For the months of June and July, I am creating a work of art on an index card through Daisy Yellow Art. I participated last year and found it to be an incredibly helpful way to stay creative during the summer months. The process is simple, create a work of art on a 3″x5″ index card and post it to the Daisy Yellow ICAD Facebook group. I’ve also posted each index card to my Instagram account @jenniferrodgersart. Posting to social media has been a great way for me to stay motivated and have accountability to myself. It’s also been so helpful in terms of getting constructive feedback and encouragement. I also think the small size helps demystify the process of making a work of art each day.
With six days left, I will have created 61 original works of art plus the 61 that I created last year. My dear friend Dee Collins of 27th Street Press suggested I cut mats for them and sell them. Before she suggested this, I hadn’t thought about what to do with all of these little works of art. Ideally, I’d like to exhibit all 122 together before I sell any of them. So off to her house I went and we cut a bunch of mats to get this process underway. Here we are having lunch in downtown Bethlehem, PA.
The index card I made for that day is titled On Ralston Road as a thank you to Dee and all of her mat cutting expertise.
