Day 25 of our 30 Day January Challenge was to make instructions that no one will ever need. Apparently, when artists are outlining useless instructions they are at their very best.

Welcome another selection of faves from our January 30SAL Creative Challenge. Day 7 the challenge was to transcribe Manet’s Luncheon on the Grass.
