I know it is a little late...and long overdue....but you never know when inspiration will strike. Like today at the hair salon, in the Ladies Home Journal. I read an article about choosing an activity and doing it everyday for a year. Some took photos, some knitted, etc. In the past, while on an ACTS retreat team, I have hand-lettered one small 4 x 5 piece of artwork based on a different bible verse each day. I sit down and letter, without planning or lines, on painted paper that I have trimmed to size in advance. Then, I give one to each retreatant and team member on the retreat weekend. So, using that formula of creating art and giving it away...
I intend to create one small piece of artwork per day, based on wherever I find inspiration..song lyrics, bible verses, even Pinterest. I will then post that art on my blog and/or Facebook each day for 365 days (hopefully!). The first person to request that day's artwork will receive it in the mail (snail mail so you can hold it in your hand), free of charge.
I am starting this endeavor yesterday, with 2 pieces of art. I know that doesn't make sense, but February 5th was my mom's birthday. She would have been 87. It just seems appropriate to start a year of inspiration and giving on that day. Plus, I figure I'll be able to remember when I started!
I know that I haven't written in over 2 years! And that there is probably no one out there reading this, but here goes anyway...and if you are there and want one of these pieces, let me know! I will just number them 1 to 365 (for today, the blue is #1 and the orange one is #2), so just state the number you want. You can e-mail me with your address. One per person, please. Or you can have me mail one to someone you know that could really use a tiny bit of inspiration.
#1 is available in notecards
