My "workspace" to pull materials from is a hotel room so I used a newspaper image, thread/needle, and a pressed plant for mine and did it in my sketchbook I brought on the trip. :)

My wife made this amazing cube and on each side there is a picture of my son. i just put it on top of my tea bottle, threw some pen arms on him and my headset. not too artsy-but it makes me smile.
In high school I took an art class but my teacher wouldnt let me have any canvas to paint on and I didnt have any money so I started working with whatever we had lying around.
Results...

Okay. I'm not cheating here, seriously. I have a bunch of Post-It-Note art on my walls above my drawing table. But I scanned and uploaded them to my Flickr account. You could go here to check them out:

I love this idea! I've had this can that I collect soda can tabs in and I've wanted to do something with it for a long time just sitting in my room and now I have the chance! I am really happy with the results - Just two straps that I cut out of an old t-shirt that are woven through the tab holes to make a bracelet!

I don't have an office. I work at a gas station. So this is what I had to work with.

It's amazing when you read a prompt like this and you have a shiny new roll of duct tape in your desk drawer. Life is funny that way.

roboclip has a girl right hand and a boy left hand. with hard-to-look-at amputated roboclip hands lying in ruins behind his paper-shredded path. cool.
here's my work artwork (see what I did there?)
All pieces were made 100% of thermal paper labels with no extra tape or supplies.

@alanharris123 all staplers are scary. it's their latent ability to wound that is so creepy. :) i love this.
Wow, there are some pretty good ideas out there so far!
Here are mine, I took three to try and get good angles. The camera blurred a bit, sorry.

"I'm tired of stapling math work together! ARRRRGGGG FEED ME!!!" That's... that's what I imagine the stapler to say if he, you know, spoke.
P.S. I am awesome artist, don't you think so? Much better than everyone here.
I'm just basking in my artistic brilliance.

This is the best one that I've done so far. Tell me what you think.
A pretty bad submission, but this is what I came up with:

By the way, I just now realized that each day has the same recurring theme or challenge or discussion. Don't hate on the slow brain.



























@guitardub love it! very creative little origami bird
