Description:
Remember cootie catchers? They were those folded paper â€œfortune tellersâ€? that usually made the rounds during 5th grade recess. Well, we are going to create a more artistic version! The challenge is to take the basic folded origami paper toy and then "art" it up. Get really creative with decorating/embellishing. You can use tyvek as a base (Idea courtesy of LMN) or interfacing with fabric or a page from a sturdy book.....or whatever else you come up with! NO RESTRICTIONS ON SIZE, STYLE, MEDIA, OR THEME. All I ask is that you approach it as ART, not as ("just") a playground game... If anyone would like to host a "cootie catcher" swap for children that would be wonderful, but I would like this particular swap to be approached as art for adults. Here are the rules: Make 1 REALLY "Decked" out cootie catcher Open to all with a 4.8 rating or higher. No recent no sends. No newbies (sorry) THIS IS AN INTERNATIONAL SWAP You can find BASIC instructions for the cootie catcher/fortune teller at: www.squiglysplayhouse.com/ArtsAndCrafts/Crafts/CootieCatchers
