Creativity Cookies: Marshmallow Medium

[Dan Goodwin]

Once you’ve chosen a specific medium to work in for your next creative project, you’ll automatically have a set of ideas and preconceptions about what’s possible in this medium.

You’ll tell yourself that anything you create in this medium SHOULD be of a specific shape, size, content, dimension, tone, colour, and a dozen other restrictions.

This Creativity Cookie will help you throw all those restrictions out the window and create in your own unique way!

Head over to Creativity Portal for the full Cookie, try it out for yourself, then head back here to share your comments and experiences.

Dabs, I've never heard of Cocoa Marsh, but I love that bottle! Did you ever put baby marshmallows in your hot chocolate? My grandma always had marshmallows in her bread box, just for us. The other day at the store, I bought a package and put them in the cupboard, next to the bread! Now I just need to open them and look at one and think, think, think...

I promise not to eat it until I've thought of everything!

That is ok, Mary...nobody from my era seems to remember it, and I thought my memory was flawed until I found this...Coca Marsh was way better than BOSCO, in my mind!!!
The jar was the clincher!

I like the idea of dying them different colors! i would make quilt squares out of them, and create a beautiful, warm, delicious marshmallow quilt!

[Camille]

Oh Yummy, Alicia! Please show us your finished quilt before someone toasts it on an opened fire and eats it!!! : )

Love Camille

You could spread "Fluff" on the palms of your hands and have a place to leave notes for yourself!

[Camille]

Xactly, Mary!!! Instant sticky notes!

[Barbara Ann Storrier]

Ah, I sure would love to try out that mattress! And for Puff the magic dragon, he could be tinted by selective toasting! Perfect!

[Camille]

I will let you know, Barb, if the proposal for a space ever gets approved by the museum...you can come and try out the marshmallow mattress even sleep on it over night!! LOL!

[Camille]

Ooooh...Barb...What great skin this dragon would have...all brown and bubbly...with a delicious odor too!!!!

[Barbara Ann Storrier]

LOL ... the quiet chimes reminds me of a friend who was doing a craft show and her boyfriend made candles ... someone came along and put her hand up to rattle the candles together and said "these don't make much noise" ... LOL!

[Camille]

LOL! That is so funny, Barb! Thanks for the laughs! Love Dabs

This makes me think of Project Runway when all the contestants go to the Hershey factory and are told to make garments using Hershey products. Some of the garments were so stunning especially a little red cocktail dress made from ..? long toffee strips that swished and rippled when the model walked down the runway. Dresses made from wrappers were also very innovative. It's projects like this that make people step out of the box....though I know Dan wasn't meaning literally to make art out of marshmallows.
