Spin art

What's up everybody! It's been a while since I've done crafts so today I'm going to try this spin art kit. I've got my trusty craft apron on for this project, and it looks like I'll need it too!

First, let's cover our workspace with newspaper and lay out all the materials. We have a spinner, some paint, and circle paper that will be our canvas.

I'll first add three drops of blue paint onto the paper.

Then I pull the little lever on the side of the red spinner and get it going! When it spins, the paint flies out to the edges. Whoa, be careful it doesn't get on my fur!

Let's add more paint to it and see what it will look like.

Cool! Each design is unique. It is getting a bit messy here so I have to be careful.

I made several of them. What do you think? Do you have a favorite one?

The Joy of Painting, Episode 2

Hello everyone! My name is Bear Ross and I'd like to welcome you to The Joy Of Painting, Episode 2. If you've been following along, you might remember our first episode. Thanks for joining us once again!

Today, I'm going to introduce a new painting technique to you with this Bob Ross paint-by-number kit.

I'll just set up all my materials here. You can get your canvas and paints and brushes out too, and paint happily here with us today. We love having you enjoying this wonderful way to relax and have fun!

This kit comes with three different pre-numbered canvasses. I'm going to go with this beautiful mountain scene right here.

First, I'll fill in the trees with nice green colors. There we go. Nice and green, happy little trees.

Whoops, I painted outside the lines... don't worry about that. Here, we have no mistakes, just happy accidents.

Now, let's give this some water. I love painting water. Remember, this is your world, your creation. You have unlimited power on this canvas. You can do whatever you want here. Let's fill in some nice mountains in the background. And then let's add some happy little clouds floating in the sky.

Alright, well I think we have a finished painting here! Remember, there is an artist within each and every one of you.

Thank you for painting with us today! See you on the next episode of The Joy of Painting!

Pumpkin decorating

Hey everyone, hope you're having a good day! I got a pumpkin to decorate a couple of days ago. It's the perfect size for me, don't you think?

Right now, I'm thinking of different ways to decorate my pumpkin.

Should I make it creepy and scary, or funny and silly?

Either way, this could get messy, so I'm going to put it underneath a sheet of newspaper to protect my work area.

And I have some paints and things here, so let me just try some things.

"Woof?"

Ah, yes, I think that's it! That will look beary nice indeed!

"Woof?"

Okay, all done! Are you ready? Do you want to see my decorated pumpkin?

Well, here it is! I give you...

...THE JACKSON POLLOCK PUMPKIN!

Isn't it beautiful?

 

"WOOF???"

I mean, just look at all the vibrant colors used here! Isn't it fantastic?

I love my decorated pumpkin, and I think I'll enter it in Jerry and Ben's Halloween Contest for the best decoration category.

Have you decorated for Halloween yet?

Model Rocket Ship: Part 2

Hi everyone! We're back. The model rocket ship has been glued together is now dry. It's ready to paint.

I have the best assistant here to help me.

"Woof!"

Look at all these paint colors!

I'm going to get straight to work!

Some details on the wings will be a nice added touch...

The wheels will be black...

I will paint "USA" on the side so aliens will know what country it is from...

And a rocket ship wouldn't be complete without the NASA logo!

Wow, it's done! It looks great!

Thank you Parker, for your help!

The only thing that would be even better than this model rocket ship is if I am selected to become an astrobear! I hope I hear back from NASA soon...

Art set

"Hey Ajdin, come over here," Uncle Tibbs said.  "I have something to give to you."

"But first, close your eyes."

"Okay, I am closing my eyes," I said.

"Close both of your eyes, Ajdin."

"Okay, I am closing both of my eyes for real this time," I said.

"Are you peeking?" he asked.

"No, I am not peeking," I said.

"Okay, you can open them on the count of three," he said.  "One... two... three!"

"Wow!" I exclaimed.  "An art set!"

I eagerly opened up the box.

"OH COOL!  There are paints and a paintbrush on one side, and on the other there are crayons!"  I was so excited.

"I hope you like it, Ajdin," Uncle Tibbs giggled.  "Every little bear should have some paints and crayons."

"Oh yes I do, beary much, Uncle Tibbs!  Thank you for this cool art set.  I am such a lucky bear."

Now what should I paint with it?
