Hi Everyone...I have found some wonderful friends on-line and am taking part in a "21 Day Creative Exercise"... The whole premise is take 15 minutes out of your day to challenge yourself to be creative, think outside the box. To experiment with new things, subjects, materials. I think it is the greatest idea ever...to read more about it head over to Alicia's post.
Today is day one and I started with my first 15 minutes doing a sketch of my orchid...them some watercolour...but man oh man ...it is hard to get things done in only 15 minutes...so I have two 15 minute projects here today...
The second is based on Mixed Media Monday's theme this week...."Playing Cards" I created a 15 minute mixed media King of Cupcakes card...lol...Have a wonderful day and take the time to do something fun!
Cheers,
Diana
that 21 days exercise is really cool. Day one looks prosperous!
ReplyDeletethanks Candace...you should join in!
ReplyDeleteHey love both of them. I was have been thinking of what to do for the Mixed Media Monday as well. Yours is great, so is your 15 minutes project.

ReplyDeleteIt would help if it would stop raining so I can test the free mower I've been fixing. Those things are fun for me and how I'm creative.
impressive diana!
ReplyDeleteThese are great Diana! I really love the cupcake king! He, he.. very cute!
ReplyDeleteYou know it doesn't have to be 15 minutes exactly, it is at least 15 minutes. If you have the time go for it :o)
Cute!

ReplyDeleteVery nice, Diana, from sketch and color in 30 minutes sure quick for me..
Of course the King had to have his cupcakes. I think of cupcakes in new ways thanks to you! I love your creative challenge. It IS such a gift, isn't it?!
ReplyDeleteLovely, Diana-- both the watercolor orchid and the mixed media king of cup cakes (what a fun idea!) Quite amazing for 15 minutes, you've captured both really nicely!
ReplyDeleteHi, Diana! Wonderful exercise. I've often thought of doing something like that. You've inspired me.
ReplyDeleteFifteen minutes--now, that would be a challenge. And you did two! Bravo!
Wow they are wonderful creations. The playing card is stunning. Love it.

Now that sounds like a challenge I can handle! The only thing is creating something in 15 minutes for me may not be worthy of posting for all to see on the internet. Although, I think I might be up for it!
ReplyDeleteKing of Cupcakes is so clever! However, I think the King needs a Queen my dear!
Beautiful inspirational work as always.
oooh diana, I think you need to do a whole deck of cupcake playing cards!!!
ReplyDeleteHi Diana, Just love this one and your other 21 day works. You have been sure busy! Just how do you do it all. Always a pleasure to stop by your beautiful blog and ready your cheery, happy posts and see your beautiful work! Take care, hugs Lisa
ReplyDeleteAmazing--only 15 minutes? Lovely orchid. The cupcake king is great fun!!
