As I was looking over my list of ICAD prompts for this week I was trying to figure a way to fit the Scribble Picnic prompt JARS in there. Since I am slightly obsessed with succulents these days, I used the ICAD prompt Sprout and added these succulent sprouts to my JARS. You see I'm missing a jar because there's one more sprout on the table waiting to be planted.
I meant to take a picture of the little succulent gifties that I made for the staff members who earned a prize from me but things got so busy today that I forgot. I still have two of them on my desk at work, so if I remember in the morning I will capture a photo before I give them away.
Now, I'll be headed to the picnic to see what all the other Picnickers brought in their jars. Won't you join me by clicking here? And should you want to picnic with us next week, the theme is FOX.
Oh, and before I got those sprouts in jars down on paper, I did make another sprout card for the ICAD prompt using some of what was left from a previous card.
How do you like them mushrooms?
And a quick anecdote my daughter texted to me involving a jar. (She teaches in a middle school.)
"A kid used expired eye drops in my class and asked to go to the nurse. I replied with haste "You'd better hurry before she has to use the eye vacuum on you!" He said what's that. I said that's where she sucks your eyeball out, cleans it, then puts it back in. He looked pretty scared. Then I told him he better hope she puts the right eyeball back in because there's a jar back there of eyeballs she just couldn't get back in."
Then she added that she thought it sounded like something I would say!
Ha, I just saw this come up, Lorraine. A lovely idea to use jars as such and a great contribution. I really like the fuscia background too. So glad you joined us again for this week. Wonderful. Thank you so much.
ReplyDeleteThanks Michael. It's been a busy last week of school keeping me from answering back. Glad you liked the background color. With the exception of my craft room, we're pretty much with a neutral pallet. It's so hard picking out paint!
DeleteLovely jar sketch today and a cute mushroom card!
ReplyDeleteThank you Christine.
DeleteHaHa...love the anecdote. Your jars are lovely...like the blue. My grandson Marc is getting married July 1st and his bride to be loves succulents. She had grown enough in small pots to use as table favors at the reception. I have several myself.
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful time at the wedding. Succulents seem to be the thing these days.
DeleteOh my, a jar of eyeballs - poor child must have been terrified at that news!
ReplyDeleteLove your delicate painting of the jars with their seedlings Lorraine.
Happy days - Mary
Ha! Given the grade level, I hope he figured out that she was teasing. Thanks for visiting.
Deleteplants in jars? perfect combination. wouldn't mind seeing them growing into the shape of the jar. wonderful idea and drawing.
ReplyDeletehave a lovely day.
I should really have made the plants in the jars bigger. I let the prompt from the other challenge dictate the size as I was thinking sprout is small.
DeleteLorraine,
ReplyDeleteI have just started to hear the term succulents. Our Art Gallery now has a display. Plants and art in conjunction. Very interesting.
Great picture.
Blessings

Thank you Janis. There all over the place here. Real and faux.
Deletegreat colours for the jars and mushrooms :D
ReplyDeleteLove the jars . . . and really love those mushrooms!
ReplyDeleteSuch well done jars, and I love how they overlap! It's fun that the ICAD prompts, which I have been terrible at keeping up with :-(, have helped inspire your Picnic scribbles!
ReplyDeleteGreat work on those jars capturing both transparency and dimension. Loved the story, I laughed at it.
ReplyDeleteThe mushrooms are such fun!
