S410 -Day #4

Starter for Ten - April 9th 2023

Visiting the in-laws for Easter and invited my father-in law Richard Reeve to join me for the ten minute creativity challenge. He agreed and challenged me to create in clay.

Sketch: clay
Richard suggested we make a freize with flowers. I started and then halfway through panicked, smushed everything down and decided to do an Easter bunny instead. When I saw how great Richard’s turned out I wished I had continued with my original attempt. It was really fun doing the challenge together and think I will invite some others to join me on future challenges.

Starter for Ten (S410) is a daily creative exercise that I will do for the next 30 days. I set a ten-minute timer and write whatever comes into my head. After that I do the same to create a visual. The idea is to loosen up, create daily and get over the idea that everything I make needs to be perfect or have a purpose.

I will document the process here on this site and on my Instagram stories. Photos will be unedited to keep it real. This challenge both terrifies and excites me, let’s see what happens.
