A little bit of inspiration in words + images from the past week and then some… 10 more days of 3×5 365… 10+10=20:
“I now see how gifts like courage, compassion, and connection only work when they are exercised. Every day.” ― Brene Brown
- day 11: the joys of meandering
“The artistic image is not intended to represent the thing itself, but, rather, the reality of the force the thing contains.”― James Baldwin
“Every day you may make progress. Every step may be fruitful. Yet there will stretch out before you an ever-lengthening, ever-ascending, ever-improving path…” ― Winston Churchill
“Don’t be afraid of your fears. They’re not there to scare you. They’re there to let you know that something is worth it.”― C. JoyBell C.
“You must reclaim what you never lost…” -Gnarls Barkley
[on being] faithful to [external] responsibility + [inner] authenticity
“Only in the darkness are able to see the stars.” ~Martin Luther King, Jr.
It is exciting to be approaching the completion of month #1 with this new project! The connection and new flow for this ICAD practice is starting to gradually emerge, which continues to be an interesting process. Stay tuned for more 3×5 365 progress at the end of this month!
If you are looking for a space to exchange inspiration, strengthen, or begin a creative practice, one of my online workshops in this year’s 6 Degrees of Creativity, Everyday Creativity is dedicated to sustaining (or starting) this kind of adventure with ideas, resources, and a supportive space to keep encouraging your artsy spirit throughout this year. Whether it is a 365 project, weekly, or monthly art happening! I am super looking forward to bringing this kind of creative energy to 6 Degrees of Creativity.

Strangely I am most drawn to the shot of the backs of your cards. Did you pre-plan all your prompts? Where did you get them from? I’m considering something similar and looking for inspiration!
Hi Martha! I didn’t pre-plan the 3x5s I worked on, but during Daisy Yellows ICAD this summer I did use some of the prompts kindly offered— Check out the Daisy Yellow site for lots of inspiration if you’re thinking about doing something with index art: http://daisyyellowart.com/icad/icad-faq.html I mostly created whatever came to mind based on the materials around me at the time and let the image organically transform! Best wishes with your creative adventures!
