THIS WEEK I CANNED A RAINBOW AND CREATED A LIGHT CAPTURING DEVICE... WHAT DID YOU DO?

The theme of my first assignment for Core Studies is light. The aim is to "capture light" in a faithful, unexpected and intriguing way.  I've played around with a few ideas and methods but heres the stuff I'm most proud of. So far my Core studies journal is 30 pages long and it's only been a week!

Here's how these ideas evolved in my journal. I do have 28 other pages of ideas but most were really lame ones.

I created the light play cage but it turned into a cat toy...
