A is for Art (All About Me Blog Challenge) #allaboutme #Lovekate
July 08, 2012
For the first installment of the All About Me Blog Challenge over at Love, Kate's blog, I chose Art to represent the letter A. Art has always been a big part of my life from playing with colouring books or drawing stick figure pictures as a child to writing poems and stories, creating rubber stamped greeting cards, and taking artistic photos as an adult.
Below are a couple of hand stamped cards I made for Thanksgiving and Christmas:
And a few years ago I made a chapbook featuring some of my hand stamped art, photography and writing including short stories, poetry and haiku:
Recently I have been participating in a Photo a Day Challenge hosted by Chantelle from Fat Mum Slim, and while I haven't always managed to take a photo for every topic or theme or whatever you want to call it, I have taken several pretty good shots. I posted 30 of my shots in a 30 Days of Creativity Wrap Up post just the other day. Check 'em out!
I also enjoy viewing other people's art in museums, galleries, in coffee shops, or just on the street.
