Day 9- Free People Free Others

Send us a text

Welcome to DAY NINE of our new 30-day COMMUNITY PROJECT where we make something with our hands every day to improve our mental health. We all realize that creativity heals...it's time to put that knowledge into action.

I'm going to publish an episode for you to follow along with several days of each week (I'll take breaks on Fridays and weekends in order to give you time to catch up as needed). These episodes will exist here, marked with the days numbered, in order for you to follow along at any speed that you like. Miss a day? Doesn't matter. Just pick up right where you left off and keep making things. These episodes will give us all some accountability, but if you need more, pair up with a partner. It really does help!

Join our creative community by making something today, whether it's for five minutes or several hours—your brain will thank you. Let's do this thing together and turn all of this sh*t into something beautiful!

Love on all who may cross yourpath in life, because what you
do matters.
For today's project I'm takingsome white self-drying clay and
going to just like hand formlittle bowls, like the kind of
little bowls that you can makefor rings or necklaces, kind of
form that with my hands smoothit out, then use watercolors to

(00:47):
color it.
And then I also have some driedflowers that I've collected
from when we've camped and I'mgoing to.
While the clay is still wet, itdries pretty quick.
So while it's wet I'm going totake those dried flowers and
stick it at the bottom of thelittle bowl and kind of decorate

(01:08):
the bottom.
Then we're going to let thatdry and after that's dry we're
going to apply some clearsealant on it.
And you can get all of this ata little craft store.
So I'm doing air dry clay inwhite so that it can be
decorated and painted, and youcan paint it while it's still

(01:28):
wet, which is the really goodthing with the air dry clay,
Then the clear sealant that is.
I don't remember the name of it, but you can look it up very
easily.
All in all, it will take maybe,I think, two, three days for it
to all dry, but I've done thisin the past and it's really fun
and very cute.

(01:49):
And that's it.
Today's episode is super shortand sweet.
Hopefully you're getting somegood ideas of things that might
interest you and until tomorrow,stay curious.
