Author of 365: A Daily Creativity Journal, Noah Scalin is a doll - literally!

Total giggle! Noah Scalin is a doll! Read all about this mini him and its creator over at this post at his blog Skull-a-day.

And if this wasn't enough to get your creativity cookin', try this page from his book 365: A Daily Creativity Journal: Make Something Every Day and Change Your Life! to point you in a direction today!

 

I took my creative direction from #170, which talks about making something unintended out of existing instructions. My favorite instructions are clothing patterns and I have a stash just for crafting with. I haven't made an ATC in a while so that is what it was going to be.

I simply cut a piece of cardstock the size of an ATC and then glued a fun bit of pattern onto it.

Then I added my current favorite Jay-Z quote. I attached it to a greeting card with some gold photo corners so I could store it in my Card Album and most likely trade or gift it in the future.

Want to get in on the "make something daily" band wagon too? Then grab yourself a copy of:

In 2007, artist Noah Scalin came up with an ingenious idea: he cut a skull out of orange paper and posted it on his blog with the note, “I’m making a skull image every day for a year.” His year-long art project became an award-winning internet sensation that resulted in the book Skulls, as well as landing him in the New York Times and on the Martha Stewart Show. He lives in Richmond, Virginia.
