Alt Press Fest!

I've been quite the lazy blogger this past week. I feel like I've got good reasons though. I signed up to table at Alt Press Fest. I'm trying to put together some new zines. I have tons of ideas but not enough time! Getting the stomach flu last week did not help one bit. But its down to the wire now! Only one weekend left! If you're in the Salt Lake area you can come see me and Zoei and pick up some zines! Theres a ton of really cool artists and independent publishers that'll be there. You can find more information HERE or THERE!

I'm really nervous and anxious and excited! I promise I'll be better at taking photos this time and posting some of the new zines I'm working on. Hopefully I can get them finished!

Index Cards 1-10

Here are my index cards days one though ten as part of the Index-Card-A-Day Challenge! I've been doing pretty good at keeping up on doing a card a day. Although some of the cards I'm not too happy with, but I think thats part of it. Its a good way to just move onto the next card! This first batch had an orange vibe to it. I think they'll look cool once I compile them. I'll post another batch soon!

Desk Findings: New Tools!

I was cleaning off my desk and found some things I wanted to share! I love all of these little bits!
1-Tomoe River Kanso Sasshi Booklet. I love looooove Tomoe River paper! So when I saw this I just had to get them. I've been wanting to do more sketching and these will be perfect!
2-Pilot Color Eno Mechanical Pencil. I saw an artist doing sketches with a blue pencil and I LOVED them! Naturally I got myself a blue pencil and I love it.
3-Reeves Water-soluble Wax Pastels. I have a whole set these and they are so lovely! My all time favorite color is dark grey. Its kinda blue kinda grey and goes great on everything!
4- Rose Gold Wire Binder Clips. I have another confession. I saw these clips on instagram in someones art journal and I fell in love! When I saw them on blitsy I just had to snag them up!

Index-Card-A-Day Challenge!

I'm not sure what I was thinking tacking on yet another project but I just loved the idea so much that I couldn't pass it up! The idea is that for 2 months you art-up an index card each day. Its put on by the lovely Daisy Yellow art blog! You can read all about the project HERE! I started a little bit late but have almost caught up. There are some prompts and what nots to help. So far I've just been doing whatever. Its only just the beginning but I'm really loving it! I'm surprised how easy and quick it is! This isn't a project that takes a lot of time or planning. You just grab a card and start layering stuff on. I love that aspect! All the projects I usually work on take a bit of planning and sketching. Its a really nice break to work on index cards. I can start and finish it before I get working on my other projects!

Anyways I'm really excited about this project! Its the prefect thing to keep me out of a creative slump! If you do participate remember to use the hashtag #dyicad2017 and let me know your instagram name in the comments so I can see your cards!!
