Commentary about works in progress, design & creativity
I had this in my mind for awhile and started it once then threw that one out, because I had to go and look at feathers. I was reminded to get back to sketching before I do the final. I gave you a little peek at the top of the building.

We did a bunch of things at the CQFA meeting and one that I haven’t yet written about was the design exercises. We continued our design and creativity series (not sure if that is the name, but I had to make up something!). This time Friend Julie was the teacher. She used Color and Composition for the Creative Quilter: Improve Any Quilt with Easy-to-Follow Lessons by Katie Pasquini Masopust. I thought she was using the other book, so I told everyone the wrong thing, but no harm done in the end.
Julie decided to have us use paper instead of fabric and I think that got us to be a little freer. Julie was a great teacher! She gave clear directions, kept us on track and guided us skillfully.
The first exercise (upper left) was composing with line (pg.26 in Ms. Masopust’s book). Julie had us cut lines and choose a design from the “Nine Patch of Compositions.”
The second exercise was to break up the negative space with diagonal lines (upper right).
The next exercise allowed us to use curves (lower left). This is a design that reminds me of a quilt I have had on my inspiration board that is made of large feathers. I’ll make it someday.
Finally, we were allowed to use any of our scraps to create a final composition (lower right). The great part of this workshop was to work with others people and to see what they were making. It is fine line between seeing what people are doing and being influenced by what they are doing. I don’t think I was and I really enjoyed working with everyone.
Great job, Julie!

speed skating oval
Oval: An oval is a curve resembling a squashed circle but, unlike the ellipse, without a precise mathematical definition. The word oval derived from the Latin word “ovus” for egg. Unlike ellipses, ovals sometimes have only a single axis of reflection symmetry (instead of two). Wolfram

We are back to the dining room in this response. After seeing Diane’s ATC, I got inspired to do the pears. I may still give them a little color.

Ice skates immediately came to mind when I posted this prompt. It took me a long time to finally get them to sort of look like skates.
I like SherriD’s response much better than mine, but I was on a roll, so here it is. Part of my unhappiness has to do with the size of the paper and the consistency I want to keep in the drawings. I may do another response to this prompt. We will see. Enjoy!
That umbrella keeps appearing. I really like the idea of sitting under an umbrella on the sidewalk, in a cafe’. I never have found the reality to be quite as wonderful as the idea, though.
This drawing is in response to the Coffee Creative Prompt.
Last week Jill mentioned the crack in one of her comments. That comment brought this response to life. I think I could have made the stem a bit taller. I may draw it again with a taller stem, but we will see.
This is in response to the Flower Creative Prompt.
