Craft, creativity, goal, knitting, process

I have completed the back and the front panels, and have sewn the shoulders together. Having decided that hoods just get in the way, I plan to knit a few more lines of collar, then leave off the hood (which means I had enough red wool for the pocket which I did in orange instead just in case! Nevermind.)

I am maybe halfway through the first sleeve…

So 1.5 sleeves, a collar and stitching together to go!

Finally I have done the last card for my creative obsession! Wow.

The journey so far is chronicled here.

And so, I present to you… Card 7: Storytellers

And the storytellers weave a web of stardust, taking us full circle through the story that these cards illustrate…

And we are storytellers.

Since I started these cards I’ve done quite a bit, so there is a real sense of something here. The DragonHeartedness of Sunrise Camp, (which was wonderful!) has carried into my life a little bit of determination, a little bit of willpower, and a little bit of courage… and I look over these cards and see, even over a few months, my skill has grown, as has my confidence.

These cards are part of many stories, the story of my life, the story of art, a story for the Fey, the story of magic… and now, also, your story.  I hope they were a happy paragraph… and perhaps, soon, there will be more like this… perhaps I will craft a chapter in these cards.

But Now I go to print them out so I can hold them in my hands and play!

Sketches for My Productive Obsession

Leading on from announcing my plans to finally get going on this story-card combo I’ve been promising myself for years, related to this Fey-themed project, I have completed step 1 – the story…

and now, I bring you, step 2!

Sketches based on the story above, planning the images for the cards. There are only 8, because only part of the deck will be based on this story, and I’ve decided that I want to give myself the chance to succeed so I’ve chosen a managable goal!

These are very rough mind… so with that in mind: enjoy!

Creative Goal

Inspired by this post on Collage Diva I am setting myself a goal.

Tomorrow is my final exam, and this week is full of very important things* so I plan to start next week.

In this case… next week, I will be finally getting round to making that deck of cards based on the Fey that has been playing in my mind for the past few years. It will be created using a story as guidance. This is part of my FeyHearted project, and the cards are intended to be beautiful, an act of devotion and oracular. I also intend to write around each topic the cards are about, leading to much musing!

Step 1. Re-write story.

Step 2. Sketch designs.

Step 3. Start drawing/painting/collaging and writing.

Step 4. Scan and Print each card onto ATC size.

Step 5. Put cards into sleeves and play!

Step 6. Celebrate!!!

And, to keep me on track, I plan to share the process, stage by stage, here.

This is a Challenge for me… will you join me in choosing a creative challenge for yourself? Let me know in a comment so we can do this together!

*Like a job interview, birthday parties, end of degree tea parties, actually spending some time with my neglected sweetheart, organising graduation and living over the summer… and so on.
