Splash Watercolour

Who doesn't love clouds! Fluffy, soft, you yearn to touch these bits of candy floss! Dreamy yes, so why not try painting one in watercolour! You can practice clouds.

Creative writing prompt: Imagine two animals maybe a cat and a dog; a squirrel and a mouse are fighting for the same scraps and want to prove their right to have it. Use any excuse but something that should shut the other animal  up and cause him to slink away… meanwhile the prey has vanished…. Write this in dialogue form and make it as crazy as possible. Speak through the animal’s voice. Decide its tone of voice - is it is weak, strong, a loser - for each animal. Choose your point of view. Bonus:You get to write both POV (points of view)! Can you post this one? Muster up some courage - nobody is going to bite you.:) It would be great fun.  Tweet Tweet
