Spiroglyphics - First Try!

-
Hey Reader!

This is a short post but a a super cool project! I want to bring your attention to Spiroglyphics. These books from last year have made their way into my sphere of awareness and I am having so much fun with them!


They are a super cool coloring project that are striking and require only a basic skill in coloring. You start with an outline like this one - and simply color it in! It is so easy! There is a little challenge in keeping track of what is the inside of your spiral and what is the outside, but if you follow along carefully, it comes together fast!


I really like trying to figure out what the picture is as I go. After doing the first half of the spiral, you can definitely see some eyes, but it isn't until the whole picture is filled in that the cute little cat emerges!

I definitely see myself experimenting and doing more fun stuff with these. I tried one using four colors and got a really awesome multicolored bunny! I even happened to use Easter-ey colors but that wasn't intentional.

To do this, I lightly marked the lines where I wanted to switch colors in pencil, and then followed along. I think marking the inside of the spiral might make it a little easier to follow along.

 I am definitely going to be making a lot more of these. They might become the new "smooth walls" of this blog!
 

Keep making cool stuff! Until next time,
JoshPrime

Doughnut Bath Bombs!

-

Hey Reader! It's that time of week again! This week, I wanted to expand my bath bomb skills a little further and use some new ingredients - namely sprinkles. I have been using the non-lush bath bombs from my local supermarket for a while now and have noticed the decision to include sprinkles.  Are sprinkles appropriate for bathtime now? Maybe it is just something we do to allow us to eat donuts in the tub. I am totally cool with that. In the interest of tub related sugar rushes, I decided to make doughnut bath bombs! Is "donut" acceptable? My spellchecker doesn't think so. I guess to look at it without the Dunkin' context that is really "DO-nut."  I still have my doughnut molds from my FoodStirs experiment a last year . If you have forgotten, FoodStirs is an awesome box subscription service from Sarah Michelle Gellar. Go month to month, or just pick out your favorite thing and try it out. They are having a big sale this week if you use the ...

Diamond Painting for Beginners!

Hey Reader, Have you heard of Diamond Painting ? It is a super cool new craft project I am starting to get into. I really like it because it isn't as physically taxing as smoothing walls in my house, and you can do it while watching TV. I have gotten really behind on all my television lately, so this is a positive. Now, if only we could find a way to make stuff, while also doing cardio. Diamond painting is essentially color by number, but the colors are little plastic diamonds. MommaPrime has gotten really into them lately and sent me one to try. Check me out. This kit is for beginners like me. It is a super easy project and the end result is pretty striking. The only real challenge is figuring out the way to pick up and move the little diamonds. You are given a tiny square of wax and a picking device. By poking the picking device into the wax, it becomes sticky enough to pick up the little diamonds. It can take a little bit to get the hang of how hard to press on the diamonds...

Foodstirs Out Of This World Donut Kit!

Hey reader! I know I promised you cotton candy making, but this post is time sensitive! This is kind of a unique post today. I am writing about my experience making the Foodstirs Out Of This World Donut Ki t . What is Foodstirs? Foodstirs is the new box dessert delivery company owned by Sarah Michelle Gellar of Buffy fame. All of the ingredients in a Foodstirs box are ethically sources, non GMO, and organic. The recipes are also designed to be fun and easy to make with kids. JustLeah and I host the weekly Buffy podcast, J and L Watches , and when we saw that this product existed we thought it would be super awesome to give it a try. We are pretty much children ourselves, so this could be a great project! We were not paid or compensated in any way for this review, but if Sarah Michelle Gellar wants to send us more donuts, we are very cool with that. Anyway, even the packaging is adorable! It didn't come with quite everything we needed to make donuts. We needed to provide ...
