    Morning Creative Bent

    by
    Just some sharing from the morning. Above is haiku with the one-word prompt of “frost” via Mastodon and below is an illustration from the morning prompt at DS106 Daily Create to use the last name of someone famous, connected to a common ob...

    Making Art From The Public Domain

    by
    I submitted the prompt for this morning’s DS106 Daily Create, about exploring a visual search engine of Public Domain artwork. I created the art image above, which I like for its textural oddness, by first searching for “trombone” (believe it or not) in the search site (called Public Domain), and discovering a strange image of […]

    Music Themes In Morning

    by
    It’s not unusual for me to use music as my theme for some morning creativity — either making it or using music to inspire writing or art. This morning was no different, with my morning poem (with prompt of “sunshine” off Mastodon) leading to a guitar haiku poem and the DS106 Daily Create (“complete this […]

    A Room Becomes A Turntable

    by
    For today’s Daily Create, the prompt was to “remix your world” using an image. I had a photo of an empty basement, where my band used to practice, and when I did a little tinkering in LunaPic, the room became a turntable (by accident). And of course, a turntable requires some scratching. Peace (and sound), […]

    Four Poems: Moth, Silence, Flower, Flood

    by
    Here are four poems from today and yesterday. The one above is from the Daily Haiku prompts off Mastodon, where today’s prompt was “moth.” This second is inspired by a poem shared by Terry, along with some explanations and possibilities and the concept of a “silence map” took hold in my mind. A third poem […]

    Daily Create: DawnRise

    by
    The prompt for today’s DS106 Daily Create was about a “dawn chorus” and I patched together a little song with an image of a dawn over a horse farm I drive by every day on my way to school. Peace (and quiet), Kevin

    Chordiflora Harmoniosa

    by
    Today’s DS106 Daily Create prompt was to “be a plant” and so I thought, let me invent a musical plant that doesn’t exist. I used ChatGPT to help me think of some musical scientific names and then Adobe Firefly to create an image of a plant with a musical theme, and then Soundtrap to compose […]

    World Poetry Day: Finding A Poem

    by
    For World Poetry Day, the daily prompt at DS106 Daily Create was to explore poetry of endangered languages. I went black-out with mine, using a collection and some text from the editor. A simple idea: collect poems in endangered languages Help document how poetry exists The conversations and encounters with poets from all over the […]

    Daily Create: Coloring

    by
    The prompt for this morning’s Daily Create via DS106 was to use Scrap-Coloring to color an image or file. I’ve used the site before and it’s easy to get lost in it, particularly if the image has a lot of little details. I chose the cover design of my album of sound sketches from last […]

    Make A Stamp

    by
    Today’s DS106 Daily Create by Sarah is to make a stamp for the Daily Create. I found an online tool to do that, and used an image of art supplies and the Daily Create lettering. The Make A Stamp activity reminded me of a song some of us collaborated on for the CLMOOC Postcard Project […]

    Daily Create: Gratitude Zine

    by
    Today’s prompt for the DS106 Daily Create, by Sarah, is to use Austin Kleon’s idea for making a Gratitude Zine through art. I created a front page of a zine, and posted it via Mastodon, where I share my Daily Create responses every morning, but I am grateful, too, if you have arrived here at […]

    Nethermind

    by
    This was my response to the DS106 Daily Create prompt yesterday, about naming that time between sleep and wakefulness. I often wake with snippets of song lyrics in my mind. (I had submitted the prompt after reading an interest post of sharing by someo...

    Radio Poem

    by
    This morning’s Daily Create was to listen to the radio, and grab some lyrics, and then make a poem. I used an online radio streaming site, bounced around, and grabbed some words. Peace (and sound), Kevin

    DS106: Remix Monday (Week 4)

    by
    I’m doing a five-week, every-Monday remix of a piece of art from the earlier days of DS106. (Read more about what I am up to here). This is week four. So one more week to go. It’s unusual for me to stay with something like over many weeks time. I am usually a move-quick and […]

    DS106: Remix Monday (Week 3)

    I’m doing a five-week, every-Monday (unless I space out and forget to get it done) remix of a piece of art from the earlier days of DS106. (Read more about what I am up to here). This is week three. For this week’s remix, I took the text of the image about remix, and used […]
