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?
