Quirky Heartmade

What was my favorite random object to create with? In my *RANDOM OBJECT: Painting* challenge video, I discovered the straw was better than I gave it credit. Definitely will try painting with craft feathers now. The craft feathers are now my favorite craft object for more than just their cute, fluffiness. They create such an interesting pattern and texture, PLUS... I can incorporate the feather into the painting. How cool is that? Now there's a huge plus, incorporating the medium into the art. Something fun and creative to do. Almost like the crayon art concept that is popular. The scissors weren't bad for creating those interesting teardrop shapes, either. I guess it all depends on what kind of shapes and textures you're going for and what you got handy. What was your favorite random object to paint with? Did it give you any ideas? Hope it was  inspirational to try new things and explore art outside the box. Who knows? It might give you the next pinterest worthy craft in

The contenders in the fight for best weird, random object to paint with are: The spoon weighing in at less than a pound, with a rounded head and thin handle The straw weighing in at a couple ounces as a cylindrical object The whisk weighing heavier than the straw but lighter than the spoon. A common household object for many! Let's hear it for the whisk. Might be perfect for making batter but how will it do with painting a masterpiece? Scissors, a very formidable opponent. No stranger to the crafting scene but can it paint? Light as a feather because it is one! Brightly colored and small in size, nowadays it's used often in crafts but in olden days was used for a very similar purpose. How will it work here? Watch the video to see how these opponents throw down the paint!
