Day 138: Creative parties and pictures

So, the other day I went round my friends house for, I guess you could call it a party. It wasn't your traditional student party with booze and loud music. Oh no, it was far more safisticated than that.

We spent the evening watching Disney movies and colouring in! It was great! It took me right back to being a kid again. I used to spend hours colouring and drawing. It would seem that not much has changed.

We watched Matilda, which is an incredibly creative story (hats off to you Mr Dahl) and made those swirlly pattern pictures. You know the ones where you take your pencil for a walk on the page and then colour in the sections? Well anyway, it was heeps of fun and I really enjoyed being creative with my friends who I wouldn't normally be creative with.

I also feel like I put my own mark on the old favourite. Instead of colouring each section in one colour, I added paterns too. I feel like I have advanced from my five year old self, even if just a little bit! Here are my much loved pattern pictures:

Psychodelic huh!

Move the page up and down with your curser and see them mooove!

My hope is that this will inspire you to have a party with a difference. Invite your friends round for a DVD and a colour. Boys, maybe you could watch and draw zombies instead of princesses, but whatever takes your fancy...

Give it a go. Creativity is all about having fun!

Day 117: Fancy dress parties

This weekend seems to be the weekend for parties. Not just any parties, fancy dress parties. It seems for students, coming back from a long summer is another excuse to have a party. You know, saying hello to everyone, dressing up as a spaceman. Makes sense. 

Last night I found myself at a Rocky Horror Party where people who extremely high stilettos, black suspenders and corsets. There was a lot of red lipstick on both guys and gals. But tonight I am going to an animal themed party. I am imagining a lot of rabbits and kittens, but we'll see.

All of this play acting got me thinking about what I would choose for a fancy dress party...I've always fancied a Rubik cube party, where everyone comes dressed in one colour and leaves with all the colours (or is it the other way round?) At Christmas last year we have a silver themed party where we pretty much covered ourselves in tinsel and tin foil. Fun times. I think the most crazy one was when I, along with 7 others dressed up as the Loch Ness monster! I was the tail, hence the 'hat'!

The possibilities really are endless, so, have a think, spend a bit of time, what would YOU do for a fancy dress party? Be as creative as you like on this one!
