ICAD 2013 Day One

Today is the first day for the Daisy Yellow Index Card a Day Challenge. I have never participated before, and was excited to join in this year. Each day for 61 days I join 200 plus artists who are also taking part in producing a bit of art on a non-intimidating index card.

My first card has an acrylic paint background applied with a Gelli Plate. I then drew a face int he corner and made the background into her hair.

I am very excited to see what others are coming up with as part of this challenge. You can join in at any time if interested.

I am super excited to be a first-time participant in Daisy Yellow's Index-Card-a-Day 61 day challenge. Beginning June 1, the challenge requires participants to create something artistic (like collage, drawing, painting, etc.) on the card every day. The idea is that an index card is inexpensive and not viewed as "special" paper, so we are less worried about making mistakes. Also, I think the limited size helps too.

I hope this will help with continuing to grow my mixed media skills and also get me back into more regular blog posting.
