CreativeSprint – Day 4
Take a 5 minute walk with no set destination. Make something with whatever materials you can find where you’ve ended up. Leave it for someone else to find but don’t forget to document it first!
I met up with my workout buddy after work and we walked from 2nd & Franklin to Monroe Park. Once there, I found some lovely Magnolia leaves and other tree debris and put together this rustic, au-naturale, butterfly.
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:
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!
or, how I imagine my cat sees the world.
I’ve always loved raindrops on glass. It transforms this ordinary scene into a vision of mystery, of sorrow, of yearning.
There’s something about the infinite reflections of facing mirrors that fascinates me. It’s like unfolding space into alternate dimensions, gateways to other worlds where infinite versions of ourselves are living and working and playing…and blogging.
Sometimes the elevator roulette gives me access to the freight elevator and since it has mirrored doors on both sides I’m given this visual treat.
As part of moving in with my boyfriend last month, I cleaned out the kitchen cupboards, I came across this dainty little pitcher made of beveled glass.
Zooming in on this treasure with a backdrop of a colorful scarf creates a kaleidoscopic effect. Just lovely.
…goes spring!
We’re riding the weather roller coaster here in Virginia. Daily highs of 55* slowly climb to highs near 80*, then a front rolls through and we’re back in the 50’s. So, I live for those blissful 75* days.
Our state capital is decked out in red, white and blue landscaping. So very bright and cheerful. I was happy to get up close and personal with the red tulips and even happier to find the surprise of a bright yellow “pop” in their center.
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?
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…
I’ve always been fascinated by the wondrous beauty found in nature; the play of sunlight through leaves, the swirl of a river around stones, the ever-changing clouds in the sky.
On my twice-daily walks from my parking deck to my office, I pass this tree. It fascinates me, because it’s bark cracks and peels off in almost a hexagon shape. Truly, the most unique tree I’ve ever seen.
One last note on this post. I’m not sure if this is purposeful, but the sidewalk is paved with hexagonal tiles…seems the universe is at work here.
Alas, I’ve been away for a while and I’m a bit behind…okay, a lot behind. *ack*
Preparing to move, actually moving and now recovering (and unpacking) from the move has taken three weeks of hard labor. I’ve been telling friends and family that I’m completely moved out of my old apartment but I’m far from being moved in. Having a lot to do really is an understatement.
So, I could have taken a photo of the Richmond skyline or gotten a nice shot of one of our high-rises. But, the image that means “big” to me right now is this tower of boxes in my craft room.
Keep your fingers crossed for me!
