Note from Andrea: I goofed. This article was supposed to appear tomorrow, but when I turned on my computer today, I forgot what day it was; I thought it was Friday instead of Thursday and I expected to see Creative Juice up on my blog–so I went to my future-scheduled posts and edited this to publish immediately, and it wasn’t until afterward that I realized my mistake. So, I’m sorry–I’ve got nothing for tomorrow; I jumped the gun today.
Why not spend an hour exploring these 12 wonderful articles?
- Witnesses to history. I cried at the story of Princess Diana.
- Just in case you didn’t see the sand sculptures on ARHtistic License’s Facebook page. (By the way, you can follow ARHtistic License on Facebook for more creative content.)
- Amazing appliquéd quilts from the International Quilt Festival.
- For parents of school-aged little ones—a recipe for homemade playdough.
- Matisse exhibit at MOMA. More Matisse.
- For the dog and cat lovers. LOL.
- The art of letter illumination.
- Artist Sandy Allnock’s Instagram page.
- Striking sculptures made from saplings.
- Franz Kline: breaking the rules of painting.
- A heartwarming book about an exceptional man, Joey Moss.
- Yuko Shimizu’s illustrations.
