I have decided that I will use the 52 art prompts from Cloth paper Scissors. They have all been cut up and folded and placed in a container. I tried not to look at them, not easy. The first out was "sew strips of fabric and/or paper together and cut them into more strips that can be glued into a collage". The first batch were a bit too ordinary for me so I had another go which I feel happier with.
The orange paper came from Ethical Superstore. My sister in law spotted it and thought I would like it. It is great, not too thick and easy to stitch.
Week two required me to "draw and paint small images that can be cut and stored for later use in larger works."
I am enjoying the element of surprise and have started work on next weeks already. Not sure how long this will last. The next module of my course starts in two weeks time. I have been using my machine to make designs. using black thread on white paper I just drew with my needle. One sample, which I am using for several designs.
This is just one example.
Wishing you all a peaceful week.

Sounds like a fun way to get those inspiration juices flowing!
I like how you are moving through the 52 projects. The painted pieces remind me of Chagall and your stitched flours are quite lovely. xox Corrine
This looks great, might take the stress out of those first few thoughts. I can see a combination of the first lot of strips with the second lot...
Will you put the prompt results in one of your lovley notebooks from last year? I need to make mine.
what a great idea .. good way to inspire creativity ...maybe i'll give it a try .....xx
Sorry, I almost missed this post. Your new venture sounds really interesting - I love the stitched strips (esp the purple/orange combo) and the lime/turquoise flower design is fab!
