Art Every Day Month Check-In: Day 28
November 28th, 2011, Comments (18)
Welcome to day 28 of Art Every Day Month! The energy of this group is fantastic. I think creativity is contagious. Notice if you start seeing more and more opportunities to be creative now that you've made it part of your day to day life!
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're receiving this post via email, you'll have to click through the blog to see the widget.) 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 participants page to sign-up 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 #aedm2011 to mark Art Every Day Month tweets. It helps to find others who are tweeting about AEDM!
Instagram: You can use the same #aedm2011 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.

Day 24: Bring Love Onesie
November 24th, 2011, Comments (9)
I've been wanting to make some fun onesies for Annabelle and AEDM seemed like the perfect opportunity to dive in! I picked up some Sharpie fabric markers and drew on a plain pink onesie. The bird is loosely based off the birds in my Bring Love painting. I want to try some freezer paper stencils too, so maybe I'll do that tomorrow.
Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

Day 15: Mermaid and the Moon Necklace
November 15th, 2011, Comments (22)
Today, I created intuitively. I started the piece early in the morning, letting some ink and paint drip on wet watercolor paper while the hubster held Annabelle. After I put her down for a nap, I came back and played. And during a second nap I played some more. This is what came out. Somehow the moon has become the first piece in a necklace of underwater pearls.

Degas had it right. True creativity lies in using everything available in the medium at the moment. I think it's important to have a plan but I think one should also be flexible and go with the flow. ~Mary Jean Mailloux
