ICAD 2013 - June and July

Today I found out about a new form of practising and working on creativity - ICAD  This is Index Card A Day, from Daisy Yellow and I will be attempting to follow along every day throughout June and July! Only a few months ago, the very idea of trying to create something new every day would have filled me with horror, now I can't wait to get started :-)  I have so many ideas and have already created the first card as the 'front page' for my 61 days....

Learning to be creative

So where do I start? My new explorations into my own personal creativity started in February this year when I joined Julie Gibbon's Great Round of Mandala course and I was quickly hooked on Mandalas as a form of self-discovery.  What I wasn't expecting was how quickly I would start to produce pieces of art that were all completely different - and that came directly from my subconscious.  The more I 'get myself out of the way', the more easily the art flows!
