Mad (dy) Libs

For much of 2021, I had no ideas. I knew I wanted to make things, but I never knew what to make. And some days I just needed to make SOMETHING to feel that satisfaction of having completed a project. So I started a sketchbook I called the “I need to make something” sketchbook, in which I made faces out of blobs and turned them into people.

When it came time to make my yearly book, I decided to use the blob faces, simply turning them into Mad(dy) Libs.

I love them. It’s so crazy where setting restraints and creativity can take you. I love it.

Face made out of collaged paper looking scared. Text says "I admit it. Sometimes I _____ the cat. Don't @ me."
Cover of little book called "Fill in the Buck!" by Maddy Buck on blue background.
Scared face made out of blob collages. Text says "I think I just saw grandma ______ in the yard."
