Unknown yet to the Burgeron family in Bovine TX, yet well known soon in The Village: Daisy (aka Dark Daisy). Don’t let those cute cheeks fool you, you’ll never know which side she’s on. And, she ain’t telling you, because … Continue reading →
WOW! Thanks again to Bill Smith for his leadership in finding wonderful assignments and prompts to explore here in The Village. It may be that his cottage here in The Village is in a time zone ahead of mine — either that, or his “waking music” might play a bit earlier than mine each morning. Today’s The […]
To wrap up audio week with sufficient credits, I present one more audio piece. Based on the Assignment “Reverse Audio Quiz” in the ds106 Assignment Bank, I have taken a portion of audio from The Prisoner and have reversed it. However, I have selectively reversed some of Number Two’s speech, so you need to identify […]
I was sent to a resident bungalow this week to help in creating a new arrangement for the occupant. First priming and painting were done first. The resident decided on Rye Grass green for wall color – it reminded him of when he was a child and felt like all the cares in his world … Read more

I am really taken by bot wisdom of late. We did one daily create with @everyadage and I have been following it ever since. I love the nonsensical prompts that almost make sense.

So here is: Is it not unimportant to have trumpets coming from a bitter tulip?
I tried so many possibilities for showing this visually! How do you show a bitter tulip? In the end I settled for shrivelled equals bitter. What background is appropriate? In the end I settled for showing wonderful music coming out of the trumpet being played by the bitter tulip.
The idea here was: Is it not unimportant to have trumpets coming from a bitter tulip when they make such wonderful music?
As it is a saying (we have many sayings in the village) and I used village plain font, I am having it count for a few credits in #prisoner106.
How? All images CC0. I used Photoshop and mainly played with embossing and skew tools. Got texture somehow in the background and made a nice frame for it through render > picture frame.
This was challenging in design and made me play with new tools in Photoshop – had never used skew before. Hard fun! Thank you Ron and Janet for playing!
In the episode “It’s Your Funeral”, Number 2 is honored during ceremonial occasions to wear the golden Great Seal of Office. In the scene in the watchmaker’s shop we see a rare glimpse into the design process. Left laying around for all to see is the original designer’s sketch of this seal! As is common […]
