I don't know about you but when we set off on a nature walk I can guarantee we'll find a few treasures that will inevitably find their way home with us. In the past these treasures have included pebbles, sticks, leaves, & shells, but recently we've been collecting feathers we've found on the ground. On a recent walk by a local river we were lucky enough to find some beautiful duck feathers scattered by the pathway, so Minnie carefully collected them & took them home with her. (I should add that we checked for any obvious dirt, & those that were mucky we left by the river. We also washed our hands thoroughly when we got back home.) These fabulous feathers were the perfect shape & size to make quill pens, so with a quick hunt around for some scissors, ink & paper we were set to make our own pens from nature. Minnie started by cutting the end off the base of the feather to create the nib. We used an old pair of baby nail scissors to do this job as they're nice & sharp, & an ideal size for little hands to manipulate. If you're not using feathers from a duck, you may find you need to remove small feathers or fluff from the base before cutting the nib. To help the ink flow we made a small cut up one side of the feather which created a simple ink channel. As the nib moves across the paper this is where the ink will gradually flow from. When Minnie was ready to try out her quill pen she dipped it into a pot of washable ink a couple of times, & then she was ready to write. If you haven't any ink, try using a pot of food colouring. The art of writing with a feather takes some getting used to. Learning which way the nib works best took some practice, but soon Minnie was writing & drawing confidently with her new quill pen. The simple flat nib Minnie made produced a nice thick line when writing, but for thinner lines you might like to try the technique below. This would be a great project for older children, but younger ones might need help when it comes to using the craft knife. To make a round nib we made a diagonal cut at the base of the feather & then cut a slit in the centre to make the ink channel. Using the craft knife I shaped the pointed ends into a rounded shape & one which looked more like a fountain pen nib. We dipped the nib twice in the ink again & the results were amazing. Minnie wrote numerous messages on the paper, & skillfully dipped the nib in the pot of ink when the channel in the feather became dry. She had soon got the hang of manipulating the feather to create smooth & controlled marks. As you can see she made quite a selection of quill pens each producing a different mark, & had much fun creating with them. Writing with these gave us a neat opportunity to discuss which people in history would've used writing implements like this & why. It enabled us to think about how skillful people must have been to use them & produce the magnificent manuscripts they did, & how long it must have taken them to complete them. We also talked about the value of nature, & how amazing it was to turn a discarded feather into a useful object. Such a fun nature craft for a variety of ages. I'm sure we'll be using these again very soon.

Students learn how to set up pre-programmed microcontroller units like the Arduino LilyPad and use them to enhance a product’s functionality and personality. They do this by making plush toys in monster shapes (template provided) with microcontrollers and LEDs sewn into the felt fabric with conductive thread to make circuits. At activity end, each student will have created his or her own plush toy, complete with LEDs that illuminate in a specified sequence: random twinkle, blink, heartbeat and/or breathing.

Our state standardized testing is over for the year, so the kids are returning to some fun projects in their curriculum. Third graders have a very big unit on the Oklahoma Land Run. There are several "hands-on" activities sprinkled throughout and yesterday I was able to be a part of one of them, basket-weaving. We made "Cherokee Single Wall" baskets, and learned that there are still two living native indian basket weavers in the state. Their baskets are sold and may earn several hundred dollars each. A group of parents met before hand to get the baskets started. They form from the bottom up so we got all of the bases started and ready for the children to have a good starting place. The strips of reeds were soaked in buckets of water so they stayed flexible. Once the children began their part, all they had to do was weave their long reed under/over/under/over the side spokes of the basket. As they worked it began to form a bowl shape. When there was about 3-4 inches of the "spokes" left at the top, the children stopped weaving and the instructors folded them over and tucked them in to form loops along the edge. It's amazing how differently they all turned out, even though everyone used the same technique and supplies. Some were small and really tight, some were large and had a looser weave. Some had large stripes, some small. Some sat flat, some didn't :) All are beautiful and unique, just like the little hands that made them! Of course, this one was my favorite. Playing around with PicMonkey effects...I like it! (No lack of personality with this one!)

Deze babyzwaan is geen Lelijk Eendje. Zacht en pluizig in wit en grijs, deze cygnet is gemaakt op een draadframe dat het poseren van het hoofd mogelijk maakt. De veren zijn een combinatie van wol, mohair en alpaca. De cygnet is ongeveer 6 centimeter lang en zes centimeter lang. Dit eendje zou een prachtig interieur of kinderkamerdecor maken. Dit is een zeer zacht naaldvilt wezen en is geen speelgoed. Dit is mijn origineel, maar ik kan een tweeling voor je creëren. Copyright Claudia Marie Felt.
Ann Carrington‘s piece “Galleons and Feathers” is inspired by Wing Wo Wave City, an industrial estate in Zhuijang Province, China which manufactures a massive amount of pearl adornment. The piece is formed in the shape of a 3-mast shop, floating over an opulent sea of brooches, earrings, necklaces and tiaras. The work both contains, and is inspired by, these glistening round objects, and Carrington explains on her website that they highlight “the discrepancy between their perceived status of being timeless status symbols of refined taste and wealth (with exotic overtones) and the often very unromantic reality.” Carrington studied at Bournville College of Art, Birmingham and The Royal College of Art where she graduated in 1987.

Many people see art as something with many barriers to entry – maybe the materials are expensive, maybe you don't have the space, or maybe you think it's difficult, requiring many specialized tools. Sometimes that's true, but the artists here have created incredible works using almost nothing but paper and scissors or knives.
