“Of all the strategems, to know when to quit is best.” -Chinese Proverb As summer started, I added completing the Index Card A Day Challenge to my life list. As I spent the spring looking for art journaling and mixed media inspiration, this challenge kept coming up and I was intrigued. The premise was simple--create a piece of art every day for 61 days on a note card. That’s it!
Well, I started and made it through the first 20 days. But then I had a realization--it was becoming a chore rather than a joy. After racking my brain each day for what I could put on the notecard to meet the prompt, I had spent my creative energy for the day. It wasn’t fun anymore. So, what do we do when something isn’t working? We stop. So I did. Here are some of the cards I created--hope you enjoy them. And now I am off to make art that I love instead.
