My Art 365 challenge

Every day for a year starting March 24, 2010, I have challenged myself to create a piece of art.

SPOILER WARNING

Rhonda's Art 365 Challenge

I like to crochet

I taught myself how to crochet out of a library book when I was about 10 years old. I started out making potholders and scarves, worked my way up to blankets and wraps, and most recently have been obsessed with Amigurumi.

owl amigurumi

I made this little fella for my boyfriend, who keeps it in his car. He calls it The Navigator. It was my very first Amigurumi, and I wasn't really happy with parts of the face, but my boyfriend thinks it is awesome so I guess that's all that matters!

I adore steampunk assemblage.

I've been designing jewelry since elementary school. Over the years, it has evolved into a style of found object assemblage, which lends itself nicely to steampunk.

steampunk necklace

I made this necklace out of a broken watch and other random bits from a box of broken costume jewelry. The key I found laying on a curb when I was walking down the street one day.

I like to swap postcards.

I love sending and receiving postcards. I usually go for handmade postcard swaps, but also do a lot of general postcard swaps. I usually prefer my cards mailed naked, but I do also enjoy a good envie full of nifty cards that I can send on to other people as well.

Things I like in postcards:

  • Handmade cards
  • Ad cards, especially for art gallery showings and cards from other countries
  • Interesting scenes
  • Photography
  • Artwork
  • Animals
  • The stranger, the better!

Wishlist

  • Anything handmade
  • Interesting paper ephemera for collage (ads, maps, vintage whatnots)
  • Blank postcards, especially non-touristy ones
  • Cute fabric
  • Kawaii anything
  • Oriental-themed items
  • ATCs
  • Steampunk jewelry and whatnots, or things I can use to make steampunk crafts
  • Cute little toys and rings from gumball machines

Comment: I never received anything for this swap and as her other two partners haven't rated her (why not!?) I have to assume she never made/sent any ATCs.
