I gave myself permission to just draw a starfish. I gave myself permission not to put it into my little city vignettes. I looked on the web for inspiration and was inspired by this picture of a starfish.

You will notice that my rendition is very different from the picture. I had trouble with the symmetry and, as usual, would like to work it over again.

Susan wrote after I posted this on Twitter “Looks like a happy starfish with a red bathing suit ready for some sun or perhaps the moon?” which makes me smile.

I have a friend who is interested in working with map imagery in her quilts. This week we were talking about a UK quilt artist who creates map imagery in her quilts as well. There is a book Maureen inspired me to buy called Personal Geographies by Jill K Berry. I guess I have maps on the mind.

I really had fun working on this image. I am not sure why I liked it so much, but I did.

This drawing is an obvious response, but I really did not want to try and respond with an oil spill. It does look a little weird to me, too. There is something about being able to see the table through the glass that my mind cannot compute, though logically, that is the way it should be.

This was actually a surprisingly hard image to draw. I am not sure why, but getting the spill to look like it was coming out of the glass and, of course, the table behind the glass were challenges. Who doesn’t need a good challenge every week?

I am kind of fond of this response.There are several things I like about it, most of which, I realized, have to do with continuity. There are a number of elements that you will recognize from other responses.

I am also interested in the tree I was going for spring. I used my new-ish pens and I am pleased.

The bubble dress on the little girl on the left is a little out of control. I wasn’t going for realism, though, so it is ok. Also, I have known a few little girls to dress in an over the top manner on occasion.

I am still behind, but not as behind as this photo appears to indicate. I have a backlog of CPP responses to post, though I have been slowly responding. My problem is that I would rather respond and post them in order, but I get stuck on one and then don’t want to move on to the next until I have finished the problem prompt. I really need to try and get over that.

This response brings up a lot of questions for me, not the least of which is what is a guy with a cape and a feathered hat doing in a modern city? Is it a modern city?

Again, I am not sure I succeeded in this response, but I do feel like I am stretching myself, which is a good thing.

Have you seen the original prompt? I have been responding to the prompts, but not posting them. Since I have not been sewing much, I have been scraping the bottom of the barrel for posts and voila! You get a prompt response.

I made a mistake on this one overlapping some of the background with the foreground, so the flashing light is not highlighted.

Live and learn.

Enjoy the process.

I am trying to make those my mantras.

I stopped to visit my aunt for a flying visit last Friday. She has always been a wonderful gardener. I think she loves gardening as much as I adore quiltmaking. Irises are her favorite and I was thinking about her when I thought up this prompt. This is one of the bearded irises in her garden. I really like the red violet on the lower beards.

Have you seen the original prompt?

I didn’t know what to draw for this prompt word. I looked through my previous drawings and saw one of the vacation series and tried to draw wet sand. I don’t think I quite got it, but I think it gives the impression of sand being different.

Try it yourself.

Again I was making myself crazy wondering what I would do with this prompt. Old? Really?

It is a good thing when you start thinking about alternative words. I am pretty pleased with the result.

Have you seen the original prompt?

Aid?

Really?

What kind of prompt is that?

Who thought of THAT word?

Yeah, I thought all of that, but then part of the street scene that I sometimes draw came to me. You never know where inspiration will strike.

Take a look at the original prompt.

Have you tried the Creative Prompt? I am continuing to work on my responses, though I haven’t posted many here lately. time, as usual, is my enemy and I have been spending tons of time on my Star sampler. I have a few responses to post, though and will do that over the next few days.

Check out the original prompt for Princess. Oh my goodness! I didn’t think I was ever going to think of a response, then I resorted to my window shopping theme. A princess shopping at Artquiltmaker.com? Why not?

5 minutes. Try out a response of your own. Have a great day

I don’t always have an idea of what I am going to draw when I think of a word. I wasn’t sure what I would create with this one.

Fortunately, I think this response came out pretty well, I think. I like the way the unfrosted portion of the cake came out.

Autumn is long gone at this time, but I am still about 15 responses behind. This response was easy to do. I don’t know why, but it just flowed out of my pen.
