June Creative Fun Day Recap


Rachel was the only other participant for Creative Fun Day and that actually worked well since it allowed us time to focus on our plans for our new project - the Kindness Co-op.   We are planning to create a craft / art booth where we can make items that we can sell to raise money for local organizations.  We hope to be able to set it up so that people can choose what they want to pay and where they want us to donate the money.  We can give a range of price options to help them decide what to pay and then give a choice of three local agencies and programs that their money can go toward.  We are calling it a “co-op” because we hope some other art and craft makers may want to join us and be part of the fun.

Rachel and I discussed different things we could make and came up with a good list and we will be trying to make a few of each item during the next couple of weeks.  We are looking at having our first booth at the Johnson City Farmer’s Market at the end of July or beginning of August.

After Rachel left to head off to the mountains, I still had a little creative time left and so I worked on some alcohol ink tiles.  I tried different techniques and some regular patterns.  I hope to seal these and then shatter some of them to turn into mosaic tile pieces.

Here are some pictures of my creations:








 (I think this last one is my favorite.)

 Hope you can join us for July’s Creative Fun Day which will be Saturday, July 21.

Something New

For the last two months, I have been trying to do something specific for 30 days in a row (starting with the first day of each month.)  In April, I worked on a new habit a day or (enhancing a current habit).  In May, I complied, meditated and wrote up basic belief statements.  I like the 30 Day concept. So I am going to continue the process with something new each month. Starting this month, I am also going to be putting it on a blog called A Month of Days

This month I am making an Artist Trading Card (ATC) each day.  If you are interested in following my creative adventures in 30 Day projects, join me at A Month of Days
