Shrink
This week’s creative prompt is Shrink.

Life shrinks or expands in proportion to one’s courage. 
Some artists shrink from self-awareness, fearing that it will destroy their unique gifts and even their desire to create. The truth of the matter is quite opposite.

Here is my post about on the prompt of “Shrink” at this site. Didn’t think I could come up with anything and then I thought of a current situation and was inspired to take the photo and write a bit and make a poem, too. Thanks. :

when she dreams, it’s as if the sky and sea would shrink and fit into her little room in the attic :-)

Not sure if this quite fits the theme…but thought I’d throw it out there for ‘thought’ anyway.

This was a fun one! I’ve been wanting to try tilt-shift miniature photography, so this inspiration is spot on.
HERE is my first attempt.

I am trying to “shrink” the amount of possessions in my house, and I am blogging about it here at Marina’s 100 Things Challenge. Right now I have worked on the bathroom a little, so if you click on the bathroom link you’ll find a list of items that must be shrunk to 100 [from 479]!

I’m trying to create illustrations that are up to date with the news. I started with a different idea, but I think this one works.

one side makes you smaller, and the other makes you taller-but which is which? I think I’m not the only one who thought of Alice when reading the word shrink

A little late in the game once again, but I really wanted to do this for this challenge. My contribution is a “shrunken apple head”…only trouble is that it didn’t “shrink” much yet. I’ll update the progress on my blog though the coming week or 2. I hope you enjoy!
