Dear Readers,

I am proud to announce (drumroll please) NEWS! Yes, it is true, yesterday we were back at school. More importantly, we were back at Art Stars!!! Yesterday, we started Art Stars with an exercise that mostly consisted of the following: (1:) Get a piece of paper, and cut it long ways into very thin strips. (2:) Color or decorate the strips. (3:) Weave the strips together. (4:) Somehow make it into a “basket”. (Note: I’m not exactly sure how to make it into a basket. Andrew, maybe you could explain…) Anyways, after warm up, we started three basic projects. The first one was the most interesting. We took a roll of felt (?) and somehow made it into 25 (estimating) strips. Here is how. We took the roll, and affixed it to a chair. The chair actually had a hole in it, so we took the beginning of the felt strip, and pulled it through the hole. Then we had two pullers (Sam and Myself) who would run a certain length with the felt, and we had a designated cutter (Flannery) whom of which cuts the felt. Each one, I would say, is 10 feet tall. I probably am wrong, so don’t trust me. Then we took 10 strips and laid them out vertically. Now we took 10 other strips and weaved them under and over the vertical strips. This was all we could do with that today.

Also we did some hilarious photos with a certain cookie dubbed ‘Freddie the Fish’, and made him the head of certain people. I am positive this will somehow be on the Internet (check Flickr).

Also Andrew and I played an new version of Exquisite Corpse. It was fun. Now my features:

Pun: How do shapes go places? They take a rhombus.

Trivia: How old was the person who invented television, when he invented it?
