Too fast! I've been enjoying the Creativity Boot Camp and now that I'm in the swing of things I've realized it is going to end. Soon.
JOURNAL PROMPT
There is no journal writing assignment
today. {didn’t you all do enough writing this weekend???} Instead, I’d
like you to create in a way that you haven’t for years. Paint, color,
doodle, sew, write, work with clay {or play doh}…you get the drift. Mix
it up. Practice art for the simple love of art itself.
I have to agree that plenty of writing was completed this weekend and I finished another stream of consciousness writing exercise today. So cathartic! Unsharable since it is metaphorically ripped up - I deleted the file - but still a great process.
My creative project today was to dust off my charcoal and pulled out my sketchbook. Wonderfully messy. I'm terrible, totally lost my eye after a couple of decades of no eye-hand coordination required, but it was fun, comical really, implementing old exercises.
Drizzle
My immediate thought when I read the word was raspberry coulée on cheesecake, but I figured I'd save my waistline! Next I thought of chocolate syrup drizzled on vanilla ice cream, with maybe a sprig of mint. Again, my waistline rebelled. (I watched the Jillian Michael's new show on Sunday night and I'm clearly still traumatized!)
There was no drizzle today even though the forecast called for rain all day. Figures, eh? So with my handy assistant Chloe and a full pitcher of water, we simulated drizzle on the super big black golf umbrella. We tried my leopard print - which is a lovely accessory, but it just wasn't as effective. I'm quite enjoying figuring out props. I've never really done that before.
And you? How is your Creativity Boot Camp coming along? Are you stretching yourself? Having fun?
