Daily Paper Prompt #2: Windows

“Nourish your eye and spirit with inspiring things.
They will bloom with your tending.”
SARK

Using an x-acto knife against a fabric cutting board, I cut several windows without any lines or measurement. The dots are finger painted with fluid acrylics. I put the window in front of various backgrounds so that you could see that there are lots of things you can do with windows.

Use a window on your page. You can sketch an outline of your window first, if you want, so that it goes in the right spot to highlight something behind it. Or just cut a random window and glue something behind it. On the page with the window, you could write about windows - what you see out a particular window, or maybe your window in your room when you were a child. You could cut out a picture of a window from any furniture catalog, glue it to your page and paint or doodle around it. Talk about why you are intrigued by windows. Another option is to cut the window first, and then put the stuff on the next page in the right spot!

Still working in index cards at the moment, because they are such a great little "canvas"!

I really enjoyed this one.....did not especially like cutting out the panes though. The window
reminded me of the song that starts out "Looking out of the window....", Brave New Hope by Basia. thanks for making this a fun summer of creativity.

This was such fun BEcause I have so many "windows" from cutting out squares and circles for teaching and for a painting I did a few weeks back. It was fun in the after phase to fiddle with them and make windows and rainbows together!!
