Day 20: Acorn Heart

November 20th, 2012, Comments (3)

Tonight, I did this small piece, a tree with an acorn at it's heart. I seem to be loving the acorn/potential/seed image this month!

The days since I've been back have been busy with house guests and the next few days will be filled with more travel and family. Even though I'm tired and lacking in stretches of time, I'm glad to be keeping up my art each day, even if it's in a small way.

Art Every Day Month Check-In: Day 20

November 20th, 2012, Comments (11)

Today is day 20 of Art Every Day Month! I'm back from my trip and back to posting my art here each day! I'm glad I could keep up creating each day, but missed sharing it here! I hope you've all had a great weekend!

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 on the participant page 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, not your main blog page or website (or you can link to a specific image if you're linking to a flickr page.) For example, last year for day one I linked to my first post: http://creativeeveryday.com/creativeeveryday/2010/11/the-owl-and-the-pussycat.html instead of my main blog page: http://www.creativeeveryday.com. This makes it easier for people to find your work.  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.

How to participate in Art Every Day Month: Check out the AEDM info page for all the details, instructions on how to get involved, and then visit the participant sign up page before you use the link widget to share your creations. The Information page also has instructions about how to use the widget below, if you're having any trouble with it.

Survival Guide: If you feel like you could use some more support, prompts, and motivation to keep going throughout the month, check out the Art Every Day Month Survival Guide.

Twitter: If you're on Twitter (I'm on there as @leah_art), I'll be using the hashtag #aedm2012 to mark Art Every Day Month tweets. It helps to find others who are tweeting about AEDM!

Instagram: You can use the same #aedm2012 hashtag if you're playing along on Instagram.

Creative Every Day Challenge participants: If you're not doing Art Every Day Month, you can still use any of the daily Art Every Day Month check-in posts to leave your weekly link.

Art Every Day Month Check-In: Day 15

Today is day 15 of Art Every Day Month! Halfway through the month!

I'm going to be out of town today through Sunday. Don't worry, the daily check-ins will still be here! I have set them up to post on their own. I won't have my laptop though, so I won't be posting my creations until I get back. If you follow me on instagram, I do plan to share my work there as long as I can connect. Creating while traveling is always a little challenging, but hopefully it will provide some inspiration as well! Have a wonderful few days and I'll see you all when I return!

I usually post my art at the end of the day, but every morning there will be a check-in post like this one, where you can share your work whenever you're ready to do so.

Day 14: Golden Trees

November 14th, 2012, Comments (10)

A piece of intuitive art today. Playing with paint on watercolor paper, this is what came out!

Tomorrow, I leave for a few days away with family. The daily check-in posts will still be up, so you can share your work, but I won't have my laptop, so I won't be able to post my work until I return (Sunday.) If I can connect to the internet on my phone, I will be sharing my work each day on Instagram! And I'll be able to check my email occasionally. Good luck with your creating, everyone!!
