Prompts 11-20 Garden

Yes...it's true...with all the rain, work, and various other comments. The Garden Art participants (myself included) fell out of the wheelbarrow. One thing I've learned from this first on line class is ....shorter time frame!!! A week or a month is very managable for me...much past that and not only do I fall out of the wheelbarrow but it runs over me. We will definately be doing more classes here at The Magical Creative Spirit but we will keep them a bit shorter in duration!!! In the meantime, perhaps your garden is in full bloom. In the splendor of summer is a great chance to snap some awesome photos...it's not too late.....we can and will finish our lovely art journals!

Prompt 11 Rock Gardens Main Idea: Using Texture For this page in your art journal use some texture...perhaps fabric, or embossing but something to create texture. Nature has so much beauty and so many textures. Rock gardens are wonderful examples. If you have one... feature some photos of your rock garden on this page!

Prompt 12 Garden Furniture: Main Idea: Outdoor Living For this prompt focus on your outdoor living spaces, journal about them and perhaps include a photo....or maybe look through magazines and include a photo of what you would like your outdoor space to be like...

Prompt 13 Flower Language Main Idea: A Picture's Worth a 1000 Words This page...no journaling,.....let your photos of flowers speak for you! Use lots....maybe a collage...or a kalidiscope of color.

Prompt 14- Garden Names Main Idea: Folded Paper This page: Name you garden...what should you call it...Serenity Place? Set with a pad and pencil and brainstorm names for your lovely creation. Then create a page highlighting the name and as an added challenge....use some kind of folded paper in your creation!

Prompt 15 A Rose By Any Other Name: Main Idea: Tearing Paper This page focuses on the royal rose...create roses for your page in whatever and how many colors you'd like...oh one thing though....you have to tear the paper to create your roses...no cutting!!!

Prompt 16 The Morning Garden Main Idea: Using the Day Before Us For this prompt you need to get up EARLY one morning, sit in your garden, be silent, listen and look...absorb the sites and sounds of the garden. Sip coffee or tea...relax....gather energy and peace for the day ahead...Create your page while this experience is still fresh in your mind and heart.

Prompt 17 The Evening Garden: Main Idea: Unwinding/Using Chalk This page is similar to the morning version...but sit quietly in the evening as dusk falls and watch the garden. Notice the sounds and how the coming night brings solitude to the garden. When you create this page...I've added the challenge of using chalk!

Prompt 18 The Garden by Moonlight Main Idea: Embossing For this prompt....you have to take a night walk in the garden. Wander around the yard, Notice the flowers in their beauty at night. Do they shimmer in the moonlight. Maybe you will encounter a small rabbit or other creature visiting along with you! Now use some embossing to create your Moonlite Garden page!!!

Prompt 19: Spring Garden: Main Idea: Use Pastels For this page....think pastels...use photos, lace, or other embellishments to journal about a garden in spring....this might be a good time to write a poem about the beauty of a garden.

Prompt 20: Summer Garden: Main Idea: Use Vibrant Bold Colors Think full bloom....beauty in bold and vibrant colors. Take photos, use fabric, or other materials to highlight bold and beautiful blooms!!! Journal about summer, how you enjoy it, hate it, use it to travel along life's path.
