I shared 2 of the creative challenges from @64millionartists' January Challenge. The aim of these challenges is to promote/provoke creativity. I think this is a great thing for January.
The challenge for Day 25, as you can see above, was to try to create a picture out of the contents of your drawers. This really reminded me of a programme called Art Attack from when I was a child/teen, where the host, Neil Buchanan would create some massive collage out of collecting objects. Viewed from above, it would become a picture. See the video below to understand what I mean.
I didn't have very long but I'd recently offered a very colourful-dressed friend on Instagram (it's lovely to have got in touch with her as we met studying music briefly, although didn't know each other really- I remembered her!) some of my tights collection. She loves colourful tights and I have a whole bag of them, barely worn, that I don't wear anymore (I've gone off tights a lot) and they're not exactly something you can give to a charity shop. I got a whole rainbow of tights out to offer her and they were sitting in a clear bag in the bedroom, awaiting posting.
I decided to incorporate some of the rainbow. Believe it or not, though it is hard to see, I did actually include all of the true colours in the Richard of York Gave Battle In Vain rainbow but they are hard to see!
To make the clouds, I used a white lacy cardigan and shirt. The sun is a pair of mustard tights. The rain-drops are formed of 3 of the stripy socks that CBC wore for the Olympics Closing Ceremony which I swiped from him (I wear them for my 13th Doctor outfit).
It would have been nicer to do something a bit more detailed but time was limited and I quite liked it.
I left it out on the bedroom floor for CBC to see unexpectedly, next time he came in!
What do you think?
What would you have made?

I was amused by the tiger in a cage and the protective visitors to the zoo. It was very creatively done ...
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure that I want to take out the contents of my drawers and put them on the floor to create art. However you did great with the content of unwanted tights. Well done Kezzie. You have some creative juices in you, I can tell. I'd rather play with my food though. lol
Hugs, Julia
