It has been a while since I gave the The Daily Create<\/a> much attention. When I started having a longish train commute I though I do more of this, but the British Rail free wifi blocks flickr and I lost the habit. <\/p>\n

I do look in on the home page and see tweets and last Tuesday I saw Write a Smart Alec Haiku<\/a>, I always liked Haiku and similar short forms for teaching and at least some of my pleasure in the daily create is being a smart Alec. So: Concise<\/a><\/p>\n

\n

Given extra time,
\nInstead of this wee haiku:
\na one word poem<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

I hope that my smart Alec reference<\/a> was clear enough.<\/p>\n

The next day, I glanced at my phone in the office and saw: Make us an experimental water photo<\/a>, unconcerned for the need for stated need for focus, time and consideration<\/em> I glanced out of the window:
\n\"Cloud<\/a><\/p>\n

Cloud Dock | Flickr – Photo Sharing!<\/a>. <\/p>\n

At this point I am feeling as if I starting a roll, but forgot all about tdc until late on Thursday night where the challenge was: Make a baby or something else<\/a>. This seemed far to much bother for bedtime, but I raided my daughter’s old bedroom for a soft toy and Ductapeasaur<\/a> roamed the couch.<\/p>\n

\"Ductapeasaur\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Given longer I would have tried to make a kale forest, but when I started chopping I was in danger of waking my wife so went to bed.<\/p>\n

On Friday I was on holiday and planning a bit of a walk, Make a sound Map<\/a> looked ideal. The instructions are great, Creative activities: sound maps. Sensory Trust.<\/a> and tucked away for future reference.<\/p>\n

Lack of cardboard near at hand made the decision to rely on my memory. Having the ideas in mind made my whole walk much more about sound than usual. A bright breezy day. Although I did lie down in a dampish patch for five minutes with my eyes closed it was pretty quiet.<\/p>\n

The map represents a different five minutes walking the path beside the loch. I missed the sound of the mountain bike that sped by, making me jump out of my skin, from the drawing. I also forgot all about it when I got home and ended up submitting on saturday morning. <\/p>\n

\"Sound<\/a><\/p>\n

The Sound map was the most interesting of the week, it affected my whole morning walk by focusing my mind on sound. <\/p>\n

Safe Havens<\/a> <\/p>\n

\n

Everyone has a safe haven where they go to be alone and clear their mind. Take pictures of yours and make a collage.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

This is a walk I’ve gone on a few times over the last couple of years. I’ve yet to meet another walker on the route.<\/p>\n

\"Alt<\/a><\/p>\n

Sunday’s
\nWe have so much to take in that we forget to look in<\/a>, puzzled me enough to tweet Mariana: but by the time she had explained I’d finished, using Photoshop Touch on the iPad. <\/p>\n

\"tdc1036\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Not sure how interesting that was but photoshop touch makes this sort of thing a snip. <\/p>\n

A geek magnetic poem, please?<\/a> rounded off the week nicely. This reminded me of playing with flash around 10 years ago, making toys for kids. I added a background of my mac colour classic which I dug out from flickr.<\/p>\n

It feels pretty good to be back on the daily create, a wee bit of commenting and looking at other folks productions helped me enjoy the week even more. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
