Item 133 – Misha and the Queen – Pez Dispensers
Misha and Queen Elizabeth II Pez dispensers.
Item 129 – Every Child Matters
As you know, in Canada, a series of horrific discoveries has been taking place at the sites of former residential schools, proving the genocide of Indigenous children. Read this article to understand what happened and why the orange shirt has become an emblem for supporting Indigenous children, then create an orange poster design that reads “Every Child Matters.” (To avoid cultural appropriation, do not use Indigenous symbols unless you are personally Indigenous.) Post your poster image to social media with a link to https://www.irsss.ca/ or another Indigenous Canadian group to show support.
Item 125 – Tiny Grass Basket
Weave a tiny basket out of reeds, grasses, and other vegetation. As in, make a really, really tiny little basket. The more detailed and more tiny, the better.
Item 124 – Supernatural-Decorated Remote
For the amount of time it actually spends in your hands commanding the video display unit to project reruns of favorite “Supernatural” episodes, your TV remote is woefully under-decorated. Fix that problem with some appropriate (or inappropriate) demon/ghost/vampire banishment/slaying adornment.
Item 123 – Office Art 2: The Reboot!
OK, we get it. Sometimes your official work assignments aren’t exactly the mind-challenging escapades that you deserve. So instead, you have taken to office art as an outlet for your creative and time-filling talents. It’s time for Office Art 2: The Reboot! Show off your very best, most impressive sculpture made entirely out of standard office supplies. It must include a sticky note didactic that says “GISH 2021” in the image.
Item 121 – Handwich and Fr-eyes
Make a handwich. Let’s see it on a plate next to some yummy fr-eyes. You know what to do.
Item 119 – Saturn in Opposition
Time to put a ring on it: At 2:00AM ET on Monday, August 2, Saturn will be in opposition. Capture the best photograph that you can of the planet Saturn at the moment of closest approach to Earth. Image processing (e.g. image stacking, focus stacking) is allowed, but the source images must be acquired within 12 hours of opposition (so you can do this one from anywhere in the world). – Dave L.
Item 117 – Can Opener Key Donation
If there’s a key, then there must also be a lock: too many food banks get donations of canned goods, but that presumes that people experiencing homelessness have access to can openers. Help unlock access to food for people in need: donate a manual can opener decorated as a beautiful “key” along with some non-perishable food, if you CAN.
Item 114 – Genomic in Situ Hybridization
As all Gishers know, GISH isn’t just the “Greatest International Scavenger Hunt,” it’s also genomic in situ hybridization, which is useful for differentiating genomes in a hybrid and also makes for some fascinating pictures. Depict the Beeline or another GISH hybrid as though utilizing GISH or multicolor (mc-GISH) diagramming techniques.
