Creative Every Day Check-In: December 6 – 12
December 6th, 2010
This weekly check-in post is a place for Creative Every Day Challenge participants to share their creative activities. Normally, I post these on Monday morning, but with Art Every Day Month just ending, this one will be for a shorter week!
Join in the Challenge: You can sign up for the 2011 Creative Every Day Challenge here!
Ways to share: Once you've signed up, you can leave a comment on this post and/or use the "Mr. Linky" widget below to link to a blog post(s) about your creative activities during the days of 12/6/10 - 12/12/10.
The widget below is an optional method of sharing your creativity that makes it easier for others to check out what you're up to. You can use it to link to a blog post (or posts) or flickr image during the week listed. Or if you have a bunch of posts and don't want to link to all of them, you can link to your main blog page once. Do it in a way that makes sense and is fun for you! If you're unsure about how to use the widget, check out the "How to use the Mr. Linky widget" section on the Creative Every Day Challenge page. (If you're reading this in a RSS reader or email subscription, you will not see the "Mr. Linky widget", so click on over to the blog to use it.) If the Mr. Linky widget is missing from this blog post, it's probably a problem with their server and it will come back as soon as it's fixed. You can always leave your link in the comments.
You can also take advantage of the great CED flickr group to post your images and see what others are up to. If you're on Twitter, there's a growing Twitter list of CED participants and you can use the hashtag #CED2010 for the rest of this year and then #CED2011 beginning in January to help others find your Creative Every Day tweets!
Theme: The (totally optional) theme for December is the element of Air. You can read more about the theme and some ideas to get you started here.
Happy Creating!

Hello everyone!
Nothing to do with air this week, but I’m in the middle of showing (over a couple of weeks) pages of my first handmade book.
Hope you all have a great week,
Janice.

Hello! Happy December! Yay, back to daily posts. My insides say that exhibiting and expressing air can be much more difficult to share, at least in the medium that I use. Too bad I can’t use smell-o-vision! (you all are probably quite pleased that I cannot)
I posted images on December 5 and 6. Blue Air and Wonder.

Air – I most certainly indeed do have Air! And I don’t want to let go of AEDM, so here I am at CED! With every intention of posting at least once monthly if not more on the prompts. Thanks Leah!

oh, wow, Leah – this quote about leaves speaks to my soul. Who is this author? “The leaves lay like hands upon the ground. When the wind rustles them, they applaud softly. ~Laura E. Stevens” I know her name, obviously but who is she in terms of books, etc? She is truly a kindred. I must read whatever she has written!

OMG! I spent ALL of yesterday afternoon creating art. I worked on two large pieces and did 4 miniature collages. Stop by to check them out this week. I had spent little time doing art lately and yesterday was such a treat. A wonderful way to start my week. Happy creating!

Leah and other creative beings my week shall share many photos of sea and blue sky from Saturday’s photo shoot. The first of sandstone, sea and blue sky went up today. “Air” and light are so closely related to mood, feeling and seeing for me. I am looking forward to this months theme of “Air”

Hi and Happy Monday! I’ve been thinking about air and suddenly it struck me; air is the spaces in the drawing or painting that let the composition breathe and come to life…:)! It’s a thought!

Thank goodness for all of you!

Happy Monday everyone! I hope you had a great weekend! I spent most of the weekend working on a couple of larger pieces, both of which I started during recent demos where I demonstrated painting techniques in front of a crowd. This weekend I had a captive audience…a line of people at the coffee shop coming in from the parade and the freezing weather…lol. Whatever works, right???

I thought it’d be fun to share photos and ideas about the place where I actually do my creating (well, besides the kitchen).
Hugs and enjoy!

I’ve got a special, almost emergency, “my printer needs parts” event, at The Daily Photograph™ Look under “Buy and Enjoy.” Thanks. (FYI, printer parts are ’spensive. Oy.)

Since AEDM I’ve continued to create daily (although not post daily). I seem a little addicted to my new venture of creating mandalas. I also tried to draw a comic/cartoon type picture which was hugely brave of me to post because I really can’t draw life like things. But I wanted to push myself outside of my comfort zone. I’ve also started to play Christmas carols on piano & recorder…………….oh lots of creative stuff – I’m getting a real healthy buzz from it.
Hope you’re enjoying your creative time.

I’m addicted to the creative every day bit. So glad I joined in for Nov. cause I’ve kept it going. Anyways, haven’t followed the prompt because I’ve been working on Christmas stuff! Still, can’t wait to go check out what people are coming up with this week.

Had the hardest time figuring this out but I seem to have got. I’m sufficiently recovered from NaNoWriMo and AEDM to actually try this.

A new year coming up! I’m finding it hard to post every day. Harder than being creative everyday. Well, hey, that’s okay. We’re all just trying to get along, I think.

I’m just trying to get the hang of this. Loving everyone’s blogs. Terah Murphy

Sliding in at the last minute. I hope some of you will come and see what I have been working on. Comments are appreciated.
