hopeful (in photos)

Where do you see hope?

in a young shoot, just beginning to sprout.

in windows to a brighter day.

in sugar-rimmed clinks and puckered lip celebrations.

for You Capture: Hopeful

:::

I'm also hopeful you'll play along in my new game - some collaborative art, so to speak.

Do you like to take pictures? Draw or paint? Sew, print, or sculpt? Design rooms and outfits?

Then come back to play.

Starting tomorrow, I'll end the week with a little Snippet for you. There'll be just a few words that hint at a story. Like showing you a patch or the trim, or maybe just a thread of a great big quilt.

Then you come back during the week with an answer for me in whatever form of art is yours. Snap a photo, sketch a picture, write a poem. Dig through your archives, flickr pages, or Etsy shops; or try something new. Just illustrate the story you see, or pick up where I left off. We'll link to them all, and at the end of the week I'll feature the one (or ones) I like best.

Sound fun? Stop back tomorrow for more details, to read my first Snippet and see the responses of a few friends who are helping me introduce the concept. (Feel free to email me with questions - clarity.chaos at gmail.)
