I am doing Meredith Lewis (@dangerousmere) and thinking I may have missed a day somewhere. No matter. Today she asks us: During this busy time of year, did you have time to respond to all of them and make stuff, or were some or all of them treated as thought-exercises that could only be responded […]
Creative Challenge – Day 22
I am doing Meredith Lewis Creative Challenge – an advent calendar of daily creative prompts and today it’s to recreate an artwork using materials around you. I’m a great fan of Vermeer.

Creative Challenge – Day 20
I’m doing Meredith Lewis daily creative prompt challenge. Today, she’s asked us to imagine what the colour of lilac would taste, feel, sound like – to pretend we are a synesthete.

Creative Challenge – Day 14
I am doing Meredith Lewis (@dangerousmere) daily creative prompt challenge and today it’s to make up a story or scenario using the following painting by Berthold Woltze called The Irritating Gentleman.

Creative Challenge – Day 13
I am doing Meredith Lewis (@dangerousmere) creative prompt challenge every day in December.

I am doing Meredith Lewis (@dangerousmere) daily creative prompts for the month of December and for Sunday, it was to create my own spell that reclaims my creative identity.
