That one on Topanga Canyon was indeed problematic....
Materials Needed:
• Popped popcorn
Tidy Way:
• Computer, art/design software, scanner and printer if you want to create and print electronically
Or Hands-On:
• Felt tip markers or paint
• Glue
• Paper or structure to glue your finished popcorn sculpture to
Inspired by Harry Kalenbergs' Pop-N-Paint® and cloud gazing with your imagination, our popcorn “art” will give your brain a creative workout!
The idea is to use popped popcorn as a basis for creating people, places, or things you “see” (think clouds!) in the form. It can be done quickly with markers or paint, or turned into a digital art form after scanning popcorn into an image editing program and applying virtual colors and filters.
Try It!
1. Pop some popcorn and spend time looking at a few pieces with your imagination. Notice the overall form of each piece and take note at what “pops” into your mind. (By the way, this popcorn is not for eating — unless you can't help it, of course!)
2. Once you have identified a possible subject, use your markers or paint (or image editing program) to apply color, texture, or form to your subject.
Note: The advantage of doing this on a computer is that you are not limited to creating on the popcorn itself (see images to right). The disadvantage is that you only get one perspective to work with once you've scanned in the popcorn.
Tips: Try to create with a theme in mind. For instance, create a barnyard full of animals, a family of insects, or TV show characters. Remember, since no two pieces of popcorn are alike, you only get one chance at rendering what you see!
3. Allow your artwork on the popcorn to dry — and you're finished!
To preserve your work, arrange and glue your popcorn art to paper or other suitable surface to hang or display. If you wish to keep your art indefinitely, you can probably use a spray lacquer preservative or finish found in craft stores.
What You'll Learn:
That it's okay to play with your food! And if you scan your popcorn into an image editing program, you'll quickly begin thinking of all the other “things” you can possibly scan!

Alabamians are the same way. If you empty your water cup out the window of your car or use your washer it will cause a 10 car pile up behind you. If there is ice in the cup, 20 cars.

If there is beer in the cup....200 cars!!
Thank y'all so much for the lovely poem and graphic!
I hate the drivers here. I hate them everywhere.
Okay, let me know if you're going to be in town and I'll try to stay out of your way...
P.S. will you be driving your tank when you're here?
Pouring out beer is a capital offense.
Agreed!
will do
Too much gas. I just drive it locally.
Hi PAL! The past couple of days have been crazy. I think it's supposed to be in the 40s today, but I haven't been outside since I got here. I'm finally getting a chance to sit down at my computer for more than a couple of minutes, but I don't know how long that will last. LOL!
