Austin Creative Reuse (ACR) does monthly craft challenges. This was my first one to participate in. Challenge: rethink a slide projector. When I saw this challenge, I knew exactly what I wanted to make..A Lighthouse. I paid 25 cents for the slide projector and came home and immediately started creating.
Painted some old plastic flower pots for the lighthouse. Added the slide projector as the observation deck. The piece sitting under the "light" was part of the slide projector turned upside down so that it would sit on the slide projector. Top of the lighthouse is a plastic silo cup that has been painted to have same color/texture as everything else. The light is a flameless tea light.
Ocean was created with paint and blowing the paint around to try to create waves. Rocks added to created the landscape. Large foam brush used for the door of the lighthouse. Mermaid cabachon and Lego sailor along with mini rowboat added, which gives this entry a storyline without having to use words.
