I read Design Sponge, and had been seeing the ad for months, when extreme thirst and a (correct) hunch that I had failed to lock my door woke me up in the middle of the night. I started poking around online and saw the ad. Again. And that the deadline had been extended. And signed up.
This makes me one of the 28727 folks from 94 countries doing this.
A few days ago, I got the sketchbook in the mail and have been thinking ever since of different ways to fill it. Each participant chooses a theme for his/her contribution. The theme I chose was “And then there were none.” My brain has been crackling with ideas ever since, which was sort of the point. I feel all askance and ungrounded when I’m not generating a bunch of ideas. Lately, I have been spending a lot of time learning to dance a bunch of dances which has taken a fair amount of the time I would have otherwise been exploring behind the craters and crannies in my brain.
I have had an on again, off again relationship with creating art. I always like it when I’m doing it, and miss it when I’m not. I have wanted to make this relationship more constant, but this can be a challenge to do and also have a sense of balance, which is very important to me. But maybe this project will jump start something. I hope it will.
This is such a neat project! I’m sure something will come to you.
