prompt#5 {simplicity}

creative prompt {week 5}

hope your thanksgiving holiday was a good one.  last week, we were showing gratitude.  i thought this week, we’d  show our simplicity.  like this handmade kitty that a pediatric patient had made for me a few years ago.  she was 9 at the time.  i was deeply touched by her sweet handiwork…the sheer simplicity of it all. 

so using any MEDIUM, please show us your simplicity creation.  i look forward to what you come up with!

prompt # 4 {gratitude}

creative prompt {week 4}

in honor of thanksgiving, i thought gratitude would be a fitting prompt for week 4.  the above is a 4×4 collage on painted cardboard which i made for a blog pal, thanking her for hosting this swap i was  fortunate enough  to participate in.  so your task this week is to create something, whatever medium, that holds some meaning of gratitude.  it could be a handmade gift to express thanks,  a piece that connotes “gratitude” on some level, or something you’ve made dedicated to someone/something beloved.  use your imagination…anything is possible & acceptable!

 have fun with this & happy thanksgiving to you and yours!!

prompt # 3 {easy peasey}

creative prompt {week 3}: easy peasy

 hi all!  thanks to everyone who has participated in the last couple of weeks!  it is wicked awesome that you want to join me in the handmade revolution!

for our 3rd week,

the prompt is EASY PEASEY…what do i mean by this you may ask?  well it could mean one of 3 things:

a) your handmade project is so wicked simple to make that you could make it in your sleep!

b) it takes very little time to make your handmade project (under an hour or less)…

and/or

c) you use  a few simple materials to create your handmade item.

 TAKE YOUR PICK(s)…

i made the above faux cookies using a very easy peasey crochet pattern.  one cookie took me less than a half an hour to make.  how wicked cool is that? 

as always, your submission can be of ANY medium so long as it is handmade by you

happy crafting!  celebrate & inspire!

xoxo, mary ann
