texture and it works well with charcoal), grabbed some charcoal and then cut out my design with an exacto!!

My final product!

Note: I am wearing absolutely NO MAKEUP.. yuck!



#12 - Camo Key

So today's project idea was to create something that would disappear into its background. I looked into my surroundings and decided to use the General's drapes as inspiration. She has this obsession with a black/white color scheme. Find my key!!

From a distance.

Close up!

#3 - Paper Key

So for today's project, I was supposed to use paper, and no scissors, glue or drawings! What the flip!? Initially I planned to somehow MacGyver a folded key and it just wasn't happening! After more thought, I decided today I would *GASP*  use scissors and channel my inner Edward Scissorhands! Logically it should be easier this way, unfortunately I was totally wrong!

I had THREE epic fails!

I genuinely have no idea where I was going with this! So then I thought I would do key cut-outs how hard could those be right? Until...   

Cut Out Fail #1

 I realized I couldn't remember how to fold the effing paper! Google be damned, I was going to figure this out on my own!

 Cut Out Fail #2  

 My sister decided to help me and then this happened! I was so tempted to call my friends 6 year old for help but decided to try it again on my own just one more time.

TA-DA!

After what felt like forever, I finally figured it out. My stomach still hurts from laughing, so I'm counting today as a success!
