Creative Prompt Project - Abundance

Creative Prompt #108
Meet "Bubble Heart"
This might be a bit of a stretch for the word ABUNDANCE but the heart I made for myself a few days ago has an ABUNDANCE of circles in the fabric pattern :) It took an ABUNDANCE of snips to fray the edge and a number of fabric circles to create the flower. My new heart is currently hanging from my peg board which has definitely got an abundance of holes in it !!!!


So which definition of ABUNDANCE did I go with....... "overflowing fullness:abundance of the heart."

Creative Prompt Project - TWIST

Another photograph for this week. This is what happens to your truck when you slide on black ice, fly through the air and land sideways in a ditch - a lot of TWIST(ED) wreckage :) (The accident was in February and I have recovered quite well. Thanks for the concern.)


Hope everyone has a wonderful Thanksgiving. I for one am thankful for life, family, friends and the beauty around us.



One of my Celtic Knots for a signature block swap event I participated in. Love Celtic knots with all their TWIST(S) and turns

Creative Prompt Project - Sparkle

I opted for a photograph I took last christmas of a little vignette I created. For me SPARKLE is associated with light of some kind. It is a joyful, fun word that brings happiness. Sparkle can create moods anywhere from frothy to drama.
So now that I've said all that I just realized the prompt word is Twinkle. I think my santa covers both words. He sparkles in the mini lights which make his little jewels twinkle :)

Creative Prompt Project #92-MOVE

Okay so with this one I got whimsical and based my sketch on the sound cows make :)

I like to draw on tracing paper and put colored paper behind it just to see what happens. This time round it is placed over a sunset/sunrise. The "randoms" could be clouds or cow hide patterns (no not patties) ....... whatever Moooooves you in your singalong :)

Creative Prompt Project -Autumn

We have two tall scarecrows that sit in our front entryway during part of October and November. They are supposed to sit outside but after a couple of years I got a bit weary of picking them up every time  gusty winds knocked them over. So my sketch for today shows part of one of them. He used to have a perky hat like his companion but it is now keeps falling off his head ... poor wee thing.
Taking photographs at my house can be a bit of a challenge and today was no exception. My download cord had fallen behind my sewing machine desk last night when I was attaching scout badges to my son's uniform. Now I have to tidy up my sewing room .... again.
I took the photo in our sun room - which is slowly filling up with the hubsters main hobby, Lego and Technics - next to this beastie which almost poked me in the eye. It needs repotting but after my last painful experience doing that I might have to invest in a suit of armor.

Creative Prompt Challenge

I've decided to take part in the Creative Prompt Project. I want to get back to drawing/painting on a regular basis. I think it will help my design/quilting/embroidery creativity. The prompt is posted at http://artquiltmaker.com/blog/ every Friday but I will probably post my effort on Wednesday's.

I'll put the link in my side bar and if you are interested in participating it will take you to the start page.
The current prompt till this Friday is #90-symbol. I am looking at Celtic symbols since they are part of my life as a Scot that is interested in history. I'll add my drawing as soon as it is finished.

So here's my sketch. Not your typical Celtic Knot :) (I did it in pencil first then went over it in ink.)
