Kami Kinard

Kinard used duct tape to create her dot in homage to her character Kara McAllister, whose creativity with duct tape helps her resolve conflicts in The Boy Project. The patterning on the tape reflect the cupcake, mustache and skateboard themes from The Boy Problem. A former educator, Kinard co-founded Kidlit Summer School www.nerdychickswrite.com.

    Kami, this dot is BRILLIANT! I missed so many of these, thinking only the ones I got emailed about are all that posted. I'm SO glad I didn't miss this! And I'm amazed you found duct tape with all those patterns lol I thought they only came in solid colors! You afford SO many kinds of education, even for duct tape variety :D Love the trailer, too! Yay for DOT DAY! :D

    Thank you so much! It was fun to make. I had to put a strip of paper on the back of each piece of tape to keep it from sticking to itself. :)
