Very very small art combines my love for mixed media, creative challenges and vintage books. Can anyone say "Heaven?"
There are two creative tricks I love the most: making very small art and making very quick art - or at least being able to sit down for five minutes and see a big difference when five minutes are over.
I found a challenge that combines both of these: ICAD2014 stands for Index-Card-a-Day and the point is to actually make art on an index card every day for the month ofo June and July. Naturally it took me absolutely no time to say yes.
Ironically, I found the challenge as I was heading out to my car to go to Open Studio at Art for Healing and work on some even SMALLER works-of-art made from Pictionary Playing Cards.
For the first card which I made today, I combined the prompt from the SITSGirls Photo Challenge with the "TEXT" challenge from ICAD.
Its not horrible. A start, anyway. I said I would create - I created - and as 
Scarlet O'Hara says, tomorrow is another day. I used vintage book illustrations, ink, acrylic paint, crayons and, naturally - an index card. Some folks are talking about writing about their day on the back. I may write a one-sentence journal daily. I do know I am going to frame them each to both flatten the card and give each card its 24 hours of fame. Well, fame in my limited world-view.
Thanks for visiting.
I would love to hear what creative projects you're up to lately.

So - that’s my artsy-ness for now. Happy Check In!
I've been participating in the Creative Every Day Challenge for years now. Might seem silly to some because my entire life revolves around the creative process, but this has always given me a place to show up. At first, I wrote about my theater work, poetry and the like, and then I started experimenting with visual art, too.
I'm forever grateful to Leah Piken Kolidas and her work here. I don't religiously write check ins, but in the most recent Art Every Day Month (November 2013) I participated the most I ever have and loved it. Every moment.
