Dream. Be Inspired. Create. Challenge One



Not sure what is going on, check this out first!


Today, there are 2 challenges:

First:
I challenge you to take one photo each day. Take the photo of whatever you would like. You can take it each day out your kitchen window, of your child, or pet, of something that represents what you are doing that day... Just take a photo!

Second:
Think about what inspires you.

Music?

Words?

Photos?

Color?

People?

What else?

Do not limit yourself! Document those things that inspire you by writing a story or memory, drawing pictures, sketching, listing words, painting it out... whatever you would like... BE CREATIVE with it!

If nothing comes to mind... that is okay. We all have those days.

Here are a few things to try...

looking around your house - - -
- - - go on a walk
call up a good friend or family member - - -
- - - day dream

You will find something!


I'm also participating each day!
Here is what I came up with for each of the challenges!

My Photo today:



Here is what inspires me:



and a close up:


I'm a visual person, so I started with a piece of white paper and just starting documenting what inspires me! I cut, I torn, I used adhesive... What I found was that (even though not great at it) I like to create shapes and drawings to describe my thoughts.
