About a week ago I signed up to participate in the latest Creative Assignment hosted by Meg at elsie marley. Meg is the creator of Kids Clothes Week, and more recently has launched a series of “creative assignments”, so clearly she has a knack for inspiring community projects.

Her creative assignments are just that – she assigns a theme and provides (minimal) instruction and then off you go to create something in response. Let the assignment take you wherever you want. If the assignment tickles your creative spirit, all the better.

The theme for this particular creative assignment is “twofer” – two things stuck together. Each participant had to contribute one word, and then Meg used a random generator to create pairs of words for each participant to use for their twofer assignment.  My pairing:

I was quite happy that Meg’s instructions included the following assurances:

 Don’t over think this. Don’t make a 1:15 scale model or a full size quilt! But do make something, even if it is just a sketch. Don’t be self conscious, please. Your idea might be crap, my idea might be crap, but that’s perfectly fine. That crap idea? It might just lead to a super fantastic one down the line.

The first thing that came to mind when I received my word pair was: a spoon being used to eat the sky – like clouds that look like ice cream scoops, and a spoon digging in. But then that seemed so literal and obvious to me. So what did I do? Nothing, until today when the assignment is due.

And then a couple of ideas struck me, and I couldn’t decide which to choose. So you’re getting a twofer of (hopefully) creative responses:

(A) First, the attempted creative response of spoon posing as rocket ship blasting through the sky. This was inspired by my son’s ability to turn any item into something else to support his imaginative play.

(B) And now for the attempted creative photography of spoons holding the sky. No laughing.

I’m glad I joined in on this creative assignment. It was like a pop quiz without the possibility of a failing grade; just what you need to clear out the cobwebs in your creative channels. Up for the challenge? Follow Meg’s elsie marley blog and join in on the next creative assignment.
