#WDYS “Magical Creations”

Posted on 5 Oct 20224 Oct 2022 by Colleen M. Chesebro

I’ve wanted to join in on more challenges and Sadje’s #Whatdoyousee prompt #154 inspired a shadorma from the image above. Thanks for the inspiration, Sadje. 💜

magical—
the tools of her trade
fanciful 
wood creatures
spring forth, soulful creations
touch your heart anew

  Thanks, Liz. I like writing to photo prompts. There’s always something someone sees that another doesn’t.

    You’re welcome, Colleen. I enjoy reading others’ writing from prompts. Lately, I’ve try to read the pieces without checking the prompt to see how well the piece works on its own.

      Yes, I agree. Too often we rely on the photo to carry our message and not our words.

        On the other hand, I do enjoy ekphriastic and photopoety as well.

It is magic, how images emerge from wood or stone. (K)

  Or from paper and paint, Kerfe… or thread… I’ve got to get back to my crocheted doilies. Old fashioned but lovely framed. 💜

      I bet. It’s a good hobby. I’ve been working so hard that sometimes crocheting is what relaxes me.

  Yes! When we work with our hands, we infuse a bit of our magic into the piece of art, whatever it might be. I love it!
