Creative Outlet

August has been a productive month in the yard and in making over my studio… but that’s been the limit of my creative endeavors.  But since I didn’t show my ICAD pieces from last month, I’ll do that now. 

 

 

Week 5:

Row 1 –

1.  A quick aura knot I sketched.  The colors are inspired by Little Hoss’ 3rd birthday party – John Deere tractors!

2.  The theme was ‘your name in black’ but I was feeling rebellious.  It also incorporated the themes “red, white, & blue” and “stripes”. 

3.  It was a bit rainy for a while.  That gauge finally topped out at a bit over 3 inches!

Row 2:

1.  Memories of a trip to the Museum of Transportation in St. Louis.  Had a fun morning there with the kids.

2.  Monochromatic arches. 

Row 3:

1. A sketch of my first camera given to me by my great-grandma.

2.  Calendar prompt.  Also for “summertime”.

 

 

Week 6:

Row 1 –

1.  The prompt was “nail polish”… so that’s what I used!  (The shades that look ‘black’ are actually deep red or medium purple). 

2.  Psychedelic

3.  Notes from Sunday School class and my doodles.

Row 2 –

1.  For the ‘rainbow’ prompt.

2.  “Chess board” sketch

Row 3 –

1.  This one was for several prompts – “Fish”, “use a word”, and “red & yellow”.

2.  Photo card – this is ‘Cobalt’, the male blue bird who lives in my yard.  He lets everyone know that is HIS birdbath!

 

 

Week 7:

Row 1 –

1.  Trying a technique – I hammered a geranium flower to make an image.

 

2.  Another for “summertime”.

 

Row 2 –

1.  For the prompt “graffiti” – a photo I took.

 

2.  Happy Birthday to me!  LOL

 

Row 3 –

1.  One of Little Bird’s favorite animals!

 

2.  “Orange”

 

3.  For the prompt – “The last 5 books you read” (#1)

 

 

Week 8:

1.  A doodle while I was waiting on something.

 

2.  Doodled notes from Sunday School class.

 

3.  For “logo” I used the bag from my birthday present from my sister. 

 

I didn’t finish the ‘Index Card a Day’ challenge as that’s when it started getting busy around here.  But it was so much fun that I think I’m going to start up again in September.

 

… but perhaps without the ‘daily’ pressure…
