I like that notion and perhaps that attitude is was kept me from deriving pleasure from the process. (Maybe my attitude about exercise in general got in the way, too.)<br /><br />I look forward to hearing your further thoughts. Good luck with your new daily art.Vivien Zepfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10110439402332926588noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-588118538433483895.post-63877417481387673902013-01-01T21:46:01.183-05:002013-01-01T21:46:01.183-05:00I'm fascinated with your idea of a daily art p...I'm fascinated with your idea of a daily art project for a year. I'll have to think on this a bit. The last three blogs I visited and commented on involved embroidery stitches--something I've loved from childhood. Perhaps my brain is nudging me in a direction. Hmmmm. Will be watching for your further writing.Martha Ginnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01609132014556238098noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-588118538433483895.post-41165021061244965262013-01-01T17:32:47.413-05:002013-01-01T17:32:47.413-05:00Vivien -- I consider these projects to be part of ...Vivien -- I consider these projects to be part of my larger work, even though they don't resemble it very much. I regard them as art in themselves, not merely a daily exercise. <br /><br />Some days I have more ideas than others, but on the dull days I revert to my old favorite motifs and stitches. I'll be writing about that aspect in a couple of days, so stay tuned.<br /><br />I am blessed in that I have never gotten to the end of the year without still regarding the project as a pleasure. In fact, I generally have withdrawal symptoms in January for the old project, even as the new one starts. kathynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-588118538433483895.post-6862910892873549802013-01-01T12:54:24.898-05:002013-01-01T12:54:24.898-05:00Do you find that these daily projects are informin...Do you find that these daily projects are informing your larger work in any way or are they "simply" to help you get in the artist's mode from a different perspective? Do you find it hard to create "on demand"? (I ask this last question because, when I did my weekly journal quilts, I found myself a bit stifled creatively and they became an obligation, not a pleasure.)Vivien Zepfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10110439402332926588noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-588118538433483895.post-72065326757039335602013-01-01T09:09:48.992-05:002013-01-01T09:09:48.992-05:00I want to see the whole thing.
