White on White

Working with white on white is a very different experience, unless you're from West Virginia. Collect white odds and ends like cotton balls to eggshells (unwashed - because egg whites are safe because they're white).

Examine your "piles of whites." Can you see how different one white can be from another? Who needs different colors when there's enough variety in white? Talk to others about the texture and reflective surfaces of whites. Write to Mel Gibson and applaud his personal viewpoint on white versus color. Better yet, send him one of these white creations!

To create your white art, use glue (white, of course) and secure your whites to white trays. Make a white supremicist say "That's the good'nest picture i ever seen!" with your white on white art.

Yarn Hair Wig

Note: you will need a crochet hook for this craft.

1. pull a knee-high stocking inside out, over your hair. Tie a knot close to your head in the extra part of the stocking.Take off the stocking and turn it right-side out. Stretch the stocking over a large beverage container, say, a bottle of Jack. Start getting in the right frame of mind.

2. Cut pieces of yarn 16 to 20 inches long. Hold a small pinch of stocking in your fingers. Gently poke a crochet hook through the stocking. Place a piece of yarn on the hook and pull it through the hole. Tie knot in the yarn.

3. Continue to cover the stocking with pieces of yarn.

4. Walk around saying "I'm Axl Rose. Turn around bitch I got a use for you."


5. Alienate your friends.

Cabbage Centerpieces

A cabbage head with a Cub Scout cap and neckerchief makes an effective centerpiece! Add gum drop eyes, ears and mouth. Then, during dinner, sit back and appreciate the uncomfortable expressions on the faces of your guests as they stare at your creative Cabbage Centerpiece staring back at them.

Another option is placing a toothpick through an orange, and sticking the orange on the cabbage head. Slice a second orange and place one slice on the top of the first orange as a hat! Discard rest of second orange. Use cloves as eyes, nose and mouth. Puncture cabbage with long multiple voodoo pins. Your guests will nervously wonder which one of them the voodoo cabbage is supposed to be. Don't tell!
