week 5 for 365-2

My Monday creative check in.....  I managed to make art every day last week and just love it.  I usually unwind at night in front of the TV and then spend most of the evening feeling guilty that I'm being a "flat Martha" (you must read this post!).  I finally discovered a solution.  I've filled a mid-sized bin with some basic notebook supplies: pens, markers, colored pencils, parallel pen, and a couple notebooks.  That way I can doodle, draw, sketch, whatever while I mindlessly watch TV!  Plus, at the end of the night it all goes back in the bin for a tidy room til I'm in the mood again.  This solution kept me busy every night this week....

I'm participating in a round robin zine and sent off my first installment to Dori:

Am now caught up in the Documented Life notebook (week 5)
      week 4: hidden/secret word/message - I made foldover tabs covering my inspirational words

Tabs open (under endless is the word 'discovery'):

      week five:  doodle a border

I added a list on the left of the artsy things I did and like that at a glance I can look back through the year and see what I've worked on - think I'll keep that element each week!

Started working on a couple of canvases that I picked up cheap at a yard sale last summer - early steps:

Not sure where they're going, but at least they're going!

Made a long overdue postcard for Leslie - promised her something hand lettered......

I've received a ton of mail art in the last few days so now I have to get busy and generate some replies!  I imagine next week's creativity may revolve around mail art!
