Arts & Crafts [Period 1, 6/1]

Sophie was burying her yawns in a cup of coffee as she greeted the class. "Good morning, I'm Sophie Devereaux. I'm substituting for Mr. Rogers this week; he had an out-of-town emergency. He's left me instructions on how you can all make lanyards, though, as well as key chains, if you prefer. Have fun with the beads and cords, and, well. I can't really answer any questions. I'm a fan of art, not an artist. Have at it!"

Maybe Constable Fraser would appreciate a nice gift?

Jennifer quietly busied herself with the beads, starting work on a lanyard. She also had her evidence bag from Criminal Justice with her, just in case.

"Which are you going for?" Angela asked, looking at what the other girl was doing. She was still in the process of picking out a colour scheme for hers. It was important!

Re: Craft/Chatter

"The lanyard," Jennifer said. She had rather swiftly chosen purple and green lace, herself. "Don't really have enough keys to warrant a key chain."

Re: Craft/Chatter

"I don't really know what I'd do with a lanyard," Angela admitted, pulling out a few shades of pink to plait together. "And I really only have the key to my room."

Re: Craft/Chatter

"I think I'll..." Jennifer trailed off. "I might send it home. Father's Day present, I guess."

Re: Craft/Chatter

[flashesforinfo.livejournal.com]

"Always an idea," Angela agreed, considering that herself. "That's soon, right?" Honestly, she couldn't remember an exact date. Her dad usually wasn't around for that sort of thing anyway.

Re: Craft/Chatter

[not-jaded-yet.livejournal.com]

"Soon," Jennifer said. "And I have a lot to make sure he knows I'm grateful for."

Re: Craft/Chatter

[flashesforinfo.livejournal.com]

Angela nodded, smiling a little at that. Sounded like a nice relationship they had.

She looked at the colours she'd picked out. "Yeah, I think I won't be sending mine to my dad." She just couldn't see pink going with his image.

Re: Craft/Chatter

[not-jaded-yet.livejournal.com]

Sadly, it was more sort of Jennifer's current idealism than the actual realities of the situation.

Jennifer chuckled at Angela's comment. "He's not a big fan of pink?"

Re: Craft/Chatter

"I just don't see it suiting him," she said with a bit of a laugh of her own.

She smiled thoughtfully. Maybe give it to Hannibal... He'd hate the pink, but might keep it purely because she made it for him. You never knew.

"Pink is more my choice."

Re: Craft/Chatter

[not-jaded-yet.livejournal.com]

"Yeah, I don't think purple would be my dad's choice, either," Jennifer said. "I'm Jennifer, by the way."

Re: Craft/Chatter

"Angela," she told her in return. "Hi."

"And I'm sure if you give it to him, he'll like it anyway. Dad's are usually great like that."

Oooh! Beads!

Zack was going to attempt to make a butterfly keychain, maybe to give to someone, or maybe to keep for himself, or maybe...

Maybe he'd just figure out what he was going to do with it as soon as he could get the beads to stop rolling away, and the string to go in the right directions. His butterfly looked more like a squid.

Re: Craft/Chatter

Claudia glanced over from her lanyard, which was turning into a belt, at Zack's project. "Are you making a squid?"

Re: Craft/Chatter

[puppy_fair]

"It was kind of going to be a butterfly," Zack sighed, frowning down at the mess of beads and string before looking up at Claudia again with a grin. "But I think it's a squid now, by default. How's it look?"

He held it up so she could have a better view of it.

It was... definitely a squid. He'd managed to completely fail at 'butterfly,' there.

[I'm fleeing out the door in about five minutes for work. Do you mind SP?]

Re: Craft/Chatter

[gudspellr-claud.livejournal.com]

"It's very squid-y," Claudia assured him, "and squid are harder to make than butterflies."

Maybe?

[OOC: We loves the SP, precious!]

Re: Craft/Chatter

[puppy_fair]

"You know," Zack mused, lifting up his beaded squid by one eyebrow and looking it over thoughtfully, "I bet if I was trying to make a squid, it would have been a really pretty butterfly?"

He grinned faintly, and then shrugged.

"So. Do you like squid?"

Re: Craft/Chatter

[gudspellr-claud.livejournal.com]

"As decoration or to eat?" Claudia asked.

Re: Craft/Chatter

[puppy_fair]

"Either or," Zack laughed, setting the keychain on the desk and then grabbing it by another tentacle. It was totally creeping across the desk toward her, now.

He was easily amused.

"I hear squid are pretty versatile that way!"

"My parents tried to get me into eating dried squid as a snack food when I was a kid," Claudia said, "but I liked M&Ms better."

Re: Craft/Chatter

[puppy_fair]

"You know, I've never actually heard of those?"

The boy had a pocket full of Pixy Stix. And now he was going to be educated about another kind of candy? The world as we know it probably didn't have long to live.

"But they already sound better than dried squid. Why would anyone dry it, anyhow?"

Re: Craft/Chatter

[gudspellr-claud.livejournal.com]

Oh Lord, as Claudia would say, if she could read narrative.

"I don't know why you'd dry it," she admitted. "It's a little like eating rubber bands, so I'll pass. Omigod you have to try M&Ms," she said, reaching into her enormous purse and pulling out a bag of M&Ms.

Re: Craft/Chatter

[puppy_fair]

"Ooh, I'd love to, thanks!"

Abandon all hope, ye who enter here!

"I have a few Pixy Stix on me, if you'd like to trade!"

Éowyn was very careful with the beads, certain that if she didn't pay attention, she would end up with them in her lap, or scattered across the floor. Looking over the instructions, she decided to make one of the chains that looked like a butterfly.
