ICAD 2019 - Week 8 & 9

 

ICAD 2019 - Week 7

It's been two weeks since the Index Card a Day challenge has finished. I enjoyed getting my head around the prompts, to be creative everyday in June and July.

Here is Week 7 (I am so behind in sharing). There is two more weeks, 8 & 9, which I will share on Monday.

I you can't wait until then you can see them all on my Instagram feed.

Index card a day - Week 6

36. Thesaurus

37. Botanical 

Inspired by the crabapple tree near my front door, it is all but bare now in it's winter sleep

38. Clue

Professor Plum, in the library with a dagger? A quick pencil drawing saves the day again.

39. Color chart. 

Water colour and sharpie

40. Blueprint

Blueprint is basically a blue background with white diagram. Plenty of blue from paint, paint chips, fabric and a dodgy, sewn white cotton house block plan.

41. Card catalog

A creative take on a library catalogue card. I was reading this novel at the time.

42. Keychain or charm

Pencil and paint chip

Index card a day - Week 5

29. Terra cotta

Terracotta warrior just rolls off the tongue and was one of things that came to mind for this prompt. Again, good old pencil drawing has given me a quick finish for a card.

30. Lemon or Lemonade

Water colour, texta and sharpie

31. Mismatched

Blue and green should never be seen unless there's something in between. I remember hearing this saying passed around at high school. Does it really break any fashion rules though?

 32. Caramel

I used a small glass tile I found in the bottom of my wardrobe of all places, when I was getting out the sewing machine(which lives at the bottom). I used it for a stamper with watercolour to create these square caramels.

33. Ogee

This prompt had me googling for answers. Ogee is an S shaped line or moulding, usually in architecture. Most images showed an archway, where the top and bottom lines of the arch end up parallel.

34. Constellation

Inspired by The Bachelor promo, "Okaaay...I'm a Gemini".

35. Pine tree

Pine plantations are plentiful in our part of the world. Every now and then we go out and collect pine cones for our wood fire. This is one of those cones.

ICAD 2019 - Week 4

22. bicycle

I actually painted Summers bike tyre with some watercolour and ran over the card several times!

23. Poem

I am currently doing a Cognitive Behaviour Therapy course, because life is about learning. It is really helping me be more mindful of my thoughts, better ways of coping with my overactive negative mind (I really am a positive person!), and maybe I may help someone else one day. That's where the poem comes from.

24. Music Box

Pencil drawing is, I am finding, my quick go to when I don't know what else to do. I really enjoy it. My daughter Isabel is discovering a love for it too. 

25. rose

This was a mix of a couple of different ideas. I had a photo of the Just Joey rose on my necklace and earring corkboard. I dissected it for this creation.

26. Tinker toys

I did need to google this prompt. "What the hell are tinker toys?".

27. Corduroy

I found some corduroy fabric in the stash to make this card a corduroy garden.

28. Architecture
