TODAY'S INSPIRATION is RECYCLING!
Today we are creating RECYCLING RECIPES to either create something from our recipe or someone elses recipe, or to simply post our own innovative recipe here.
WHAT IS THE POINT OF THIS EXERCISE?
This idea has more value than at first you might realise. The process for writing your recipe is really quite easy when you see it set out in steps. The value added, is that this 'recipe writing' exercise, can also be utilised for 'goal setting' and achieving your goals. Just replace the title of the project with your goal. Add to the "materials" the people and places you'll need to contact to achieve your goal. Add to the "method" the steps you'll need to take to achieve your goal. It's all great practise!
Ok, so let's get started!
a) THINK: For today's exercise, instead of just throwing your recycling boxes, bottles, cartons, etc. in the recyling bin, think about how you might be able to reuse something you are about to discard. It might be a cereal box, egg carton, light bulb box, plastic bottle, etc.
eg: One idea I had for an empty tissue box, was to reuse it as a plastic bag dispenser. I painted the box and it was very handy.
eg: Another idea someone gave me was to reuse plastic bottles for my puppy. I part-filled them with gravel and put the lid back on, he loved the noise it made, like a loud rattle and we had lots of fun playing fetch.
b) RECORD STEPS: Grab a piece of paper or note book
i) Title of Project: write down a name for your project at the top of the paper
ii) Materials: write down a heading "materials" and record a list of what other materials you will require. Here is an opportunity to add on other items that you might be able to recycle also
iii) Method: write down another heading "method" and record in steps, what you would need to actually do, to accomplish your recycling idea.
3) CREATE: Create your recycling idea!
4) POST: post an image for us all to see on Facebook at Inspire Create with artist Karin Taylor, or if you don't/didn't have time to actually create it, simply post your RECYCLING RECIPE for all of us here, so that we get a pool of ideas/sharing of information.
NOTE: It can be as simple or as complex as you like.
GOOGLE THESE WORDS FOR INSPIRATION:
recycle, recycled goods, recycling, recycling ideas, recycling crafts
ENJOY AND BE INSPIRED: by the video below before you begin your process. This process is very basic, but it can be good practised, especially for goal setting and how to achieve a more complex goal! :)

NB: The creative exercises archived here are available for anyone who wants more inspiration and creative expression in their lives. There is no limit on how often you particpate, how many exercises you do, or what order you do them in. They are an extension of my book "Beyond the Stick Figure: hope and encouragement for anyone who has ever wanted to be creative"
NB: Please note that this blog is only being used as an archive/storage/resource facility for Inspire Create with artist Karin Taylor on Facebook. It exists to help people find all the creative exercises I have posted on Facebook more easily. To engage and interact, to join in the fun, please join us at Facebook @Inspire Create with artist Karin Taylor and please post your contributions, creations and artwork on Facebook rather than this blog. Thank you and aloha, Karin
