Pinhole Photography

What is pinhole photography?

Pinhole photography is the use of a small dark chamber with one small hole in it. Among other things, you can use a Pringles Can, a green pepper or a shoe box! How does a pinhole camera work? The light reflects off of the object and goes through the pinhole and is projected onto a screen and images look upside down. It is unique because you are using the earliest form of photography. Pinhole cameras have been used for looking at eclipes of the sun.
I made a pinhole camera out of a Pringles Can.

Here is the link to the instructions I used: http://www.exploratorium.edu/science_explorer/pringles_pinhole.html

Make-Up Creativity Design Project


The inspiration for my make up creativity design was my grandmother. She likes to do puzzles in the summer when I visit her. One time she bought a puzzle of all four seasons. I liked the idea of a puzzle face girl for my make up creativity design. But just a puzzle face girl was not enough. So, I remembered the puzzle my grandmother bought and decided to go for the four seasons idea. My design is a girl’s face with puzzle pieces on her face representing all four seasons. I chose the title, “The Seasons of Life” because in life things change.

Stitch and Sew

On Easter Sunday I made a fabulous dress.
It is a quite simple to make a dress.
Just get some pre-smocked elasticized material from JoAnn's Fabrics. First you iron your cloth then sew up the hem at the bottom. Then you sew the sides together. If you want straps, you add straps. I chose strapless.
This simple and affordable dress is great for putting on over your bathing suit if you want to go to the beach, a pool party or to wear out and about and around the town.

Flower Headbands

One day I went to JoAnn's Fabrics and Crafts and saw flowers and an idea popped into my head. Why don't we make flower headbands?

I asked my mom if we could buy the materials and she said, "Yes."
