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

ICAD 2016 Week 4

ICAD #22 Neon sign

ICAD #23 winter

ICAD #24 magenta

ICAD #25 song

ICAD #26 space invaders

ICAD #27 motel
Quite possibly the worst landscape ever done in the history or art. In the world.

ICAD #28 Cats or dogs 

ICAD 2016 Week 2

ICAD #8 Island
Sandpaper island, paint chip card sea and tree. 

ICAD #9 Compass. 

ICAD #10 Cobalt blue
I collated all the cobalt blue materials I had. Paint, fine line sharpie, crayon.
The paint I used was a kids paint from the cheap shop, on the card it dries quite chalky.
I started with the blue flowers and felt it needed something in the background.

ICAD #11 Baseball
I printed out a google map of our local baseball field and stuck it on the card. I drew a baseballer,
tore around it and stuck it on. 

ICAD # 12 TV
Watching too much tv gives you square eyes, right?! Maria learnt the hard way. Probably a Netflix
overdose of Walking Dead or Game of Thrones (eye roll). I've never watched either, so I don't get the hype.
Spanish to english translation: ojos = eyes. Cuadrado = square.

ICAD # 13  playground
This was a quick draw to catch up the day. The card was prepared with the lime green swirls, my favourite colour. The slide looks odd, I know. 

ICAD #14 Venn diagram
I had to google what a venn diagram looked like, coz I had no idea. In hindsight, I should have
made it a colour mixing chart more so than random colours. Oh well. Move on. 

ICAD 2016 Week 1

I am a visual person. I like the visual arts and I like to be creative. 

Last year when Denyse shared her ICAD art, I was inspired. This year I bit the bullet, found some index cards (which was a little harder than I first thought), and got really excited to start.

Every day for the months of June and July, I create something on an index card. So do heaps of other people. I've joined the ICAD facebook group and I get to see everyone's different takes on the prompts or their off-prompt creations.

Here's my first seven days. I am enjoying this challenge and have used the prompts provided so far. I don't have to hurt my brain too hard thinking of something to create.

Everyone else was making a title card for the project, so why not?  :)

ICAD #1 mix tape
water colour, sharpie and biro.

Using this photo for  #fmy52weeksofmemories for last week which was 'name'. I am pretty sure this is
what I probably wrote on my tapes so my siblings didn't get any big ideas. I remember having VHS tapes with the top 40 recorded from RAGE on the ABC. If one of them taped over my music it was the
end of the world! 

ICAD #2 pyramid
Torn printed paper, torn sandpaper, water colour and crayon. I used the smallest pair of scissors I own,
a pair of nail scissors to cut out the camels. They came in handy for something, I don't use them on my nails!

ICAD #3 Snoopy
I drew this in pencil first and then went over it with a fine line felt tip pen.
It took me a few goes to get Woodstock right from the erasing lines that are visible.

ICAD #4 typewriter
Water colour, sharpie border and printed stuff from the net. I printed out the words,
then cut them up and bordered them with a sharpie.

ICAD #5 cloud
Water colour, wool and printed words cut and pasted

ICAD #6 Top ten list
Real red wine stains, coloured sharpies and numbers cut and pasted from the May
issue of Woolworths Fresh magazine. I really did run over the kid next door's bike that day!

ICAD #7 Pinball or bowling
Wood print, pencil drawn ball and pins, black fine line felt pen
