Whoa! Am I behind in sharing! I have 3 posts in the works. But I have been struggling to keep up with the 30 day challenge. Busy days, and very little time to sit and paint. Staying up late has not been the solution it usually is. I have painted just about as many horrible abstracts, as you see paintings here. Working in pairs or threes, hoping for at least one good something to post for the day. Still ticking, though. 😉
Here they are. The month so far. All a combination of watercolor, digital collage, poetry, or music. Patterns, and sometimes pen. Below are close ups. You may still have to zoom in to see finer details. You can see them individually on Instagram.
Our Spoonflower assignment this week is a Monochrome Duvet. Last week I designed a warm pink duvet. Light and soft. This week I went dark. Referencing classic Chinese elements, with modern simplicity. Rows of uneven “egg” dots add interest and visual texture.
The collection includes variations of the main design. A nature inspired print, stripes, and solids all compliment one another.
Voting is now open, until the 29th. Thanks so much for taking the time to look. 🙂
What other colors would you suggest for this design? Neutrals? Greens? Black and white? Maybe a red white and blue version? I appreciate your opinions. I have a quilting friend who said she could happily put this to use for that purpose. What are your favorite colors for bedding?
Our 30-Day Creative Gathering is an informal gathering of creators. Just paint each day in September. Or sketch, or take a photo. Do you crochet? Work with wood? We welcome all levels, all mediums.
Creating each day does not have to mean completing a finished piece. Work in progress is welcome! You can choose to follow a theme, experiment with new tools, use a new palette. Or not. At the end of the month, each artist will create a collage of their works. If you have not done that before, we can help.
Gathering together gives us the opportunity to connect with others, make new friends, and cheer each other on.
Help us spread the word! It’s OK to start late. It’s OK to participate even if you will not be able to do all 30 days. Hope to see you there!
This is an opportunity to REVIVE or REINVENT your daily art practice. Is there a new medium you would like to try? Or new materials you’ve been wanting to explore? Maybe life has been pulling you away from your creative pursuits. This can be a nudge back to creating.

Gathering together allows the opportunity to connect with others, make new friends, and cheer each other on. Please remember to be respectful and kind. Set aside some time each day, or each week, to visit other artists, and chat (comment) with members .
It’s OK to start late. It’s OK to participate even if you will not be able to do all 30 days. The only rule in the group is to post your work in the daily album.
Feel free to visit the group for a peek. Click on Media, then Albums, to view the art that was created each day.
