9/7/20-WHEELS

Post by sthom97093 »

Join us all month long in September as we focus on all the things "circular" . . .flat and round things, spherical things, and even "round" things that've made their way into song titles. . . . the possibilities for inspiration are endless this month.

Just imagine listening to "You Spin Me Round (like a Record)" by Dead or Alive on CD while outside playing frisbee with your neighbors, or watching your kids on the merry-go-round while eating bagels and doughnuts from your favorite shop. Let's not forget the coins we used to make that purchase . . .so many "round" things to choose from! Can't wait to see what "round" things inspire YOU!

For today’s challenge, I was inspired by wheels. I took this picture of my daughter hailing herself a set of wheels in Chicago when she was a tiny girl. To play up the wheel theme, I used a variety of car and travel themed papers along with gears to simulate the wheels making a car go around. So my challenge to you is to create a project featuring wheels. Perhaps your “wheels” are a bicycle or maybe even a carnival ride? To help get your "wheels turning" a bit, I'm including a sketch from my fellow DT member at Sketches in Thyme that motivated me to get your juices flowing.

You don't have to, but if you want to go ahead. I will upload the sketch I loosely based my project on. But anything using wheels or the word wheels would suffice. :)
