AEDM Art Everyday Month - November Challenge

Wow! It has been so long. I am married now, have three cats, live in Colorado, am on a fabulous adventure with my new business Juste Etre and doing what I love, completely and whole heartedly again! Isn't it odd that going back to the tools and things we know are almost like olfactory senses?

I was reading my Artizen Coaching Newsletter and she had a link to Leah's Art Every Day Month for November. Seeing the page and the blog links made me feel home again. I felt like I had rediscovred myself, almost.

I keep telling my HunEPants (that's my new hubby of two months) that I want to get back to how I felt before. How connected I felt. How secure and stable I felt. How alive I felt. Mostly how at Peace I felt. That to me is the epitome of Juste Etre.

So I am challenging myself to be back on track. Odd enough a week ago I bought myself a new art journal to to an Art journal piece daily. My sub conscious mind must have know this was coming.

I was thinking about doing NaNoWriMo again this year, but I am not sure writing is where I desire to put my energy. Maybe there is a way I can incorporate the two. hmmm....

I do like how she thinks broadly.

You could be cooking, taking pictures, dancing, writing music, crafting for the holidays, painting, sculpting, writing poetry, making jewelry, sewing, knitting, art journaling, you name it. You could decide to do a small 2"x2" drawing each day or you could do something different every day. Up to you! 

So I am here to share my start into AEDM

Summer of Color- 2014 SOC4

Well, we are at it again. I am taking each prompt as they come. Not assigning any ONE element to my designs. Not aprons or people or anything. Just whatever moves me with the prompt.

With this prompt I decided to do something digital.

Week one was Yellow, Aqua and a Pop of Pink.

This one was made for Miss Trixie! :)

Sketch of the Day "Walking Through Fire"

Sketch of the Day "Walking Through Fire"
Thank you for using Picture and Video Messaging by U.S. Cellular. See www.uscellular.com for info.

I am trying things out like J would do. He used to try out different methods of artist things and see which worked best. I saw he is doing a sketch a day and I thought that might be a nice way for me to keep up on my sketches so I don't have to do a huge blog for Sketchy Thoughts. Plus it keeps me being artistic daily. Now how to share that daily is the thought challenging me lately and right now.

One thing I have been doing it just Pencils. But I notice when I send the image no matter if I use my phone or camera they are not easy to see. So today I did something different. I used an ink pen today on top of my pencils. I think it helps so you can see it better now.

Then I have been playing around with Photobucket and posting straight to Twitter or messaging the picture from my phone. So far I think I like this method. I take the pic with my phone, then send it to a special Blogger.com email. In the message I put the info that is under the picture. 

If I want I can do as I am now and Edit the post once on the site. But it is nice to know that if I am not able to, that I can just send the pic and it will post from there. I can post straight to Twitter but this way I get to say a bit about the sketch.

So here is to new artistic endeavors and new ways of sharing. (clink)
