Celebrating What Went Right in 2013

Posted on the 09 December 2013 by Juliejordanscott @juliejordanscot
Mixed Media house for Art Every Day Month 2013. It was made from a piece of a drawer. This is my Wonky House - I've also used the "smoke" and the sky as a background for a quote banner.

What went right this year - - the truth is a lot of things went right. My accomplishments weren't as they might have been in the past, but they are turning out to be more and more remarkable as this year comes to a close.

Here is a look at one of my recent - and very happy - "What went right."

I have been participating in Creative Every Day with Leah Piken Kolidas and her Art Every Day in November for the past five years. I have always loved it, but something was different this year.

I was on fire for new techniques and stretching myself and my abilities and out of the blue I found a deeper level to myself and my art. Mixed Media, Functional Art, More Book-Word-Love Art, naturally tons of photography and photo editing, and let's not forget I even practiced sketching eyes and working with paper mache.

I usually feel like I'm not quite up to par with art every day month but suddenly, in 2013, I felt on steady footing.

I've included some images here for you to see.

Book Sculptures by Julie Jordan Scott These are my first book sculptures. I'm officially in love with the process.
Yes, most of my art is made with book pages or ephemera. Big time book lover! Also adore origami dresses! Yes, most of my art is made with book pages or ephemera. Big time book lover! Also adore origami dresses!

There are really many other things

that went right. I am sure I will

share more throughout the month,

but this is what immediately popped

into my mind.
