A 365 project completed (again!)
Well, I cannot believe I did it again! This is my second year completing a “365” project. In 2018, I did a 365 project, following along under the direction of Tammy Garcia: 365 Somethings: 2018. I was amazed when I completed the project in late December, 2018 and also proud. I decided to do it again in 2019. This time I was kind of on my own & not part of any group effort. I branched out to doing a variety of projects; anything creative that would represent each day of 2019 and equal 365 pieces by years end. Not necessarily art on a daily basis, but more often in batches, as time allowed. Working this way turns out well for me!
Altered Book page, Sept 2019
This year, in 2019, I took photos, started working on a quilt, drew and wrote in a “Rocketbook”, created mixed media pages with prompts provided from Daisyyellowart.com, played with paint, pastels & rubber stamps, did collage, participated in art exchanges, created mail art, altered book pages, art journaling . . . did some sewing, continued with the quilt & doodled! At times I wondered if I could “keep up” and make it to 365. Then I turned it around. I told myself to do what I could and keep track! That was probably the hardest part, documenting, organizing, sharing and keeping track of my creative 365 work. But I did it!
Now when I look back (I created a wrap-up video, see below) I say: WOW. Look at all of this! It makes me feel so good to see all the work done so far on a quilt for my son Dallas & his wife + daughter and to see ALL the drawing and doodling I did -Much more than I thought! Lots and lots of art journaling and work in altered books too. I highly recommend such a challenge.

“Creativity belongs to the artist in each of us. To create means to relate. The root meaning of the word art is “to fit together” and we all do this every day. Not all of us are painters but we are all artists. Each time we fit things together we are creating – whether it is to make a loaf of bread, a child, a day.”
Thanks for stopping by!
