I thought I’d start the weekend with some inspirational eye candy, both from my favorite Flickr photographers and from my fellow classmates in Style School. I’ve been too busy to really dive in and so, I haven’t done any of the projects yet. But I’ve got some ideas up my sleeve and a 50% off coupon for JoAnn’s. :)

On this weekend’s creative, soul nurturing agenda:

  • Brainstorming for my contribution to Willowing’s Art of Self Acceptance.
  • Designing a 2010 calendar for my Etsy shop.
  • Stretching these muscles, massaging these toes, and moving my body as part of my 30 Day Sadhana.
  • Curling up with my 1072 page book — Stephen King’s latest, Under the Dome.
  • A little bit of soul-spa.. as in, letting myself do the things that make me feel more beautiful, I’ll figure it out along the way..
  • Straightening up, starting with the files on my computer and balancing my checkbook. Because that where’s my inner peace begins.

Have a blessed weekend, everyone!

Art Every Day Month Check In: Nov. 30th

11/30/2009

It’s Art Every Day Month around here!
***

Didn’t get much creating done around the holidays, aside from photos for my Week of Life set. My sister brought home some craft-y supplies and we planned to play, but I was low energy and just didn’t feel like it. Wouldn’t you know I had a surge of creativity as I went to bed last night? I had to write my ideas down to implement later today.. ideas for a Pay It Forward Etsy card swap I’m involved in.. and yesterday I *did* decide to make my own 3-ring binder for my Style School inspiration binder.. Style doesn’t just refer to clothing, it refers to artistic style, home decor style, LIFE style! You can see my binder in the photo above, next to a nifty lamp I thrifted this weekend. I made the binder from 1″ loose binder rings, a hole punch, and an old thrifted vinyl record. The record was songs from Waikiki — Tiny Bubbles and the like. I painted the front gold and made a collage from a photo from Darren Aronofsky’s The Fountain.. it still needs something but I’m not sure what. Better photos when I have proper light, which I didn’t here.

Anyway, Happy Art Every Day Month everyone! I will continue creating, and I hope you will, too!
