Stuck deciding on your next project? Do you want to use what you have instead of buying new? Do you find yourself shopping for art & craft products more than creating wth them? If so, you have come to the right place!
Today, I am going to show you how to make a random art generator tool! This idea builds on the Art Dice amzn.to/3Lpg5js (you don't need these, but they are what gave me the idea, and I think they are fun!) I have been using them for 2 years, when I got in a creative fun,k but I always wished they were more specific to the supplies I had, so I decided to make my own!
Supplies I am using (you can easily use strips of paper in a jar so no need to buy anything if you don't want to) Affiliate links used.
1" wood dice (pack of 30) amzn.to/44NHmmn
Ultra fine tip black sharpie: amzn.to/49jZzcx
Paint pens (Arrtx 48 pack but acrylic paint can be used as well) amzn.to/3MQFfIp
I also think the color cubes work well with this if you have them! sarahrenaeclark.com/colorcube/?ref=98
If you have the color cubes, you will want a 10-sided die numbered 0-9. You can roll that 3 times (or use 3) to generate a number between 1 and 999 to use if you have all volumes. If you only have a certain volumes, you can adjust the first or last number as needed. I took a die from a game I already had or you can make or buy one: amzn.to/4q65TvA
*It just occurred to me that you could roll a dice to decide how manty cubes to roll as well! The Possibilities are endless!
