A Daily Snippet⤴

from

Overheard on the radio this morning: “What’s the secret of feeling young?”. Here’s my response for TDC4148

What’s the secret of feeling young?

Playing chase with Cagney the cat –
running round and round the room
Standing bare headed in the rain –
catching rain drops with my tongue

Buying boxes of pretty crayons –
and doodling throughout boring meetings
Putting on my welly boots –
and kicking through drifts of Autumn leaves

Turning up the radio to full blast –
and pogoing in my seat to my favourite tunes
And never, ever looking in a mirror –
or at my own image in online meetings.

Alice in LaceyLand⤴

Today’s TDC asks us to:

You and your favorite book. Combine that pair into art. We want to know the title of the book.

Use text and images; parts of the story; your emotions and drive to read that one.

I chose Alice in Wonderland – one of my many favourite books. I searched for Tenniel’s illustration and photoedited Lacey cat’s head onto the cat. Quick and dirty.

Today’s TDC asks us to find the least popular challenge and respond to it. I chose this one:

Some of Salvador Dali’s surrealist paintings combined two or more kinds of animals. In the example The Temptation of St. Anthony, we see horses and elephants sporting some gangly insect legs. Tap into your inner-surrealist today and create a critter mash-up with two or more different creature parts. TDC2655

Literal Descriptions⤴

from

Look around you and create a picture of what you see in words (or use the image below if you like). Describe it to us without using any metaphors or showing the photo.

What do you really see?

This might be considered a practice in writing alternative descriptions for images- what can be a valid substitute for the visual representation,

Describe the essential elements of a scene in words, e.g.

A silver vat of vivid red cherries calls to be eaten and stands out in contrast of a lush background of green ground cover and purple wildflowers.

Cat in a box
A small brown box, resting in the corner of a sofa with a striped pink and purple velvet cover. A black cat curled up in the box, looking up at the camera with her bright yellow eyes which ask: ‘how dare you disturb my sleep for your silly game?’
