Item 47 – Unicorn Livestream

Rachel Miner brings all the unicorns to the yard. Let’s see the largest gathering of unicorns watching her panel! Take a photo of yourself, dressed as a unicorn (homemade costume is perfect if you don’t have a unicorn costume in your closet for some strange reason), watching her #FestivalAndBeyond Livestream to benefit Random Acts’ COVID Relief efforts. Bonus points: make a donation to Random Acts to help support COVID relief, and share the two photos side-by-side.

GISH Play-at-Home Round 1 – Item 43 – Toothpaste Portrait

It’s such a pity that a prolific painter like yourself is low on supplies. Luckily, you still have plenty of toothpaste. Create a tiny toothpaste portrait of your favorite celebrity on the mirror and tag them with “Hey (their username), you make me smile.” Post your portrait on social media tagged #GISH.

GISH Play-at-Home Round 1 – Item 40 – Macro Toe Drawing

SIDE-BY-SIDE IMAGES. English sculptor Henry Moore once said: “Drawing, even for people who cannot draw, even for people not trying to produce a good drawing, makes you look more intensely.” Produce a detailed, super-up-close macro drawing or painting of your best friend’s big toe or nostril. Submit side-by-side with a photo of the reference you used.

GISH Play-at-Home Round 1 – Item 38 – Endangered Species Cardboard Tube Sculpture

Toilet paper is getting scarce, and so are a lot of animals on the planet. Create a sculpture of an endangered species from empty toilet-tissue tubes(s) and/or paper towel tubes.

GISH Play-at-Home Round 1 – Item 35 – Delivery Box Mythical Creature

Some people believe big corporations are big bad monsters that gobble up little businesses, destroy our environment, and have way too much control over our buying habits. Others believe that their economic angels and that they help lower prices for consumers, provide more job opportunities, and stimulate economic prosperity. Clearly the individual that should resolve this dichotomy is… a child. With your child (or a child) as your lead designer, make a mythical creature out of all those boxes you have in your garage from big box stores and corporations that is either monster-like or fairy and angelic like – your child’s choice! – Inspired by Casey Elaine L.

GISH Play-at-Home Round 1 – Item 33 – #FeedHeroNurses

Feed local first responders (Fire/EMS/Police), healthcare professionals (including doctors, nurses, vet offices, respiratory therapists, orderlies), or essential workers on the job by arranging delivery of meals from a local business to your local heroes. Get the delivery worker to conspire with you by snapping a pic posed with your recipients, and post it online tagged #FeedHeroNurses, #GISH, and @RandomActsOrg.

Behind the Scenes

GISH Play-at-Home Round 1 – Item 32 – The Ballot Bunch

You’ve heard of the “Brady Bunch”… what about the Ballot Bunch? Get 8 of your US-citizen friends to join you in a “Brady Bunch”-style grid pose with you holding up your downloaded mail-in ballots or proof that you requested them, if your state doesn’t allow instant downloads. Post it online tagged #TheBallotBunch & #GISH telling your friends to do it, too. (And that’s the way we became the Civically-Engaged Bunch!)

GISH Play-at-Home Round 1 – Item 31 – Trash Portrait

Don’t take the trash out!! Instead, use it to create a beautiful portrait of someone famous you admire. You may use pencil shavings, fireplace ash, used coffee grounds, grass clippings, dryer lint, etc. When you’re done, post it on social media and tag them and @GISH. Submit an image of your artwork. – Deidra L.
