The idea of a Glyph came from an article I saw by Jane Dunnewold.

I don’t know if you will be able to see the part of the drawing that contains the response. It definitely is not the focus, which was not my intent. I had a little trouble with scale in the drawing. I am still learning!
See the original prompt for further inspiration!

See the original prompt for further inspiration. All responses in any media are welcome.

I am continuing to obsess about various things. With the creative prompt it is the doodle umbrella.
The original prompt was posted earlier today, in case you didn’t see it.
Have you looked at the Flickr group lately for inspiration?

Sonja, a CQFAer, has reached the epitome of the Creative Prompt Project. In this response to Creative Prompt #76: Night, she got an idea and jotted it down on what she had at hand! I love this! I will strive to achieve this level of creativity.
Thanks for participating, Sonja! Keep up the good work!

Book Review: Journal Bliss
Journal Bliss: Creative Prompts to Unleash Your Inner Eccentric by Violette
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Violette’s book has been in my to read stack for awhile. I was finally able to read this book when I took it with me on a trip. I found that it was a quick read. It might have been a quick read, but it was a powerful read as well. Violette, in this book, is a cheerleader, life coach, therapist and art teacher. She mixes in the right amount of words with pictures, the right amount of encouragement and support.
She dives in with a discussion about the reader’s inner critic. I was a little surprised that she would start out with this, but it was the right way to organize the book and she didn’t go on and on in that chapter.
She clearly describes a lot of techniques and a lot of different ways to do small but effective bits of embellishment. Her writing style makes the reader think that s/he can create borders, backgrounds and any of the techniques described. The one part that really intrigued me was the part about faces. Reading this section and looking at the pictures gave me confidence She makes drawing faces seem simple. I don’t mean simple as in stupid looking, but simple as in with a little practice everyone can do faces as well as she can.
Violette provides lots of examples of her artwork. The book is mostly drawings and examples of her written creativity. The majority of the book is not typeset, but embellished, drawn and colored. This style provides lots of examples of her. She shows it is simple. The drawings are not simple, but if the reader breaks them down and looks carefully at the lines, there is nothing tricky going on and the style is quite do-able.
One great suggestion Violette gives is to do a Gratitude journal page using a list rather than prose. I think that is a great idea for any kind of journal page, not only a gratitude page.
I really liked this book and think that it is one that will be a great reference book. I would like to try the various drawing techniques to spice up my journal pages, especially the border ideas. I also want to try making the faces.

I have been wanting to the create the Library or reading area in my house forever and this prompt was the perfect opportunity. It took me awhile to get the chair the way I, mostly, wanted it. I have a similar chair that I never get to sit in anymore. I may add some color to the books.
Check out the original prompt. Your responses are welcome!
