30 Day Creativity Challenge – Day 6

…thanks to Rainee for hosting the 30 Day Creativity Challenge

Today I finished my scarf. I was hoping to have enough yarn left over to add a bit of fringe. It was not in the pattern.

I’ve just finished adding the fringe. There was just enough left to make two large tassels. 3228C05B-7945-43D4-9DA1-73310C374E84F81A3CB8-DED7-48C9-8489-C709992CCA02

Day 5 of the Creativity Challenge

….I picked up my inks and pens for this one

On Creative Bug there are numerous daily creative challenges for all kinds of art and craft projects. I usually go to the drawing and painting  section but I have used some of their knitting patterns and DIY projects. I went back to one of my favourite artists on Creative Bug, Lisa Congdon for her 31 Days of Drawing  and Painting with Ink Challenge.

For today’s creative project I chose to paint Barnacles. You start with a light layer of ink and then add lines in a pattern that resembles a barnacle. It is very meditative.AD747B4F-E142-4138-8D53-98AEED876FE7

30 Day Creativity Challenge – Day 4

…..my attempt at free form poetry

Sisters and Cousins

Sisters

sibling rivalry

shared memories

some bad but mostly good

some forgotten

others not

separated by marriage and distance

reunited by an aging parent

and children

Cousins

offspring of the sisters

separate lives

because of distance,

circumstance and work

a longing for family connection

reunited because of their children

an unbreakable bond of love

Four generations; Dad, my sister and I, my youngest daughter and her daughter and my sister’s son and daughter and her daughter’s son.
