Art Every Day Month – Final Thoughts

I’ve had a few days now to mull over what I accomplished during AEDM and I’m satisfied with the results.  I know that I ended up biting off more than I could chew, but mostly that was due to having a ton of other non-AEDM things happen in the beginning of November.  It was a [...]

Art Every Day Month – Post #8

Well, it’s the last day of November, aka Art Every Day Month, andI actually got all my cards finished!  I did end up dropping the fifth suit, but I managed to keep six cards for each of the other four suits.  I’m going to do a wrap-up post (after I have time to digest everything [...]

Art Every Day Month – Post #7

Here are some images that I spent this afternoon photo collaging.  “Wash Away Unwanted Energy” and “Heal Yourself” will have some embellishments added before they are complete and all the cards need to be put on their backings, these are just the images from my computer that I printed.  I’ll work on them some more [...]

And, finally, I have “Swim Upstream” and “Bring Light to Darkness.”
I am happy with the watercolor painting that [...]

Art Every Day Month – Post #4

Art Every Day Month – Post #3

I set aside today as the day to get a lot of work done on my Inspiration Cards.  In fact, I’ve now decided that I
won’t work on my metalwork at all this week and instead focus on the AEDM project and do some needed housecleaning.  It’s kind of like a mid-semester break.  Of course if I [...]

Art Every Day Month – Post #2

I’ve made sketches of the Earth suit of cards and actually took pictures (sorry for the quality)!  I’m still working out ideas for the other suits, but I need to get started on this grouping.
In case you can’t read the captions, the cards are “Los Dias de los Muertos”, “Pile Stones”, “Count Your Change”, and [...]

Art Every Day Month – Inspiration Cards

So it’s day three of Art Every Day Month and so far I have little to show for it.  On October 31st I brainstormed a project for it based on Susie Monday’s Inspiration Card project, but since then I have had little time to do any real work on it.  I could go through all [...]
