Photo Hunt: Ruin(ed)


We tried out our new Creativity for Kids Pottery Studio yesterday; here is Jammy's work of art. It was supposed to be a teacup, but somewhere along the way the edges grew lopsided and the sides fell flat. Ruined? Not according to him. He set to work embellishing it and turned it into a plate. I guess it will look better once it's painted. But to him -- and to me -- it looks pretty good just the way it is.

And one more thing: Come and stop by my review blog, Bonggamom Finds! I'm giving away fun toys all month long, including a Russ Seapals stuffed toy, I-Dog Clip toy, and more!

  2. A one-of-a-kind creation. Way to take something "ruined" and turn it into something useful. Fun. Great choice for The Hunt.

    Thanks for stopping by BonggaMom!

    I love the textures of "ruined". Here's mine:

  5. A new perspective can certainly change what seems to be a ruin into a treasure! Great shot!

  6. That's clever. That's what you call making the most of the situation and even better. :)

  8. That is very resourceful to be able to take what didn't turn out one way and use it for something else!

  10. A ruined teacup, but still a treasure for something else. A key or coin holder, could be!

    I did Photo Hunt today, too. I hope you get a chance to visit and leave your link!

  13. How creative - you must be very proud that he turned one ruin into something more useful. Many kids would just give up and throw away the unfinished project.
    Thanks for stopping by. I have never heard of Chi-Chi Cupcake Stores - yikes $3.25 for one cupcake! And I was complaining about $1 for a donut. Now, I know I really am out of touch with reality!

  14. Well, you could use it to hold keys or loose change :) I always treasure every piece of artwork created by my kids.

  18. That's a lovely piece of art. I agree with Photo Cache, it would be perfect for holding keys and perhaps some loose change.

  19. I remember my first bowl turned out just like that! We stuffed it in a plastic bowl, smoothed it down, and waited (a long time!) until it dried!
