Art Every Day Month: November 3rd

Creating(front), originally uploaded by Leah Virsik.

To create everyday and then document it, not just think about it…that’s the challenge I accepted when I took on Leah Piken Kolidas Art Every Day Month challenge. I wanted to have a good excuse to blog more. Plus, it’s a great reason to connect with other creatives.

It’s interesting what comes up… what to post, what to create… we’ll see how it goes…

The image above came out of inspiration from Carolee Gilligan Wheeler and Jennie Hinchcliff’s book Good Mail Day. Mail art is really interesting. You create it and send it out into the world. I like that.

    Mail art: wow. I need to try that, too.

    I am looking forward to getting to know you through Art Every Day Month.

    Thinking… I have a poetry pen pal… what if I had a visual art pen pal… or just sent visual art our randomly via the mail. Interesting thought…

    Oh, I just love how the word is surrounded by stitching. It looks so cool!

    Mail art is definitely fascinating… and who wouldn’t like to receive a dolled up piece of mail? Beautiful work!
