Art Dice

Several weeks back I was a lucky winner of The Tinkerlab's giveaway of a set of fabulous, hand painted art dice!

I can't wait to put these dice to use. I just know they are going to inspire many pictures and projects for years to come.

I just love what a simple and achievable, yet totally awesome, concept these dice encourage. They are meant to inspire creativty, especially when one is feeling at an all time low! Just role the dice, see which three images appear and begin ceating. You might get a green dot, three blue lines, and a triangle. Start your drawing using those images and the next thing you know you have a masterpiece.

I am looking forward to creating my own dice too. I am thinking about making movement/dance dice. Put on a song, roll the dance dice, see what three moves appear (example: jump, twirl, shimmy!) and you have got yourself a quick way to get some new moves for the dance floor.
