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!

For the final day of TAD-2010 I wanted to try something different: making a kind of money-box from a plastic jar (an empty box for dog snacks).
Here's the result!
P.S. Thanks a lot, Zebru, for affording me the opportunity of being a part of this year's TAD Team! I enjoyed the experience, it was fun and full of inspiration! Congrats to all the participants!
It's the final day of Thing-A-Day. This month was just sooo busy, and I am gladly welcoming March. If you hear a loud sigh, that would my exhale, letting go of a lot of stress that has built up this winter. I am so excited for spring, and the month to come AND for the madness of to be behind me. Good things are ahead. Very good things. I can feel it :D
I woke up this morning ready for March, and it wasn't until the day was well on it's way that I realized "oops, I still have one more day left for Thing-A-Day". With that in mind, today I present to you another page from my mini book. The left page is cut out of the fabric paper I made a few days ago.
It's been so mad these last few weeks that I honestly haven't even been able to keep up with everyone elses posts. I look forward to doing that this next week. I hope everyone had a very productive and inspired month! I had a great time contributing and completing my third Thing-A-Day. Thanks for following along. ciao!

One thing I've been thinking about this month is how I wish that Thing-a-Day was in the summer, when there was plenty of sunlight and hours to work in daylight after I get home from work.

A day doesn't pass when I don't make something. Often I am working on many, many things each day. I feel bad only getting to only show the "things" I've made within a half hour (per the Thing-a-Day rules this year) and not the works in progress, or completed items that I've been working on over days, weeks, months, etc. So, with that in mind, here is another spread from my mini book. Nothing special. I try not to think it out, but just go.

Today I did a couple more pages in my little book. The left page is covered in metallic blue star stickers and the right is watercolored, then sprinkled with salt for texture. On top of that was silvery glitter pen and pastels in swirls.
When I went to take the picture at first the camera didn't focus. I retook it, but when I saw the blurry one I actually liked it because it kind of went with the dreaminess of the image, so I put them together for a diptych.

Today I made this mixed media wearable art pendant. It's your birthday and here's confetti and the horse you've always wanted.

This last December my sister and I went to the One-of-a-Kind show in Chicago where I purchased the above book. It's a leather covered, mini handbound book with an assortment of encyclopedia pages mixed with quality drawing papers. I'm in love with the book from GreenTrikePress. I've decided to fill the pages with collage and mixed media work.
Here is the first page, that I did today.
