My daughter is one of those people who used to love shopping for school supplies. In her time as an elementary school teacher, she loved the unsharpened pencils, the unmarked folders, the desk supplies all in a row. (She's a little on the organized side.) Well, you can imagine how she felt when she saw these amazing works of art created out of or inspired by ordinary office supplies. Do you love your highlighter? Your Post-It notes and colored pencils? Well, take a gander at these!

Wow. That's all I could say when I discovered the revolutionary development of 3D printing that is nothing short of magic. If you've never encountered this advancement, it is exactly as it sounds. It's a printer that prints not two-dimensional things like ink on a piece of paper, but three-dimensional objects with moving parts, customizable colors, and sturdy materials that are actually useful. I'm telling you: WOW.

This is an amazing series of photographs showing icebergs that aren’t your traditional “white ice.” Actually, as you get more experienced with drawing and painting, and you begin delving into color media, whether it’s water color, oils, acrylic, or another color medium, you’ll start to realize that most things don’t have just a single color. Clouds are almost never pure white or gray, the ocean is never just “blue,” and ice brings all kinds of colors and values to the table.
Enjoy!
