Thing a Day - the Last 5 Days


Doodles and Crows Ink on Paper

Somehow I missed posting the last 5 days here, though I did send them in to the Posterous site.

On reflection, this was a great month for pushing through periodic inertia.  Even on days when I felt super busy or was sick, I was determined to create SOMEthing.  And the funny thing is that it was energizing.

Overall, I came up with ideas through the month that I'd like to revisit and work on more thoroughly.  When we creating alone all the time it is often difficult to judge the merits of a piece.  I found that when I photographed them to post, it was easier to see what might need tweaking.

Challenges can be so useful to a creative spirit - dare I even say, essential?  Thing a Day was a good one for me.  But there are others to look for - and many that find us.
