So far, ten for ten in spending a few minutes a day doing some art.
Here’s today’s fish:
Weekends are different than the work-week, in that I have a little time for longer-term projects.
Today’s art is related to my costuming hobby, but is also practical. I’ve found myself hanging out with the archers in the Society for Creative Anachronism. I just bought a bow. I’ve made an arm guard. And I have all the appropriate 14th century-ish clothing. (I even wore my wool cloak today during archery practice because it was so cold!)
One thing I really need is a quiver to hold my arrows. So I’m making one.Continue reading “Art Every Day – Day 9”
Weekends are hard. They should actually be a great time to do art, but… no.
There are no fish to share today. I would have to fire up my ‘big’ computer, and I just don’t feel like it.
But it’s not that I haven’t explored personal expression through the various arts today, because I have, in the culinary arts and the art of writing.Continue reading “Art Every Day – Day 8”
Today was a difficult day to accomplish a little art. I did finally sit down in the evening and crank out this lovely:
Despite my difficult time doing a some art, the dinosaurs did get into some mischief again:

Fifteen minutes a day. That’s all I’m shooting for.
The problem with art is that time flies. Fifteen minutes easily becomes one hour. Not ideal when you’re in the office, supposedly ‘working.’
Oh well. Today I fixed the fish I was working on yesterday. I like this better.Continue reading “Art Every Day – Day 5”
A little art every day. It seems easy enough.
Today’s effort wasn’t as good as I would have liked. It’s part of the little project I began to show off yesterday. Another fish, of course.

A little bit of art every day is good for the soul. This month I’m making a point of trying to do something artistic daily, as part of Art Every Day Month.
Because of this, I’ve let myself get into a little project, just for giggles. Drawing is a fun thing, and the idea for this just tickled me. I probably shouldn’t work on it, as I’m in the office and thus should be doing office-y things. Whatever.Continue reading “Art Every Day – Day 3”
The challenge is to create something every day. To do some art. For most, this is the visual arts, and I too would interpret the challenge that way. But there’s more art than just the visual arts, and as my weekends are largely unpredictable, the visual arts didn’t happen for me today.
But I did do some art.Continue reading “Art Every Day – Day 2”
These are the three acronyms that I’ll be working on this month.Continue reading “November: A Month of Acronyms”
