Daily Creative Journal _UPDATE

Daily Creative Journal _ Project Update

The first 30 days are down and it went very fast.  I'm not sure how much time the 
author expected to spend on each daily project but I feel like i’m doing something wrong 
or maybe he didn’t have separate day job. Some projects took ten to fifteen minutes and 
others took most of the evening or even days to complete.  It felt like this project totally 
consumed my life. It didn't take long to notice that I didn't have time to work on other 
creative projects. On the other hand, I had so much fun I don't want to give it up so I'm 
making a bit of a change. (it's my daily project so I can change the rules, right?) 
I am going to alternate months, taking a month off every 30 days to work on other 
projects and catching up on laundry and such. ;) This might turn into a 2 year 
project but I think it will be worth it

First 30 days in review

Day 30 - Daily Creative Journal

Day 30 - Triangulate. Only work with triangle shapes 

today- or make a triangle with a bunch of stuff.

Fun with Triangles. I fell like I should add

 some text to this page but nothing has come to me yet.

In the pockets I added a couple Flexogans made out of triangles.

You can make your own with this tutorial.

Day 29 - Daily Creative Journal

Day 29- Working with words. Make an image with just words 

or letters. You can cut them from magazines, draw them 

yourself or print out words on a computer to work with.

Created in Adobe Illustrator and Photoshop. 

This one took me several days to complete but 

I'm happy with the end results.

Day 28 - Daily Creative Journal

Day 28 - Make a rubbing by placing paper over rough objects 

and using charcoal or chalk to pick up the details. Gravestones 

are the classic source for this technique.

Husband and I went to a local park. I took rubbings 

from a tree, a park bench, bricks and stones. I then used the 

textures as the background for this journal page.

Day 27 - Daily Creative Journal

Day 27 -  Work on the other hand. Pick a medium you've comfortable 

with, then work with your non-dominant hand - if you 

usually favor your right hand then only use your left and vice-versa.

Medium used - watercolor pencil. This was a lot harder then I expected but 

the poppies didn't turnout too bad.

Day 26 - Daily Creative Journal

Day 26- Create a new traffic sign. Don't post it in a

 public place without permission, thought!

This is a traffic sign that I would like to post on all merging lanes.

Created in Illustrator and Photoshop.

Day 25 - Daily Creative Journal

Day 25 - Take a five-minute walk, then make something 

using whatever materials are available where you're ended up.

Leave it there for someone else to discover, but be sure to document it first!

My husband and I went for a walk at the Lacey, WA community center. 

There we found a bike trail along with some random walking trails. I created 

this using weeds, sticks and rocks. It was fun getting back to nature.
