Just Do It

I can't remember if it was "The Artist's Way" or "The Creative Habit" that had a list of questions - helping me to figure out what part of artmaking I love and what part I have to just grind through.

I love designing, thinking, planning. I love playing around with materials and improvising abstract compositions. I love hand work. While I can machine quilt well - that's the part I don't really love so much. Which means that I have a number of pieces mostly done - just waiting to get through that process.

"November Is Art Every Day" month, still. I've had this little piece almost done for quite a while. So having the goal is going to force me to get a few things DONE! This little piece is 5" x 7". Hand dyed, screen printed, machine stitched.

November is Art Every Day Month

Inspired by Jane Davila, who is in turn inspired by Leah at http://creativeeveryday.com/art-every-day-month, I've decided that no matter how small - I'm going to make art every day this month. I spend a LOT of time teaching and writing about making art.


Not nearly enough time DOING. I'm going to take my own advice and MAKE time.


Since I started late I've got two today. Done during hockey practice. Enjoy!
