The Game Challenge #4

This week's challenge at The Game is Hopscotch with a twist.

"Put the numbers 1-8 on paper and place in a bowl. Draw out 2. Refer to the hopscotch board and use what that number says and how many (meaning the number on the paper). Make something you can hang on a wall. 4x4 or larger on chipboard or canvas."

Here's the hopscotch board:


And here's my entry:


I had 5 and 6. So that was 5 buttons and 6 inches of ribbon.

This was my first ever 4x4!

I decided to make a hanging door plaque for my brother. I used chipboard, which I covered with some black paper. Then I poked holes in the top corners to thread some ribbon through to hang it with (no idea of the ribbon's brand). Then I took 4 buttons from a "Blast Off" collection (I don't remember the brand; I just remember the collection name because it was why I brought them... I did look, but I can't find them on the site any more), and another star shaped one from a pack of tactile ones I got from the RNIB and glued them to it. After that I added a braille "Carl" with dymo labelling tape (also from the RNIB). And I finished by decorating some of the space left with a few small stickers I had from somewhere.

Why not see what you can come up with for this challenge? Then hop on over to The Game to enter your projects in the challenge!

Coming soon to a blog near you

In fact, a blog so near you that you're looking right at it at this moment.

No, really, you are.

It's my blog!

OK, so you probably figured that out, but... *Shrugs*

Anyway...

I'm in the process of preparing my poetry for publication. Because of this I have deleted my poetry blog. The thing is, I don't want to make available for free what I'm hoping to have people buy. Not all my poems will be included in the book, however, so those that wont will be shared at some point in the not-too-distant future.

You'll never guess where?

Yep; right here on this blog!

The ones for the pets have a page; see tabs above. I haven't added all of the pets' poems yet, but I'm working on it.

The others will just be posted when I decide to post them (unless I've posted them on here before, in which case they wont be).

Also...

Susan invited me to join a design team where we make ATCs (artist trading cards; don't worry if you hadn't heard of them, I'm new to them too), 4x4s (what it says on the tin; a 4x4 page... I'm told people collect them, but - as with the ATCs - these are new to me), cards, and various other crafts; mostly involving papercrafts, but not exclusively judging by the details given to me.

There's a challenge every couple of weeks, so I'll be posting my contribution when each one comes around.

Thanks Susan for inviting me to - and being so eager for me to - join the design team. :)

More details will be provided on all the things mentioned in this post when I next post about them, so look out for those posts. :)

And, yes, I'm still working on those online courses. Oh, and I still have another book review post to write too...
