In some ways this is a homage to Crave Bakery, a San Francisco Bakery that creates gluten free goodies for those who cannot eat wheat and other grains.
It is also an effort to create an old fashioned ice cream counter.
The Creative Prompt Project is spreading slowly to other artists. I am thrilled about this, because part of my goal for this project is to inspire other people to be creative.
My tiny, little sister uses paper and scrapbook pages as her artistic medium. She works in other media as well such as pottery and jewelry. Here is the response that she did for “Remember.” One of the things that excites me about her response is that her piece uses a different media than most of the rest of us use. It shows that you don’t have to draw to respond.
This page is about the Fisher Price barn that sissy had when she was a kidlet. She also had the castle, the house, the village and a number of other pieces of the Fisher Price little people toys. *I* remember how much fun we had creating scenarios with all of those pieces.
Thanks, sis.

It is really sad when I just can’t get inspired to do my own creative prompt. I thought house would be a good one. Quilt Rat certainly came up with a fantastic response! I’ll have to keep this one percolating a little bit and, hopefully, come up with another response down the road. On to the next prompt!
We all know, now, that not all wizards look like the wizard in Fantasia. Wizards look as much like Cornelius Fudge as they do like Harry Potter and Hermione Granger. Witches and wizards look normal. Still this wizards looks like he is spreading the magic up and down the street.
Here is my reponse to look. I am thinking about new glasses about now.
The first thing I thought of with this prompt was an hour glass. It took me a bit of time to think of a way to incorporate it into the series of drawings on which I have been working.
I have been excited about using the different PITT pens that I bought recently. The tips are different widths. So far my favorite is the Fine. I see, as someone mentioned, how the XS can be great for defining things or adding depth. This is wonderful. I didn’t find it to be great for drawing the whole piece.
One thing I need to improve in my drawing is working with perspective. I didn’t add the right side of the hour glass, but may later after I do a bit of research.
Once upon a time.
Time flies.
May you live in interesting times.
Good times.
A stitch in time.
The passage of time.
Dangerous times.
Traveling through space and time.
Having the time of your life.
Times Square.
The time has come.
Time lapse.
Times tables.
Making the big time.
Time capsule.
Frozen in time.
A moment in time.
Tea time. 😉
New York Times.
A stitch in time saves nine.
Time trials.
Time sink.
Lost in time.
Summertime Lime.
The time is now.
Now is the time for all good….
Hang time.

Past time.
It’s just a question of time.
Time after time.
Wasting time.
Time to flee.
Time machine.

My godmother used to make her coffee in a percolator. I used to watch, fascinated, as the liquid bubbled up in the little glass top. Even though I was constantly warned that I would be burned if I touched it, I couldn’t stay away.
Ideas need to percolate.
Quilts, sometimes, need to percolate.

Some ancient historical sites have large stones laid out in a circle.
Rings are circles as is the sun, the moon and other planets.
Marbles, beach balls, bouncy balls and playground balls.

I got a little behind photographing and posting blocks from my Infinity project. (I think last week was just a bad sewing-posting-making week). Anyway, here are some of the newer blocks. I made a few more after I snapped this pic and will post those later.
I was attempting to try out a different layout from the layout in the May 13th post. I like the four white squares together. I am a long way from the end, however, so we will see once I get more blocks.
SIL said she was sending me some blocks via DH-transport, so I expect those on Sunday. As usual, stay tuned!
Yes, this could have been a Moon prompt response as well, but it isn’t. I almost bought one of those round hatbox suitcases once and didn’t. I always wonder if my life would have been different.
Are you on a creative journey or a journey that involves planes and luggage?
What inspires you when you travel?
Here is a lovely poem about a journey which I found at Poem Hunter:
Journey to Be by Mark Slaughter
I think I’ll journey out some day to wondrous lands afar,
Or even chart a journey to a distant blazing star.
But rest assured that where my journey sees to take me to,
Always know that when I go, this journey takes you too.
–
We’ll start our journey out from here by horse and cart of old,
The seaside docks – and journey pauses – where we shall behold
A noble schooner for the journey primed to launch as planned:
To sail with dolphins cross the seas then journey back on land.
–
And so our journey goes by foot to conquer mountains tall:
A chapter hence the journey reached, with scenes that should enthral.
But when we tire, let’s rest our journey, stretched in fields of flowers,
And bathe atop the mountain from the journey – autumn showers!
–
Refreshed our journey takes a turn – we’ll venture back for home,
But first we’ll let the journey take a tangent just to roam.
And in the winding route, this journey’s bound to bide content,
But most of all take heed – let’s make our journey life’s event.
