“As life unfolds, there will be times you will get played.”
So many images unfolded in my mind, when I saw this week’s Illustration Friday prompt, but with so little time and simple materials at hand, I decided that sometimes simplicity says it best.
As always, I leave you with the seeds, you provide the interpretation.
Peace to you in this life of chaotic music!

I love that there is a woman singing as the accordion unfolds. That is so creative!

Thank you for your comments on mine. I had difficulty with such an easy word. Love yours. It really hits home for me. Grew up quite over protected. Learned a lot through trial and error as an adult. Really nicely illustrated.

Oh! An accordion. In all my accordion pictures (I think I’ve done five so far) it never occured to me to think of some “being played.” Interesting interpretation. This woman looks trapped, like she wants to be the music out in the air, not stuck in the bellows. Nice accordion…it makes me think I’ve been trying to put too much detail in mine.

indigene, welcome back! i really love the “getting played” line — is it yours? a perfect metaphor for unfold.
Julia Kelly said
Perfect illustration for the theme- what women doesn’t on occasion fill like she is in the middle of an accordian, being squeezed!!

WOW! Incredible idea and it looks so grand too. The whole idea of this and the way you made it is inspired!!!

Nice take on the theme.
Yes, sometimes I have to remind myself of the old song “Everybody plays the fool”.

I also like the simplicity here. I almost hear the chaotic sounds of the woman and the accordion mixed together.. Great job!

very much got a kick out of this one. reminds me of meeting my cousin when I was little; both she and her sister played the accordian.

I love this!! The accordion entered my mind also as I was thinking of this prompt. I learned to play it when I was a child. I like how you combined the two images. Nicely done!
