Free Association/Sand Art

Free Association is the building block many writers use to create a story. Sand Art is fun,creative,a good therapy,hobby, or profit making business. This month we will check these topics out.

Free Association is writing down a theme like Summer,Winter, Vacation,Wedding,etc.,then writing down words you associate with that theme. It is pretty easy and creative. Write down your theme word,then write two to twenty words you associate with theme. Next write a few sentences using the theme and words. Write a nonfiction,fiction,piece,then poem. Look at what you wrote. Can anything be a complete short story,or poem. Work with your ideas and writing till you create something that sells or can be published online/offline. Good Luck!

Sand Art is art using sand. Sand Art is fun,good therapy for hand exercise and tactile skills,great hobby,and you can even make a profit from it. For beginners,children/adults I suggest: Sandart For advance artists try making a drawing with sand. Draw your outline on canvas using pencil,put clear glue in outline,add colored sand,there you have it!,let dry two hours. Ceramic buffs use sand instead of clay,glaze,heat,a sand castle. Plants make great gifts. Make a terrarium using sand,put in layers,add small plant,there you got it. Use a clear glass bowl,to make designs,use a small paint brush or pencil. Draw a v in your layers of sand and watch the neat design it creates. Sand Castles are beautiful and a great hobby. Even though it may be winter for most of us it still is a good thing to check out.
