Start with one color.
A book cover, mug, or scarf can be your starting point. Agree on one room, your home, or a short familiar route.
Collect six discoveries.
Find something tiny, something textured, a repeating pattern, an unexpected pairing, a close-up, and your favorite find. Take photos or make sketches.
Choose your collection.
Put your six images in prompt order in a phone album, or arrange your sketches on a page.
Make time to share.
Each person chooses one favorite and explains what they almost missed. Give the collection a playful title.
