Time for the September Art Off Challenge, which I Time for the September Art Off Challenge, which I co-host with @makesharerepeat .

The theme for September is Sashiko. Sashiko is traditional Japanese embroidery involving beautiful patterns of stitches. It's used both for decoration and for visible mending. You can go literal with the challenge and find a Sashiko pattern you'd like to stitch, or you can simply take inspiration from the art form and use it in a different media.

What is an Art Off? It's an opportunity to push boundaries and challenge ourselves to create based on a theme.

Here's how it works:
1. Create a project incorporating the theme. You can share sneak peeks but save the final reveal until the end of the month.
2. Art can take all forms, so don't feel limited by traditional mediums. Use your creativity and imagination to create something you love that connects to the theme.
3. Post your final piece between September 27-30. Tag @makesharerepeat and @indigo_whimsy and the hashtags #artoffchallenge #makercircle
4. Feel free to comment and like posts by your fellow art off artists.

The winner of the challenge is all of us, because we get to challenge ourselves to create and be inspired by other artists. Creating in a community is fun and inspiring!

Day 9 of the #inchiechallenge. Fern. Truth? I've g Day 9 of the #inchiechallenge. Fern. Truth? I've gone totally off the rails. I fell behind, caught up, forgot to post, lost an inchie (!), fell behind again, and generally went amuck. Now I'm posting out of order. It's fine... my art is one area of my life that I'm not interested in overregulating, but the chaos is making me laugh. 

We're on vacation in Maine, but I was able to hunt down some fern-like plants and do some gel printing on the fly.

Making and Giving the Gift of Fun

Vision Board Workshop Info

 

These are the supplies and printouts you’ll want to have on hand for the workshop. There are affiliate links below in case you choose to shop with Amazon (we make a small amount on each purchase), but you can buy your supplies locally and/or use what you have at home.

Virtual Kit Digital Files (right click on the links to save them):

Please print the following if you are able:

  • Inspiration words
  • Mask [Note: Feel free to cut the outline of the mask, but I suggest you leave the eyes intact. You may want to either cut this out of cardboard or place the mask on a cardboard backer.]
  • Circle time activity

 

Masks:
The print and cut template (above) will be just fine , but if you want to buy something, we recommend the Creativity Pulp Mask or similar that doesn’t have cut-out eyes. Paper masks will be easier than plastic. They typically retail for ~$2-3 each. That said, do not overthink this. You just need a mask shape and can always work around cut-outs, etc.
Here are a few Amazon options (affiliate links). They are overpriced and you’ll need to keep an eye on shipping time.

Required Supplies:

  • PVA Glue (white glue – you can also use decoupage medium)
  • Scissors and/or a craft knife
  • Two disposable (or non-food) cups/bowls
  • Foam or glue brush – you can also use your fingers if you don’t mind getting messy
  • Hand-outs, ideally printed out
  • A few extra sheets of paper
  • A pen or pencil – multiple colors would be nice
  • Paper towels and/or wipes
  • At least a few of the art supplies below

Recommended:

  • Something to protect your work surface
  • Markers or Watercolor paints
  • Thin-tipped waterproof pen (like a thin Sharpie)
  • Thin, colorful paper (tissue, crepe, handmade, etc.)

Totally Optional:

  • Crayons
  • Old/scrap Magazines
  • Scraps of fabric and fun papers
  • Lace, ribbon, yarn
  • Needle and thread/embroidery thread
  • Hole punch(es)
  • Rubber stamps w/pigment ink
  • Beads, buttons, rhinestones, gems, etc.
  • Alcohol inks
  • Acrylic paint
  • Hot glue gun
  • Craft knife
  • Any of your other favorite art/craft supplies

Preparation:

  • If you want your mask to have a background color, I suggest painting it in advance so the mask has time to dry.
  • Think a bit about what your goals are – what will your vision board be about? We’ll spend a bit of time on that, but it may help to have a general idea… work, family/relationships, personal growth, health, creativity, etc. You can also just keep it general if you don’t have a specific direction.
  • Water down glue, if using, with 3 parts glue to 1 part water – place it in one of the bowls/cups. If you don’t have a separate craft glue handy, save some of the PVA for adding embellishments
  • Add clean water to the second bowl/cup for washing brushes, fingers, etc.
  • Gather your tools/supplies
  • Protect your work surface and clothes, as needed
  • Try to find a quiet spot, turn off phones and notifications, put a do not disturb sign on your door (or your back), and be ready to focus on just yourself for a little while.

 

Please note:

This is a casual, fun, playful workshop. You should feel free to take breaks, run and grab a supply you forget, etc. You can share what you’re thinking and working on, or keep it to yourself. We’ll each have a different journey!
