It's time to get past the past and get on with the new, today, the FUTURE! and what better way to begin than with a brand spankin' new WEBSITE!! I've been trying to get to this for months, and have changed my mind many times about what I wanted to do. I decided that a 'landing site' or 'one stop shop' for information was the best idea, since I do have a lot of different things going on out there!
I have been planning on working on a 'creative everyday challenge' of some kind - at least in as much as having a weekly theme which I will examine mostly through photography - but also with video projects as well, and some collaging & jewelry making thrown in for good measure. Now and again, a lovely poem will come about! So, in my own much needed revamping, reincarnating, as in rising from the ashes: I am here to meet my own challenge and I'm going to be creative everyday, as being creative is my life, and my life is my art, and I'm planning on celebrating it every day this year with intended focus. I enjoy that this cool gal, Leah Piken Kolidas started this lovely little collective, and I really like this bit where she says
"Creativity is meant in the broadest sense, so it doesn't have to be something art related. Your creative acts could be in cooking, taking pictures, knitting, doodling, writing, dancing, decorating, singing, playing with your kids, brainstorming ideas, gardening, or making art in the form of collage, paint, or clay...or whatever!
You do not have to post every day! I know for myself that having to post every day for a year would be too much. You can post about your creativity in whatever form you like, whether that be once a day, a few times a week, once a week, or once a month. Do what works for you!
This is a low pressure challenge, with the idea of bringing more creativity into our lives. I will not be the creativity police. I hope that we can all find ways, simple and grand to express our creative selves. Have fun with it!"
Do check it all out right here!! There are plenty of other "challenges" out there, and I will keep following one idea, theme and constantly finding another to explore! I'm looking forward to what comes about and sharing other artists, as well!
I will be posting something I'm working on every day, either on Flickr, youtube, or maybe just right here, but the links will be there for you to check out!
Happy New Year to you, Artist!!
Love and Best Wishes from me, an Artist!! xoxoxoxo
