That’s my name

CreativeSprint – Day 3

Make something inspired by your own name.

For those of you who don’t know, my name is Denise.

Thoughts on wordplay:

Denise, derived from Dionysus, the Greek god of wine – still-life with wine and cheese, use wine to paint a butterfly…
Den-ise – ice – butterfly ice sculpture, ice cubes arranged in the shape of a butterfly…
De-nise – nice – knees – draw butterflies on both my knees….

Choices, choices, choices…and the winner is…

…wine, of course!

I used two red blends and a Moscato for the “watercolor” portion, then added detail with markers. And bonus, I got to enjoy a glass of wine while I worked. Fabulous!

The butterfly princess and the seed

CreativeSprint – Day 2

Author Hans Christian Anderson was born on this day in 1805. Make something inspired by a children’s fable or fairy tale.

My first inspiration was the fairy tale “The Princess and the Pea” and since my theme for this challenge is butterflies (my blog is My Dreaming Butterfly after all) I decided to give a butterfly princess a bed of blossoms. Will she feel the seed hidden beneath them?

In the palm of my hand

CreativeSpint – Day 1:

Create something that can fit in the palm of your hand, using materials in your immediate environment.

So, I was at work when the assignment came and used post-its, paperclips, tape and highlighters. Voila, une papillon de papier…

CreativeSprint

by D.M. SessousMarch 31, 2016January 29, 2017

Have you heard about this?

I’m a fan of the Skull-a-day author Noah Scalin. He was a panelist for a James River Writers seminar where he introduced his book “Unstuck” in 2011. Since then I’ve been on the lookout for a smaller, more doable challenge and when I saw this 30-day sprint mentioned in the blog-sphere, I signed up.

That was months ago. So long ago in fact, I’d forgotten about it. Then, in the throes of my despair of being so far behind on the Photo 101 blog prompts, along comes the email saying that the CreativeSprint will start soon. In fact, it starts tomorrow, April 1, 2016.

And, that’s no joke. Looks like I’m going to be a very busy girl, very soon.

The only rule is that you do one creative thing a day for 30 days. You can give yourself a theme (the color pink, smiley faces, butterflies, shot glasses) or a method/medium (photography, watercolor, sculpture) to interpret with each daily challenge. Or, change things up day by day.

So, keep your fingers crossed for me as I dive in feet first into another creative blogging endeavor.
