The Ferry response didn’t come out quite as expected. I hope you can tell what it is. I should have gone out behind my building and looked at what those ferries look like. Oh well, in the world I am crearing they are a bit clunky and old fashioned.

Yellow Donation Top
What do you think?
The photo looks a little golder than it is. While there is a bit of gold in this top, the border fabric is definitely a bright yellow.
Many of these fabrics are from the Pat Bravo/Art Gallery Fabric scrap bag that I received. You can’t really see much of those fabrics, because of the problem I had with the sashing.
I took the opportunity to use several of my golds for the back. I didn’t think I would use them for anything in the near future. I chose them in the hope that some small sick child will find comfort in those fabrics.
Creative Prompt #168: Imagine
BBC One: Imagine: The arts series edited and presented by Alan Yentob.
Imagine
Imagine a place
Where everything is calm and clear
Decisions between wrong and right are simple
And you`d never have a second thought
Imagine a place
Where everyone belongs with someone
A soul mate for a soul mate
Everyone is happy
Forget the heartache
Forget the pain
Breathe deeply in love
And never exhale
There would never be a moment of doubt
But this isn`t a fairy tale
This is real life
There is heartache and pain
And not everything is clear
People make mistakes
People make good choices
But in the end
There will always be something wrong
And maybe you`ll forget it
Maybe you won`t
There`s not always a soul mate
Not always someone to love
But it`s always nice
To imagine
Because you`re never too old
To create a block in your mind
And shut out reality
So, take a deep breath
And close your eyes
Imagine a place
Where their are happily ever afters
And dreams that can come true

Creative Prompt #167: Solitaire
card game
Desert Solitaire by Edward Abbey
Solitaire is a Big Finish Productions audiobook based on the long-running British science fiction television series Doctor Who.
Solitaire is an album by American pop singer Andy Williams that was released in the fall of 1973 by Columbia Records.
Solitaire, A Rose
The morning rose you touched still stands.
And see how sweet, how sweet this one,
this single one it smells when in the sun?
And each petal falls,
once full when open is now gone.
Each single one by they are young,
like all the rest now gone.
Rare such flowers once were loved,
when blind are cast aside.
To see each loved each every one.
But one not loved by any one.
And loved is this a single one.
Solitaire,
is played by hand then picked,
by wind and gone.
Jane Seymour played Solitaire in Live and Let Die
Definition: Solitaire is any tabletop game which one can play by oneself or with other people. In the USA, it may refer to any card game played by oneself; the British use the term Patience to refer to solitaire with cards. The term “solitaire” is also used for single-player games of concentration and skill using a set layout of tiles, pegs or stones rather than cards. These games include Peg solitaire and Mahjong solitaire. Most solitaire games function as a puzzle which, due to a different starting position, may (or may not) be solved in a different fashion each time.

Solitaire
Silently I stepped around
not to disturb anyone with a sound.
Just to enjoy the morning silence
where my mind could wander around.
Enjoy the peace in the air
without intruding voices everywhere
and enjoy the solitaire
that the morning held there.

Yes, this is the second in the series of “the girl that carried shapes.” This response is related to the Parallelogram response. I am not sure why I think this is a good idea, but I do feel quite proud of the swing of her hair.

I think there will be some more wings in the future of these responses because I need more practice with wings. I do find that looking at the thing helps. Unfortunately, I do not have the opportunity to look at wings very often.

Creative Prompt #165: Ferry
Golden Gate Ferry
Ferry Island, in British Columbia
ferry children
Definition: A ferry (or ferryboat) is a boat or ship (a merchant ship) used to carry (or ferry) primarily passengers, and sometimes vehicles and cargo as well, across a body of water. Most ferries operate on regular, frequent, return services. A passenger ferry with many stops, such as in Venice, is sometimes called a water bus or water taxi.
Ferries form a part of the public transport systems of many waterside cities and islands, allowing direct transit between points at a capital cost much lower than bridges or tunnels. However, ship connections of much larger distances (such as over long distances in water bodies like the Mediterranean Sea) may also be called ferry services, especially if they carry vehicles.

