Description:

I have these ideas in my head. And I end up not doing them because of ... to little time .. too little motivation ... putting things off ... you know what I mean.

Let's motivate each other!!

1st step

Each participant will write in the comment section 1 art project (big or small) s/he would like to do, always wanted to try. Maybe some want to try the same thing and can help each other out, share some inspiration. If you cannot decide on one, then either make up your mind before sign up deadline or ask around. I will drop users who have not set their art goal prior to assigning partners

2nd step

You will finish this art project and then take pictures of it. Either scan it (if possible) or take a good picture with your camera. But please pay attention that you can see it well, maybe take two or three with detail shots?

This is about your art and your motivation so obviously you can do whatever you like.

3rd step

Then, after finishing, send your partner a picture via email. (This is then for rating)

I encourage all participants to comment and criticise, as this is never meant to be personal, but to give us another point of view on our art. It is so easy to get lost in detail and forget the overall picture.

We now have a facebook group. You need to be approved, but all of you can join :) Even if you skip a month or two, come join and see all the others work.

I encourage everybody to do this. Even if you might not be completely happy with the outcome, maybe others can give you useful tipps on how to improve!

https://www.facebook.com/groups/1580705518810888/

For those who don't use facebook but still would like to share their work with the rest of the group I will gladly add them for them. But this is always optional of course :)

Since this includes no sending/receiving physical mail, I will allow all users, but yet reserve the right to ban if you seem to bail on this project.

I had the idea for this swap, because I find it easier to motivate myself to do more of what I always put up till another time if others join me in a "deadline".

Examples of projects:

  • Make a picture in a particular style (maybe a new one??)

  • Let's say you like to draw and always wanted a to start/finish a series, then you could say: "I will draw 3 pictures in this style to add to this series"

  • Design a set of ... ATCs, Greeting Cards, playing cards, a calendar, etc.

  • Learn a new technique and in this case show us your examples, steps and improvement

  • You could say "I want to sketch something every day" and then show us all your amazing artwork

  • Maybe your crafts are a little bigger, like a new piece of furniture?

  • Sculpt, sew, paint .... ANYTHING you have always wanted to do and never did ;)

I hope you now know what I mean.

Hope some will join, and please, ANY craft is welcome.

March: Create a fantasy alphabet I can use for my probably never-to-be comic :X

My March goal will be the same as February's: to create two pieces of jewelry (for a second display case I bought since I filled the first one) and to create one work of art for my show in October.

My goal is to work on my ongoing photo series. To that end, I'm going to aim for three rolls of 120 film shot and three prints by the deadline.

I am going to learn the cracked glass technique: http://www.splitcoaststampers.com/resources/tutorials/cracked_glass/
I want to make several ATC's and perhaps a rolo using the technique.

This month I would like to push myself to work on my crochet "ocean waves" blanket. I started it two years ago, and it has been on standby since I got halfway through it... So back to my hook I go, before it gets too warm to crochet blankets ;-)

Make a little more progress on comic creation: develop look for two main characters, draw one strip of 3-4 frames.

cickly 02/28/2015 #

I would like to do some art work/illustrations involving pressed flowers. A bit of an experiment!

emmalouiise91 02/28/2015 #

the last one again ! My idea for this months DMAP is to draw more objects in a simplified way. I'm doing this because I always think I want to draw something like I dunno a caravan and I see how simply done someone else has done it and want to simplify and draw it in my own way. I hope you understand that haha

JessRoussos 02/28/2015 #

I want to make two beaded roses.

MsKuky 03/ 4/2015 #

I want to learn to work with gesso, and do more modeling clay projects.

@justine13 I went ahead and clicked that I sent this even though I no longer can since the swap is closed and I don't have your email address. If/when you come back to Swap-bot I'd be happy to actually email you for this swap.
