playing

just playing a bit with paint and texture, after seeing all the index cards from ICAD, i ended up wanting to make just a few. I didn't join in this year but i wanted to try out a few texture things.

they aren't what i was trying for but i have so many other projects going that i couldn't keep trying. most of my current projects involve mandalas but i can't post them so this is all i have to show for paint party friday... 

I am still meeting my deadlines for the upcoming book;

Mindful Mandala for the Inspired Artist.

with two other artists 

published by Walter Foster Publishing 

and I will be submitting a coloring book page for

heART Journal digital Magazine Colorbook 

coming out this future holiday season.

 

and i have started work on an e-class on mandalas my way as well. 

so much to do, so little time...

more from my index card a day sketchbook... just about 5 minutes a day, each day, no grand plan, no scheme, just a few minutes on an index card...

I was not going to join any challenges anymore.... I wanted to just do what I planned to do and not get sidetracked with any new creative ideas since I have too many already ...

but I had already purchased a little notebook of index cards to use as an art journal when i can't carry a big one and i also bought a stack of BRIGHT highlighter pens, hoping that the paper and pens would be less intimidating when i didn't have time for real art supplies.... like when i am sitting in the Mcdonald's drive thru or waiting for my husband somewhere....

And over at Daisy Yellow, they are starting an Index Card a day challenge... so I decided I was doing it anyway, might as well join them. There are so many inspiring little bits of art there... but i don't plan on making messy colorful, wonderful cards with acrylics and paints like I have seen there.... just a little bit of sketching and such...

It starts today but I am posting my last 2 weeks of index cards, and will try to post them weekly or so... if I do manage to create one a day as planned.....

hello all at ICAD, Artists Play room,  artjournal everyday and creative everyday !!!
