Art Every Day Month Check-In: November 26th
November 26th, 2009
Today is the 26th day of Art Every Day Month. To everyone in the States, a Happy Thanksgiving to you! I'm feeling especially grateful for this fabulous community and all your amazing creative expressions. Thank you for being you!
The box below is a widget that I provide each day as an optional place to share a direct link (blog post or flickr image) to that day's creation. If you don't have something to share today, don't worry about it! Share when you can. In the meantime, be sure to check out what other participants are creating! Check out the links from today's post and the links in the sidebar for instant inspiration. You can also see lots of great work in the AEDM flickr group. Feel free to share your work there too!
If you use the widget, please link to a specific blog post (or specific image if you're linking to a flickr page or other website) instead of your main blog page or website. If you want to share, but don't have a specific page to link to, feel free to use the comments section of this post to share what you're working on. If you're posting less than once a day, no problem! Simply use the latest one of these posts to share a link to your creation. For some, it's too much to keep up with posting every day, but don't let that get you down. Do it if you can and if you can't, just keep on creating, that's the most important part. If you get off track and miss a few days of creating, don't let that freeze you up either. Just pick up where you left off and keep moving forward. One foot in front of the other. You are making your life a more creative one with each step.
If you're new to Art Every Day Month, check out the AEDM info page for all the details, then send me an email to sign-up before you use the link widget to share your creations. (If that email link isn't working, you can email me at leah at bluetreeartgallery.com)
Instructions: Please see the Art Every Day Month Instructions post if you have any confusion about how to post your link or how to sign up.
Twitter: Are you participating in AEDM and you're on Twitter too? I'm on there as @leah_art and I've been using the hashtag #aedm to mark Art Every Day Month tweets. I also started a Twitter list for AEDM which can help you easily find Twitter folks who are participating. If you're not on the Twitter list yet and would like to be, send me a DM (Direct Message on Twitter.)
I want to thank anyone who spends part of their day creating. I don't care if it's a book, a film, a painting, a dance, a piece of theater, a piece of music. Anybody who spends part of their day sharing their experience with us. This world would be unlivable without art. Thank you for inspiring me. ~Steven Soderbergh

The starfish story (very motivational), and a knitted starfish. It would make a nice Christmas tree ornament.

Happy Thanksgiving! So much to be thankful for. Everyday should be Thanksgiving…although I would weigh 300 pounds if that were the case.

Happy Thanksgiving! I have so much to be grateful for, among them the opportunity to draw and paint each day! Still working on my Toy Pony series.

It seems this year Thanksgiving coincides with Eid Al Adha here in the Middle East – in a way, our Eid is also a thanksgiving. I think that’s great!
BTW – because our internet here is behind a proxy, some blogs would not let me submit my comments ..
Happy thanksgiving to all

Hope everyone had plenty of turkey today (or ham)if you celebrate Thanksgiving. If not I hope you had a wonderful Thursday.

This AEDM challenge has been great for me to try out new techniques that I have never done before.
Today’s Saltscape experiments have taught me several lessons… including the old one about being patient and allowing the results to reveal themselves!
Thanks,
