Thing-a-day is a yearly creative sprint where, every year in February, participants commit to creating one new thing a day and post it on a collective blog. 2010 was thing-a-day's fourth edition and the first to run on Posterous. We're gearing up for 2011 so come back mid-January for more updates!

The birdie needle case I made earlier in the month got such a positive response I wanted to make more to sell on Etsy. Today I got around to making a cheerful felt rainbow needlebook.

I've always loved art where people tear up books and make designs using the pages. I grabbed a book off the library "for sale" shelf and created this night skyline scene with sharpies. It's all about guys and girls and New York nights.

Today I received some new ring blanks I purchased recently. I was very excited to make some paper wrapped spiral rings, like the pendants I've made and had success with before. They will take about 24 hours to harden and then if everything goes well, I'll be adding them to my Etsy shop.
Once they were all assembled, I was so thrilled with the circle ones that I almost gasped at how beautifully they came out.

I'm being an earlybird with my thing today: Gocco printed envelopes! I had been wanting to make a design to print on my mailers for when I send out my Etsy orders, and I decided on a friendly little bluebird bringing happy mail. The blank "letter" is where I will put the address.

I've been wanting to play around more with felt and this ice cream cone idea came to me today. It's made of felt, hand stitched, lightly stuffed with a pin on the back. If you're gonna get ice cream on your clothes, this is the way to do it!

For my first thing-a-day for February 2010, I tweaked a collage art piece I had done a while back and ended up printing some cards from it. Available here: http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=39808032
