koru #8 and 8.5
sweets
Sometimes something that seems like a good idea in your head just doesn't translate to the plate. Luckily, it tasted good.
Berkeley Farms whipped light cream atop Namaste Foods gluten-free spice cake from mix (taken December 28, 2010 at 9:11 p.m.).
Still, I wasn't really happy with the way it turned out, so I decided to try out another idea.

I came up with the spiral idea after trying other koru shapes.

misty morning tree fern
cyathia cooperii, Canon PowerShot SD1100 IS, through window using flash (taken December 25, 2010 at 8:47 a.m.). And no, it wasn't misty at all, but I love the way the window flash makes it look all foggy.

catching up
Between my sudden apartment move and the holidays, I managed to miss only four days. The rest are neatly recorded inside my camera. Expect an influx soon.

behind in posting but not making/taking
Thanks to a flood in my apartment Saturday evening, I am behind in posting my daily korus, but I'm still up to date on the challenge. It may take a few days for me to get everything online, but hope to be caught up again soon.

And so it begins...
I have been thinking about the 365: Make Something Every Day project ever since I saw it come up on Facebook a couple of weeks ago. I love a good project. Especially one that helps get my stagnant creativity moving again.
Now, I'm not much of an artist. I'm a writer by trade. But that just felt like all the more reason to try and exercise a different part of my brain -- and body actually, as art, even more than writing, is a physical act. All I had to do was figure out what I wanted to commit the next 365 days to. A medium like photography or quilting? A topic like sustainability or love? A theme like skulls or clouds? I even made idea lists because that's the kind of girl I am (too bad there isn't a 365: list something every day project). At any rate, it was all starting to stress me out, so I figured the right idea would come to me and when it did, I'd get started. And it did, the night before last at 3:30 or so a.m. when I woke up, looked across the dark room and saw my glass koru statue sitting on the dresser.
Since that moment my head has been spilling ideas like waterfalls: sketches, photos, embroidery, sculpture... a whole world in a few spare lines. Which brings us to now: Day One.
