Yes, it’s been awhile since I’ve posted an Art Challenge so what better way of kicking off the New Year than throwing another one out there. I will add the caveat that my posted challenges might be a bit more sporadic than last year mainly because of this my time will be rather …erm… occupied. But I will try!
The above was the postcard created from the very first Art Challenge in January of 2008. I love the intent and this year’s first challenge will follow very closely in spirit.
Challenge #1 – Word Self-Portrait
- Create a postcard that embodies your 2009 Word along with a self-portrait … maybe how you feel while doing or living your word. Or perhaps the goal that your word brings to mind.
- Post a link to your postcard here in the comments below.
- If you’d like to exchange postcards … and I would, I really REALLY would! … either include your mailing address within your post (I’ll delete that portion of your comment) OR email it to me and I’ll send you one of mine.
DUE DATE: January 31, 2009
Last year I was lucky enough to have a few of you exchange their postcards with me and they’re still on my fridge. I’d love to cover that sucker from top to bottom! Oh. My word for the year? SHINE. Based on that kiddy ditty, “This Little Light of Mine” … watch out world. Prepare to be BLINDED! Can’t wait to see what y’all come up with. Ready … Set … CHALLENGE!
Here is the link to mines…I feel kind of meh about it but yet I like it…*shrugs* go figure

Awesome self-portrait Sheba. And what a great word to live by!
Sorry to have missed the challenge this month. Catch you at the next one!
Carla, no worries. Frankly. I still haven't finished mine. Ooops!
I stumbled across your website also from one of my favorite art links and my word for this year is Experiment and so I shall with this. I'm kinda late but I still have some time. Woo hoo! This is very awesome
By the way…Hi, I'm Cina.
Welcome Cina! And I can't wait to see your self-portrait. Thanks for joining in the Challenge!
Ah girl. You have your hands full. I know. But I appreciate you're popping in! xoxo

Hello
I somehow found my way to your blog today and decided to take up your challenge. Thanks for kicking me into colourful action as I don't play and draw often enough. What happened with my Sharpies is here
Thanks for dropping by Taexalia and kudos for jumping on board the Challenge wagon. I love what you did with it!
Ok, here's my attempt.

Excellent interpretation Rebecca! Now can we swap – once I get mine finished that is!
It wouldn't be the holidays if sickness didn't arrive with the snow LOL!
LOVE the Fen Bots. They are awesome!!
Mary
I'm there!
"Sporadic" works for me…I'm more likely to keep up then!
LOL Thanks for the edit Cynjon. I actually saw that typo and meant to correct it but then you wouldn't have been moved to respond now would you?!?
I think my word for the year is going to be 'adventure'. I am determined to have more adventures! To get out there and do more things! Wish me luck with this
.
I would love to participate in this. I will send you a quick e-mail once i have this done.
Great word choice Dale. Looking forward to seeing your pc and have complete faith you'll allow for more adventure in your life this year!
Cool, one of my resolutions is to join more challenges, so off we go!
Awesome grrl! Can't wait to see what you come up with!
so amazing that this is your challenge since this is exactly what I am already working on! but my first one is NOT postcard size, however, I am also not happy with it right now…. so maybe attempt #2 can be postcard size~ Will let you know if I am able to trade.
Ah! Great minds think alike … and fools seldom differ! LOVE what you did with your word in fabric. Please post it!
