Hi all! Hope you are all enjoying the first few weeks of the new year. For all the mum's who are getting ready to send the kids back to school, I also hope you are putting some thought and dreaming up ideas of what you will do (creatively) once you have a little more time to yourself . I wanted to share a project that I am doing for myself, and which has so far inspired lots of friends to start their own. It is called Project 365 and can be followed via my blog.
Simply - take one photo a day of anything you want so at the end of the year you have 365 photos - one representing each day.
The reason I wanted to do this was to help keep me looking at the world thru creative eyes, and allow the flow of ideas, colours, styles etc to keep coming every day this year. I figure the more aware I become of my surroundings, the more inspired and excited my art/craft creations will become. So far I have been taking more than one picture every day which has been even more exciting, and shows how simple it can be. So I encourage you all to start your own project. Whether its taking a picture of a pretty colour you see, or a building, or a tree, or the ocean or a sunset or a dish you have made for dinner - whatever - take it and save it to a file on your computer. After the first month you will have 30 odd photos and you will soon start to see what it is that your eye finds attractive. This can help you to find your next Art/Craft project for 2009.
I encourage you to share your photos via the Creative Fusion group on Facebook. You never know, your picture may not only inspire you, but all the other members of the group!
Here are a couple of mine ;-
