I have decided to make a commitment to my shop. I was looking for
a resolution ambition something purposeful. Then I saw
this artist's post about doing an illustration each week for her shop. The problem, though, is that I'm not very good at keeping long term project commitments. A fifty-two week project, for me, is waaaay more doable than anything 365. I'm pretty sure a daily project will never happen. So, for now, this project will help me flex my responsibility muscle, and is really a good plan for me so that I keep brainstorming and sketching. But, I know I need to do a couple things to keep myself accountable: 1) I have to tell someone--that's you guys! 2) I have to organize and keep my ideas for new creations in one place. So, I found and old notebook and jazzed up the cover with washi tape...
I will sketch all my ideas here. Each week, I will pick a sketch and felt something new. For Week 1, I made my own version of a puffer fish.
And here is the
finished, wooly product!
As each week's creation is finished, I'll post it in my
shop, and it will be 25% off until the next week's creation is revealed.
Hopefully, this project will help me hone my skills and grow as a felter.
Time to sketch for next week! Any requests?
Cute! What a great idea!
ReplyDeleteHm, you've already made an Inga.... Maybe a baby seal? A sloth? :)
A cupcake!!!
ReplyDeleteI love your puffer fish! I have been wanting to do a 52 project. The closest I ever came to every day was blogging every day for the month of November...that was really tough, so I know a 365 project is way too ambitious for me. But I think I should try to do a 52 project. You are inspiring me. :)
ReplyDeleteAn everyday project would be sooo tough, even for just one month--so congrats on that! :) 52 weeks seems more attainable, for sure--I hope you try it!
