Creative Ink

I've just discovered Sharpie, the pen of choice when writing notes on your arm for later memory, has it's own blog. A really fun and simple site that suggests all the things you can utilise this pen for. In the below pictured article, the author suggests old used or thrown away encyclopedias and other books, for kids to be as creative as possible with: cutting, colouring, folding, tearing. Her only instructions were "DO AS YOU LIKE!" And so they did to great results. Kids love this kind of freedom. It's thinking outside the box that gives us great ideas and artists a like. It's only when we are at play that we are able to be truly creative and transformational.
