On Monday, per the game directions, I posted about participating in the One World One Heart blog project. I have never done anything like it and have found it to be interesting. I haven’t had much of a chance to look at the other blogs, sadly, though I have looked at a few.
I am madly approving comments from people that come to visit. Most visitors just leave a quick comment, but the ones who take the time to tell me where they are coming from make it really interesting for me. Visitors have come from such places as:
Shockingly enough, I saw this word in a spam comment and it stuck in my mind. I think there is a lot we can take from it and use to create, right? Pound Sterling
I found a lot of towns and counties which included the name Sterling. I also found tons of companies with Sterling in their name.

I think one of Lisa‘s idea’s with One World One Heart was to show off different artists’ work. It worked for me.
I was checking a comment (some of the comments look just like spam – bleah!) on the OWOH post and was taken to Roc’s blog. As you know, I am a wannabe visual journaler and just haven’t quite gotten there yet. Don’t worry, I am not giving up.
I was thrilled to see Roc’s blog, because her visual journaling work is wonderful. I really like the textures and the different imagery she uses.
I think one of my issues with visual journaling is that it looks messy. I know that the actual process is messy and I am not into messy, especially painting and such. However, the pages look messy. There is a lot of stuff on them. I like that look, but it is also keeping me from trying. That sounds like it makes no sense. I guess I need a therapist to work on that weirdness!
Update: 2/15/2010: The contest is closed! Thanks for reading. Check the 2/16/2010 post for the winner! Thanks for playing and come back and read the blog!
Welcome, new readers and well known readers, to Artquiltmaker.com. We are participating in One World One Heart, a fun way to get to know new blogs and win prizes! Lisa created this event in 2007. “The original idea behind this giveaway event was to bring bloggers together from around the world who may never ordinarily meet. It closes the gap of the blog community and enables us to interact, discover new and wonderful people, and in the process possibly win a prize or many prizes along the way”, as she says on her blog.
Artquiltmaker Blog is a way for me to share what I am working on with other creative people. I like the idea of this blog being a magazine type information source, so I try to vary the content to include commentary on works in progress, book reviews, media reviews (such as podcasts), Quilt World News, etc. Sometimes I venture outside of quiltmaking to appreciate other artists, different crafts and and report on different events and exhibits I attend. Every week, I put up a creative prompt as a way to spark inspiration and creativity in the Artquiltmaker.com community. You can find more information about the creative prompt on the AQ CPP Inspiration page. In the future I would like to include tutorials as well. It is on the list!
At this time there is no money making venture associated with Artquiltmaker. I write in this space because I enjoy writing, love quiltmaking and want to share my creative journey. My hope is that Artquiltmaker.com and Artquiltmaker blog will inspire you to be creative and expand your creative horizons.
As part of the One World One Heart Project, I will be giving away at least one prize.

1/26/2010 Update: ArtQuiltmaker.com Blog is #472 on Lisa’s list! Thanks to Lisa for coordinating this project. Leave her a message saying thanks, if you have a chance.
I really felt a lot of hope for 2010. I can’t say that it has dissipated, but this past week was difficult on a lot of levels, so I don’t feel quite as jubilant as I did as the New Year turned. STILL, I am not going to let one week kick that great, jubilant frame of mind into the garbage.
Fortunately, I couldn’t get away from Opportunity knocks, so here is opportunity knocking!
This isn’t one of my best drawings, but I feel good about having a bit of confidnece to put a figure in. Fortunately cold weather makes a ginormous coat seem somewhat normal.
We are doing something different today for the 50th Creative Prompt.
I was driving down the freeway on Monday and saw some graffiti painted on the freeway wall. I am not getting into a discussion about graffiti. I am sure there are lists for the “is graffiti art?” discussion. They are not here, though you are free to weigh in in the comments if you feel the desire.
Normally, I ignore graffiti, but happened to notice the shape of the bottom of the piece, which I thought was interesting. I am still in a different frame of mind after my talk last week, which made me think of this special Creative Prompt.
I would like you to find something that has inspired you – a magazine ad, a piece of poetry, something you photographed, something you saw on the web, etc. – and create a doodle or piece of art from that inspiration.
For example, if you took a photograph of a tree, you could put a piece of tracing paper over the tree shape and outline it and then create a doodle from that shape. It does not have to be drawn. Your piece can be any kind of art including poetry or painting or short stories or collage or…..
If possible, post your inspiration along with your response. Let me know if you have any questions.
