These socks were a gift from my sister. Inspired by this post by dyslexia, I decided to use the cute valentines socks my sister gave me as arm warmers as well. I like them better as cuffs. I simply cut and hemmed the end.
This was a wall dividing screen that I purchased nearly a decade ago. I never did anything with it. I was even going to sell it in a garage sale I’m having in a few months, but I got the idea for this I guess about a week ago and things changed.
I’m quite happy with it. It should be nice to face when I do yoga.
For day 11, I will play with calligraphy pens.
Oh boy, did I ever bite off more than I could chew today, even with it being a Saturday!
I neglected to mention that before I could print and frame, I would have to research imagery and design the 15 inserts.
Needless to say - incomplete, however all 15 pieces are now designed. This is a sampling of the centerpiece.
Therefore, for day 10, I will do what I said I would today - print and frame the pieces.
a friend of mine left her journal at my house so i added a couple of things to her wonderful collection of thoughts and drawings and meditations (she permitted me to read it, so it’s okay).
i gave her a quote that inspired my thing-a-day name, and i will share it with you too:
You are an infinite event. You think you end here, at your skin? You think this is you? You think you will be reincarnated? No. You are an event stretching out, out, out. You are an event without end. Isn’t that beautiful?
As I started my Planned Thing ludicrously late, I’ve decided to put it off until tomorrow. In the meantime, here’s a substitute Mike-made Thing - a handy web app to give you a few ideas when you’re running low. Enjoy!
Oh, thing-a-day, I have not foresaken thee. I’ve just been busy makin’ and doin’ and procrastinatin’ at putting up pictures. Here’s a catch up of my productivity thus far:
Day 1: Made a list of prompts for the remainder of the month. (Warning, that link is to a three-page PDF.)
Day 2: Decorated an inspiration jar (see above) for said prompts.
Day 3: Made a low-rent version of a light tent/diffuser per Strobist’s instructions.
Day 4: Try out light diffuser and take photos of various projects thus far, including a memory book I made for a family member.
This has been a lot of fun and really pushed me to make things that have long been on my to-do list (I originally book marked that Strobist link in December 2006, for example!).
More photos of my inspiration jar and other fun with my light tent are in my Flickr photostream.
