As you most likely know, I am a huge advocate of making art every day. It doesn't have to be a big time commitment, but it makes a big difference. Here's a quick video about that philosophy:
And here is the video I referenced in my "creativity chat" — enjoy:
Finally, here is a peek at the apron I'm wearing in the video.
I made it using a combination of heat transfer vinyl, gelatin printed fabric (with fusible), and a commercial print I stitched on to create a pocket.

Loved watching 7 days in your journal unfold – going from an almost blank spread to a finished one. I need to buy some red (really red) paint – not my go to color but it has so much impact.
Thanks to you daily practice is part of my world and has been for a long time.

Perfect post for me. On January 1,2018, I started creating everyday. This past Sunday, after 1016 days, I came so close to stopping. I create at night and Sunday I was so tired! But, I decided to bring a journal & markers to bed. Within a few minutes I made a page of my “go to circles” in a new journal & Stabilo markers. Now, I think I have a new project … fill the little journal with my circles and use different markers/inks each day.

Love this, thanks. I’m still having trouble writing. Is what I have to say important? I guess it is if it’s just for me… I was thinking of writing lyrics of songs that I love.

Love the peaks into your journals. Yes, because of what you have said over the years, even if I spend 10 minutes doing something in my studio even to gesso a page, I no longer look at is as non productive! Thank you!!

Loved that apron, girl!
This would be a great practice for me, just the act of doing it daily, the commitment of keeping that up every every day….that in and of itself would be a huge step. At least COVID has given me time – to create new classes online for my community college, to spend more time in my studio….but to do just 10 minutes of art for myself. Wow. Now that’s something to experience everyday.
