A rainbow

It rains here sometimes. Today. Last May. A few times in between.

And sometimes we have rainbows after that. But sometimes we have to make our own.

My art journaling prompts have on more than one occasion inspired my handmade rainbows. Daisy Yellow's prompts have recently inspired a rainbow redo.

Celebrate Rainbows! she said a few years ago in her "Jump Start Your Art Journal" series of prompts. I discovered this series of prompts only last year, and did this rainbow one in May. It was okay.

Day before yesterday, rainbows were on the Daisy Yellow blog again. 6ix 4 challenged us to use a rainbow, sky blue, curious, heart, bird and a window or pocket on an art journal page. Also, at Two Peas in a Bucket, In The Mood To Scrap challenged us to create a project with punched circles and dots. Ok, how about punched hearts and dots?

The photo of the curious cats, actually on each side of a sliding glass door, was taken in 2012, sometime around May. The inside cat is my tabby, Lombard. (Not the same cat in my "treasure" art journal page that was 6ix 2.) The other cat is Creamy, who lived next door and really bonded with my cats until his owners decided to move to Hesperia. I am not sure if Creamy went with them to Hesperia, or if he ended up down the street here in Jurupa Valley at the local animal shelter. I would have liked to have taken him when the neighbors offered, but Don felt three cats was one too many. Plus Creamy was not housebroken, and that's in fact why he was out in the rain on the day this photo was taken.
