AEDM Day 21: Fall Leaves

November 21, 2008

While walking Emmett this evening, a tree caught my eye.  The golden leaves looked so stunning against the midnight blue of the sky.   That inspired my art for today. I recently finished Keri Smith’s latest book How to be an Explorer of the World and enjoyed her simple suggestions for appreciating the beauty all around [...]

AEDM Day 20: Colors and Lines

November 20, 2008

A simple doodle tonight.  Brian started it off with a scribble which I then turned into this shape and filled in with color.  A nice, quick exercise! And how cute is this?  I met with a woman named Kimiko Sakuma this afternoon to share ideas with her about how to incorporate art and creativity with [...]

November 17, 2008

I’m still trying to figure out what I want to put on the pages of the Exploding Box I made yesterday.  I made a visual mind map of some ideas (from a book called The Art of Ritual) that would fit the structure of the four sections.  During the leadership program I went through, every [...]

AEDM Day 16: The Exploding Box

November 16, 2008

Today’s creation: the “exploding box.”  After seeing my Unfolding Your Life Vision collage books and my collaged dream boxes, a lady launcher made me one of these surprising structures since she knew I would appreciate it.  I love how the box is simple yet complex. And that it unfolds! I tried to follow a pattern [...]

AEDM Day 15: Anger

November 15, 2008

The night was going along so well.  Made dinner and was having a mellow evening just vegging out with Brian.  Catching up on some TV and actually not working on a weekend.  Next thing I know we get into a tiff over something small that of course snowballs into something big.  (Funny, I think it [...]

AEDM Day 11: What I Love About Me

November 11, 2008

Tonight’s art is inspired by my week four question to Kate and Molly on the sisters’ blog Kiss The Paper.  This week’s prompt is “What do you love most about you?” as a follow up to last week’s prompt “What do you love most about your sister?”  It’s been so cool to witness the amazing [...]
