Just a little flashback to last year, when I was taking part in a daily pattern painting challenge on Creativebug. I've previously posted about the work I created during the first two weeks, which consisted of traditional and botanical themed patterns. The third week was shape-based patterns, and I wanted to share some of the patterns that I painted here on my blog.

My previous blog post was about a pattern painting challenge I took part in earlier this year through Creativebug. In the first week we focused on traditional patterns. The second week was all about botanical and floral patterns.

Daily pattern painting challenge
I'm a bit of a sucker for a creative challenge, but of course there's never be enough time to take part in every one that comes along. For the last couple of years, though, I've really enjoyed doing Lisa Congdon's January creative challenges on Creativebug - so I was looking forward to this year's edition. In 2016 it was a daily drawing challenge, in 2017 it was a creative boot camp, and in 2018 it was a pattern painting challenge. Yay, right up my alley!

Happy Christmas 2017
Where on earth did 2017 disappear to?? It's Christmas already, I can't believe it!
It's been a bit quiet here for the last couple of months while I've been busy dealing with other areas of my life, but I'm super excited for 2018, and looking forward to creating and sharing more work with you.

Creating index card art
For the last few years, I've participated in an annual creativity challenge called Index-Card-a-Day, or ICAD for short. The challenge takes places over June and July each year, and has a great community spirit to it.
The idea is to create every day in a way that is super accessible and not too precious. I love that the lines on the index cards show through the work to remind me that it's a simple exercise in getting creative, not an attempt to create a lasting work of art :)

Forty days into #The100DayProject
After forty days straight of creating art on the back of business cards, I recently decided to put a hold on #The100DayProject to give myself some breathing room. I've really enjoyed the challenge, but sometimes the timing just gets in the way. I'm looking forward to picking it up again when the stars align a little better :)
