Creativity Challenge #5, #6, #7 and #8

Creativity Challenge #5

Illustrate an object 4 different ways

This challenge was different for as I really didn't understand what illustrate was.  So of course I had to google it to make sure I understood what it was.

il·lus·trate

ˈiləˌstrāt/

verb

1. provide (a book, newspaper, etc.) with pictures.

   "the guide is illustrated with full-color photographs"

   synonyms:

   decorate, adorn, ornament, accompany, embellish; More

We could create our chosen object out of other materials as well.  It is completely open and up to us on what we do with this assignment.  We could use a computer, use paint, dimensional materials,whatever we want, to illustrate our chosen object.
I will get started on this one soon.

Creativity Challenge #6

Make a drawing using only crayons

Challenge #6 we get to choose the size of our drawing, the colors to use, and the subject matter. The only rule is to use only crayons to make your drawing.

Creativity Challenge #7

Start a junk journal or smash book

This was something I didn't know what it was until I googled it. I mainly check it out on Pinterest. I created a board in my pinterest account you can check it out with this link.

  My Pinterest.- Board for junk-journal-smash-book

 I'll show pictures when I get mine started.

Creativity Challenge #8

Creativity Challenge #1 - Doodle for at least 30 minutes

I am trying something new this year with Prairie Moon Quilts.

Creativity Challenge #1: Doodle for at least 30 minutes

This was relaxing and fun.  I had some books

 on Zentangling that I used for inspiration.

The first one was just doodling with the Name of this challenge. 

There was YouTube video that I took the inspiration from that

 video to create my next one.

Added some color to make it pop.

The next one is from the Zentangling book that I had that I used for inspiration.

Then at work I was doodling while on the phone or when a report was loading.

So yes this challenged me to come up with some ideas the bottom two I didn't have any reference just started to doodle.  This was a great challenge.  I know I am running a few days late for the next challenge, but getting ready to start working on January 14th challenge today. 

  "Make your initial out of something"

So off to the sew/craft room on this snowing Sunday afternoon.

Happy Quilting!!
