Sunshine 2022: Prompt Seven

[enemytosleep]

Check out the Master List to find links to all of the 2022 challenge posts. Remember that there is no official deadline, so feel free to join in at any time or go back and do any prompts you've missed!

If you are inspired to answer with art, vid, or other media, we’d love for you to share what you created. If you create any fanworks, feel free to add them to our AO3 Collection.



Prompt 7: Sunshine Jasper
A stone with a banded appearance, Sunshine Jasper is often used to keep negative energies at bay and keep your outlook positive so you can realize your dreams. It's also called Bumblebee Jasper and is often a warm sunshine yellow. Interestingly, it's an agate and not a jasper as the name implies. It is a new stone, first discovered in an Indonesian volcano in the 1990's. As it has not yet been found anywhere else in the world, the consensus is that this rare stone helps to attempt the impossible.




Bonus Prompt: Opal


Please feel free to respond in whichever way comes naturally to you, be it thoughts that you share or a work that you create. If you’d like a more specific idea to kick things off: share a letter written to your younger self about things you’ve learned that relate to the Sunshine Jasper theme.

Here is the first part of my response to the Opal prompt. I discovered I had so many graphics to talk about that it's going to take more than one post to do it!

[enemytosleep]

I'm excited there will be more posts!!

[greerwatson]

The second Opal post is now up. More discussion of methodology, plus quite a few more backgrounds.  :D

Still more to come!

[autobotscoutriella]

Those are so pretty! I look forward to seeing the next round, too!

[greerwatson]

I've now got Part 2½ up. Yes, a silly name; but it's actually just more of the sort of thing I did last post, but created in the past week or so.

Assuming I've got that out of my system for a bit, I'll now move on to Part 3, which will have more about technique.

[greerwatson]

Part Three is now up. It discusses the use of coloured filters—and eventually I decided it was quite long enough, so there'll be another post about them, too!

[greerwatson]

Part Four is now up!

[greerwatson]

I've now got Part Five up.

[bemused_writer]

Lovely as usual!

[greerwatson]

Thank you! And ... next Opal post is also now up.

[greerwatson]

Part Four of Opal is now up.

[enemytosleep]

I'm so glad that we included opal as it's multicolor and, as far as prompt responses go, the gift that keeps on giving.

[greerwatson]

It hasn't finished giving yet! I think there are two more posts to go.

[greerwatson]

Part 2½ is now up. (More of the "tapestry" type variants—plus a new line of development.) These were made in the past week or so; and, fingers crossed, I've now satisfied my zeal for creation for a bit.

Part 3 will be coming soon. I've already started organizing it in my mind. It'll discuss some more techniques I've used.

[autobotscoutriella]

Ooh, those tapestry variants were some of my favorites - I can't wait to see them!

[greerwatson]

Part Three is now up. No tapestry variants (except for a few added to the previous post); but I hope you like these, too.

[greerwatson]

I've now put Opal: Part Five up, if you're still interested.

[greerwatson]

Part Three is now up. And yes ... more to come.  :D

[bemused_writer]

Thanks for sharing these!

[greerwatson]

You're very welcome!

[greerwatson]

I've just put Part Five of the Opal posts up.

[enemytosleep]

Ooo a treat for when I get back to the house. :D
