After my friend sent me a series of postcards with themes to complete (see previous posts for my efforts), we have agreed to move onto a new collaboration of Creative Joyful Things (I thought “Art Challenges” sounded a bit too much like hard work!).
As is it September, I thought we could pretend to be on a very, very part-time art course over the course of the year and perhaps meet up next summer to share portfolios!
The plan is that I will make up and send her a Creative Joyful Thing to undertake in her own time, and I shall do it too, then when we have both finished we will send each other pictures of what we have done! This way we will both be independently working on a similar thing and not influencing each other, so we will see different takes on an idea/project. Once we are both done, we will move on to the next one. Here is our starting point:
Creative Joyful Thing No.1
*Shoot a roll of film/series of digital photos on a theme*
Themes:
- Texture or pattern
- A colour of your choice
- Wabi Sabi (not sure yet what this is exactly
but it seems like the in-thing!) - Noise – can you make me hear things when I
look at your pictures? - Silhouettes
- Your choice – Something else that you want to
explore!
Enjoy!
We have both chosen a different theme – not telling YOU what they are yet though! Will post my work up here, and maybe hers too if she agrees.
If anyone wants to play along with us - please do! I am planning on making each thing very different from the last, so hold onto your hats!

What a brilliant idea! Wish I was up to joining in immediately. I have a book about Wabi Sabi But not actually read it yet.
It’s wonderful to see your creative drive and a sense of impetus, however slowly you have to approach things. I look forward to seeing the results very much!Xx

I’m not sure what Wabi Sabi is either…:) Amy, maybe when you’ve read your book you can tell us a bit about it…
Thanks for the invite to join you in ‘Creative Joyful Thing’… I’ll let you know how I get on…
