Pretend Art
I love these two sites....
JacksonPollock.org easily lets you create colorful paintings like the famed artist the app was named after. It couldn't be easier, the width is determined by the speed you move your mouse, and change the color with a simple click. The three year old at work LOVES this.
This one is called the Scribbler and was created by ZeFrank.com. Make a simple line drawing then turn the "scribbler" on. Mine was this little snail. You can change colors, line width and transparency. And this site rocks with other interactive toys like Snowflake, Puppets (he dances to Beastie Boys), and Build Yer Own (you create your own digital Kaleidescope).
All time wasters, for sure, but fun.

WE: Where is your heart?
Read about the Weekend Exposure Project and play along.
Don't forget to post your link in the commnets once yours is up. We cannot share as a community if we do not know you are there.
What's with the three-six-five?
Everywhere I look there are 365 projects. Each day a new self portrait, piece of artwork, a list, a favorite song. I know why I am drawn to them and imagine there are others who participate that share my view. My needs to sustain my life:
1. Food & Water
2. Breath
3. Love
4. Creativity
There is beauty in the commitment to doing something creative for myself each day. That's one reason I started my Weekend Exposure Project (okay, I know that's weekly) and why I was instantly drawn to the Grace in Small Things project. It thrills me each day and week I get to sit down and and ask my heart what wants to come out.

I'll close it off with todays list of grace:
1. a stroke of serendipity that knows no distance.
2. getting "lost" and realizing that it's always when I am lost that I am found.
3. sending off surprises.
4. laughing outloud.

Here are two other 365/52 projects that I have come across that I simply adore.
Firstly, The Lunch Box Project. Lisa Ogler is an artist and designer and started this project as an outlet of multiple loves of food, art, and journaling. She posts a little drawing each day inspired by some bit of food that has crossed her path. They are simple and sweet and occasionally funny. My recent favorite being "Strawberry Soup" which I read just before going off to work where I actually saw a box of strawberry soup. Yep.
Copywrite Lisa OrglerSecond, Cassie & Stacy are friends living on opposite coasts creatively staying connected each week by choosing a topic and taking a photo based on this. The results are posted as diptychs on the blog. Some of them complimentary and some contradicting. It is an idea that especially resonates with me since I am so far away from all my friends. They are six weeks in and I can't wait to see what comes up next week for them.
