Welcome to Inspire Me Thursday...   A weekly dose of inspiration for
mixed media artists and creative types to nurture their muses and CREATE!

Cereal Box Art

This week’s challenge is Cereal Box Art. Grab an empty box and get your creative groove on. Cut it up, transform it into a sculpture of some sort, or use it as a canvas, like Carla Sonheim does with her Cereal Box Transfer Paintings. Head over to Carla’s blog and follow her three-part tutorial to give it a try:

· Cereal Box Transfer Paintings : Part 1
· Cereal Box Transfer Paintings : Part 2
· Cereal Box Transfer Paintings : Part 3

More Ideas + Inspiration:
· Cereal Box a la Keri Smith
· Cereal Box and Milk Carton Placemat
· Cereal Box Bookbinding
· Don’t have a cereal box? Use this template to make your own.

· · ·

After you’ve completed your cereal box art, post it on your blog, then leave your link* in the comments section of this post so we can go check it out.

* To ensure it is easy for us to find your work, please provide a link to a static page that will always show your submission, and not your website’s main page. Help! What’s a static page?

peace+joy,

    [...] are just about the only things that ever occurred to me when I thought of cereal; but this week the Inspire Me Thursday challenge was to grab an empty cereal box and get creative. Since it is the month of October and all things [...]

    Thank you for the idea! I never considered using cereal boxes as a paint canvas; I will likely play with this one some more.

    For now, since we are in need of a few more Halloween decorations and I am refusing to buy them, here’s what we did:

    This is late, because I didn’t plan on doing this prompt, since it doesn’t fit with any current projects.

    But I surprised myself and did it anyway.

    Contemplation - it seems very late to be doing this cereal box prompt but I really appreciate that the prompts are now left up for a few weeks instead of just one.
    I absolutely love Carla Sonheim’s cereal box art. I decided to give it a bit of my own twist.
