Evening doodle.

Day 8 of the #creativesandboxchallenge : kite. Think you can’t draw? Stick figures get the point across! Stick figures ROCK! Drawing as communication, rather than as “Art,” is POWERFUL! And anyone can do it!
🖍
Inside the #creativesandboxcommunity, some people use the daily prompts of our monthly challenges to practice learning a new skill. Some people write, do poetry, practice illustration, paint, make music. I use the prompts to@build my visual vocabulary. There is no wrong way to use the prompts! Just as there is no wrong in the Creative Sandbox! (That’s Guidepost #1. 😊)

Practicing #bikablo figures at today’s #creativesandboxplayday. See more in my IG Story.
🖍
Creative Sandbox Playday is a half-day co-working retreat to work (or play!) on whatever creative project(s) you want, in the company of others doing the same. Today was the FIRST ONE! And it was AMAZING! I’m exhausted and happy; fulfilled, inspired, glowing, and excited for the next one, tentatively slated for October 14.
🖍
Together we overcome the gremlin chatter and perfectionism. Together we are capable of amazingness! 🖍
It’s been a good day. 😊
What have you been up to today?

August #creativesandboxchallenge day 4: crayon.
🖍
A teeny-tiny crayon drawn with pens! Which look ginormous next to it. I don’t know why, but this just cracks me up. 😅
🖍
I love how these daily prompts in the #creativesandboxcommunity nudge me to try things I wouldn’t necessarily otherwise try. And I love how we work together in the community to create things. Many minds bouncing ideas off each other inevitably lead to more exciting ideas together. 🖍
We produced an adult coloring book together. We make monthly creative challenges. We come up with all kinds of ideas that we DO together. I love that about the Creative Sandbox Community. 😊

August #creativesandboxchallenge day 3: beanstalk. Inside the #creativesandboxcommunity we are doing Creative Sandbox 101 this week — the eCourse that was the precursor to my book, The Creative Sandbox Way™. Today is all about Guidepost #6: Ask, “What if…?”, so today’s prompt, with its connotations of fairytales, is so appropriate! 🖍
Member @carla.la.la.olson designed this month’s challenge, so thoughtfully and beautifully. And yesterday on our first Rally Call of the month, another member who designs and hosts a lot of the monthly challenges, @doc_angi, and I were brainstorming ideas for the September challenge. 🖍
Members take the initiative inside the Creative Sandbox Community. If they have an idea, they get to run with it, because it is everyone’s community! 😊 I love the spirit of collaboration inside the Sandbox, and I’m always so excited to see what we’ll create next!
