Things 13, 6 and How to...

I have four projects in the works for 100 things.

In this post, things #13 and 6. More to come... alas, there is always more to come.

Today's Thing:

#13. Draw a map of the creases on your hand, (knuckles, palm).

Start with the shape.

Then, focus, focus...

Draw what you see.

My friend drew her hand but also drew a diagram correlating a palm reading. She found her information here. I took the pictures this weekend, because a spider bit me while I was sleeping, right smack dab in the middle of my palm. A stigmata.

Yesterday's Thing:

#6. Glue an envelope into your journal. For one week collect items you find on the street.

How to Make an Envelope

Tools you will need:

scissors, some kind of adhesive and a folding tool.

I prefer Fiskars for scissors, Kolo adhesive tape (glue works fine too), and a bone folder (try a credit card or your finger.)

Find an interesting piece of paper. I thought this small map of Leuven would be interesting, and it is made of a heavy weight, like card stock.

Cut a rectangle, and fold in half.

Cut out a tiny part off the end, this is where you will slip items inside.

At the half mark, cut about 1/2" on either side. Then using a folding tool, fold a tiny selvage on either side.

Apply tape (or adhesive of your choice) to one half of the sides (2):
Next, use your folding tool to ensure that the sides stick together.

Finally, add strips of tape along the back so that it will be secure in your journal.

Voilà!

Items collected so far: (from top to bottom) a claim ticket of sorts, a teeny-tiny daisy, and a piece of red confetti. I'll post all the items on the 28th, next Monday.
