Playground for Muses
The Creativity Portal
Playground features imaginative art and craft projects, fun how-to
articles, and an assortment of online resources for creative, interactive,
and imagination inducing places online. This site is a great resource
for parents, teachers, and kids at heart!
If you are looking
for kid- and adult-friendly arts and crafts projects then you'll
love the Portal's
selection of step-by-step activities and printable computer
crafts that can be made with simple materials. Whether it's polymer
clay, material and fabric, paint and markers, foamy shapes, tissue
or crepe paper, these ideas will inspire your imagination and lead
you off into creating your projects.

Visit Live Muses for Inspiration
Here
in Australia everyone is preparing for the long summer holidays
and this means that there is time to undertake some creative projects.
When
we celebrated All Soul's Day on the Soul Food Silk Road Gail Kavanagh
set about making an altered book as a tribute to the life of Frida
Kahlo.
Consider
whose life you would like to celebrate and think of following Gail's
lead. Begin gathering supplies to make your altered books. Here
is a wonderful list for Art
Rat Packers to help you in your quest to find useful objects
that can be recycled.
Alternatively
you might follow Carol Abel's lead and make Artistic
Trading Cards that could be framed in small collections.
This section is designed to help stimulate
creativity and provide alternative ways of seeing art.
