Index Card a Day days 15 - 21

Third week of Index Card a Day challenge.  Starting to get more comfortable with this process.  Learning so much from other artists participating in the challenge.  What am I learning you say?  I am learning to be free.  Free to try new things, free to make ugly art and free to have fun.

Stormy Weather

This week was so much fun.  I went off prompt a couple of times, did collage, worked with stencils and tried a technique I saw demonstrated by artist Lindsay Olstrom of putting watercolor on plastic, dragging the card through the color to make a background.  I learned a lot.

Until next week....pilgrim

The art this week was a lot of fun and off in many different directions.  My least favorite was my idea to try and show the many colors of sapphires.  But it was fun to use my imagination to try and display the various colors.

That is what ICAD is all about, trying new things; sometimes using the prompts and sometimes doing your own thing.  Just having fun.

Until next week.  pilgrim

Days 1 - 7 of Index Card A Day (ICAD)

June 1st, such an exciting day.  The 2019 Index Card a Day challenge begins.  From June 1 to July 31, 61 days of creating everyday.  There is a theme for the week and a prompt for each day.  If the prompt does not float your boat, you can just create whatever makes you feel good.  The main goal is to create everyday.  I started participating in this project in 2015 and it is something I look forward to.

This year I am going to blog and show the cards 7 days at a time.  This is the first post because I had to decide if I really wanted to blog about this experience.  After wrestling with this for a few days,  I decided to give it a go.

The cards I am using are 4x6 index card dividers a little heavier than the white index cards.  I love the way they accept watercolor and gouache.

Below are the cards for the first 7 days.

Giant Peppermint

Mail Art

Reflection

Stencil 

Petals and leaves

The first seven days have been a hoot.  Until next week.
