There’s a new blog in town. It’s called Creating Something Every Day and has been created by Myfanwy, who some of you may know as Chittle Chattle. For a weekend of fun and creativity Myfanwy posted 33 prompts with the idea of getting as many people as possible to spend 15 minutes , or more of course, seeing what they could produce. There is a Facebook group as well as her blog and for several days people around the world have been posting photos and sharing their makes. And what makes! the work has been both beautiful and inspiring, using a multitude of media, lots of which I’d never heard of.
I just posted once, to the Facebook group, three potential journal covers that I designed especially for the challenge.
These are all created from my photos, the central circles are from the chocolates I posted here . https://lucidgypsy.wordpress.com/2014/01/01/weekly-photo-challenge-joy/ with some editing in Pixlr and Photoshop. The background type print is a photo that I took of my own short story.
I’m a dabbler and I quite like the results but if you go and peep at the Facebook page, the work there is wonderful. I think Myfanwy is repeating the challenge weekend once a month but you can also ask to join the group and share something you make at any time.
This will explain all!http://createaday2014.wordpress.com/2014/01/23/

Gorgeous covers, Gilly. What a great idea to get people busy and creative. 🙂

Thanks for the promo, Gilly, yes it was a fun weekend, next one is the last weekend in Feb. Thanks so much for joining in.
I’ll do my best to be there!
yes they are brilliant … so soft and intriguing, perfect for journal covers …. thanks for sharing this new idea for creativity! We were off the air most of the weekend, I think the local telecom system was overloaded by visitors and could not cope … all better last night when the masses went home.
Thanks Christine, I’ve printed one tonight, hopefully the end result will be okay.
Myfanwy is so creative and talented, full of ideas that I’d like to try if only there were more hours in a day!
Glad you ‘re back on line, I’ve had a frustrating time with computers recently too 🙂
Apparently someone dug through an optic fibre cable near Moruya … a temporary fix has got us back on line 🙂
Very creative, Gilly.
Incidentally … I like your new theme. It is quite nice. xo

You really have some great affection to the looks of those chocolate oackaging, eh? Awesome, awesome covers! You are quite an artist! This must have made you feel young. 😀 The covers are jaunty and youthful. 😉