On A Ferry Boat
THE RIVER widens to a pathless sea
Beneath the rain and mist and sullen skies.
Look out the window; ’t is a gray emprise,
This piloting of massed humanity
On such a day, from shore to busy shore,
And breeds the thought that beauty is no more.
But see yon woman in the cabin seat,
The Southland in her face and foreign dress;
She bends above a babe, with tenderness
That mothers use; her mouth grows soft and sweet.
Then, lifting eyes, ye saints in heaven, what pain
In that strange look of hers into the rain!
There lies a vivid band of scarlet red
With careless grace across her raven hair;
Her cheek burns brown; and ’t is her way to wear
A gown where colors stand in satin’s stead.
Her eye gleams dark as any you may see
Along the winding roads of Italy.
What dreamings must be hers of sunny climes,
This beggar woman midst the draggled throng!
How must she pine for solaces of song,
For warmth and love to furnish laughing-times!
Her every glance upon the waters gray
Is piteous with some lost yesterday.
I’ve seen a dove, storm-beaten, far at sea;
And once a flower growing stark alone
From out a rock; I’ve heard a hound make moan,
Left masterless: but never came to me
Ere this such sense of creatures torn apart
From all that fondles life and feeds the heart.

Sometimes, I know a part of what I want to draw in my response, but can’t quite figure out how to fit it into a cohesive whole. Helping some visitors review maps and plan a trip gave me the answer I needed for this prompt.
I have always liked compasses (compaii??) and am particularly fond of Mariner’s Compasses in quiltmaking. I have made one or two in my quilting career and have plans for more.
I also like this drawing because it reflects back on some previous drawings.

This is also a redo, if an inadvertent one. I really like the photo I took for the first response, but it didn’t come out very well and it is always embarrassing to post a less than stellar photo.
Frankly, I had forgotten that I had responded (another good reason to keep up!) and hadn’t crossed that one off my list. It is always good to draw, so we’ll go with that.

I saw a bridge like this loom up in front of the rental car I was driving. It was in Massachusetts and a friend and I were leaving Boston to attend a meeting.
In my drawing the supports of the bridge are foreshortened a bit more than the real things, but, hopefully, you have seen a bridge like this and know what I am getting at.

Sparkles From The Wheel
WHERE the city’s ceaseless crowd moves on, the live-long day,
Withdrawn, I join a group of children watching–I pause aside with
them.By the curb, toward the edge of the flagging,
A knife-grinder works at his wheel, sharpening a great knife;
Bending over, he carefully holds it to the stone–by foot and knee,
With measur’d tread, he turns rapidly–As he presses with light but
firm hand,
Forth issue, then, in copious golden jets,
Sparkles from the wheel.The scene, and all its belongings–how they seize and affect me!
The sad, sharp-chinn’d old man, with worn clothes, and broad
shoulder-band of leather; 10
Myself, effusing and fluid–a phantom curiously floating–now here
absorb’d and arrested;The group, (an unminded point, set in a vast surrounding;)
The attentive, quiet children–the loud, proud, restive base of the
streets;
The low, hoarse purr of the whirling stone–the light-press’d blade,
Diffusing, dropping, sideways-darting, in tiny showers of gold,
Sparkles from the wheel.

I worked really hard on this to get it to look like there was perspective. I am pretty pleased with the job I did even though I think the building on the left would fall down in real life. It did not come out as expected, but doesn’t look like a mistake either.
I was surprised to find that I drew it from a bird’s eye view rather than a street view as intended. That is ok. I can work on that in another drawing if I decide to use this location again.

Will I subject you to multitudes of Creative Prompt Responses this week? I believe so. I am not in a good space for sewing this week. The Corner Store (and some family events) has knocked me off my game.
I wanted to do a woman with butterfly wings similar to some others I have done. I really had trouble with the symmetry of the wings. Finally, my mom, my sometimes drawing teacher when I will let her, suggested that I trace a butterfly. I thought that was cheating, but did it anyway and am fairly pleased with the way it came out. Of course, it is quite giant and I think the creature would create real alarm if seen in real life. Good thing my drawings are not real life. That I know of. 😉
