Thing-a-day.com

The final day! My last thing is a page from my page a day book. I’m so proud of myself for having posted and done a THING EVERY SINGLE DAY! Okay, so a couple of the days I had to post date them, but only because I didn’t have time to post that night. Each day posted is something that was truly done on that day.

And while making things every single day is part of my every day life, I would say this was quite a challenge to actually make something that is presentable. I am glad that I participated, and proud of myself for sticking to it.

Today, if I wasn’t at work I was at the hospital. My dad was in surgery for 4 hours. (L-R) My sister laying on the hospital bed, my sister in law Dacia in the chair, my brother under the tv, my mom asleep (it was a loooong day) under the blanket, my boyfriend looking my way.

This is all I could muster up tonight. It’s been a long day.

I’ve just finished this banner for my blog. What do you think? Is it horrible? Honest, but constructive criticism please.

Do the colors turn you off? Is it too busy? Unbalanced? Whatever, I’d love to hear.
I’m thinking about changing it up quarterly, so it wouldn’t be permanent. But I don’t want to turn away viewers because my banner turns their stomach, lol.

My first attempt at weaving, more about it here.

A handspun yarn, I’m not sure what kind of wool it is, since I’ve lost the tags long ago.

And another photo collage, this time a self portrait.

White on white study, in my page a day book.

From my page a day. See the collection so far here.

I finally caught a short video of my house rabbit, Theo, doing a soft bunny flop. You’ll never know how difficult it was to capture. Equally difficult…figuring out how to embed this video. 

some knitting I started tonight. Yarn is a plyed, hand dyed and handspun yarn. It’s so skinny it’s almost threadlike.

Created this page tonight and then scanned a bunch more and added them here.

Today I made two more pairs of book earrings. These are handbound with sewn signatures and cover papers. I am going to add them to my etsy, probably tomorrow.

Another Artomat painting based on a collage. Done in acrylic on a miniature canvas I built. See more here.

This is one of several paintings I did today for my artomat series. Paintings I contribute to artomat are always on miniature canvases that I build myself. This series is based on collages I first did in my sketchbook. I spend an embarrasing amount of time on each painting, especially considering that they are each sold for $5. I’ve been working on this particular series over a year. Here is a sketchbook page of some of the other collages from which I did paintings already. You can see more about me and my artwork on my website. Please parden my blog, it is currently under construction, so looks really jacked up.

Last minute thing for the day. I plyed two super thing yarns I’ve spun and have been sitting on bobbins for months.

-robyn

Today I didn’t even use the scratch paper to do a little sketch and instead just drew on myself.

-robyn

It’s not yet even 9 p.m. and I’m already spent for the day. All I have to show is this little 30 second sketch I did while at work on scratch paper. I have no energy for a project tonight. It’s taking all my energy to scan this sketch and post here, but I MUST post daily, and now I will be able to rest easy knowing I didn’t miss a day.

So tie-tie, big yawn.

I finished the merino handspun yarn. It was spun on my spinning wheel (a lendrum).

With another finished yarn, comes another photo collage, with said yarn.

I got a fisheye camera last week. These are a couple of the pictures I got developed today.
