Roll-a-Cat Colorful

Quick Crafts, Clever Engineering, Colorful Design

overview

we love this project for the combination of craft and color with a twist. here, the dice plays the role of the *randomizer* – each time you play, you end up with a different design!

taking inspiration from artist Laurel Burch, we use color, pattern, repetition and dice to roll a super unique pet!
