Artful Ideas

The object of art is to give life a shape.

–William Shakespeare, Midsummer Night’s Dream

An accomplished friend of mine (dacotahkromes©) from high school took this picture in our hometown.  It’s a place where standing in line is definitely worth it.  Unpretentious.  Popular.  Nearly always, in season.  And since I’m targeting “artful ideas” on this page, ice cream is a good place to begin.  Just imagine some of the wonderful concoctions created at ice cream shops around the globe.  But artful ideas are everywhere.  Creativity that delivers a fun twist, a bit of pizzazz, or a soulful moment.  Experiment, brainstorm … see what comes to mind.

A dozen artful ideas to lead the way!
