30 Day Blog Challenge -Creativity

source

I was looking around for a 30 Day Blog Challenge to do, and happened up this one , that is a Creativity Challenge. It seemed a bit more up my alley than the usual 30 Day challenges, so I've decided to give it a go! I'm hoping it will give me a bit of structure for blogging in the next little bit while I'll be a bit busy with other things going on, as well as allow me the chance to share some of my crafty history and background.
Expect my first post later on today!

Day 1: When you were a child, how did you express your creativity?

Day 2: What colors are meaningful to you and why?

Day3: What words or phrases do you find inspiring and why?

Day4: Do some doodling... share it and write about it!

Day 5: What artists do you seek out for inspiration? Create a small something based on your source.

Day 6: How does your living space reflect your creative nature? Share a picture if you can!

Day 7: Relax! Do you relax to create or create to relax?

Day 8: Create a self portrait, draw or photograph yourself. What do you see?

Day 9: Make a list of creative people you are grateful for today.

Day 10: Create something today inspired by nature!

Day 11: Stop and look around you. There is something in this room you've never noticed before. What is it?

Day 12: Look at a child. See how connected they are to their creative self? Pretend you are a child and make something.

Day 13: Try something new! Play today with a new form of art or craft!

Day 14: Make something to give away. Send a card to a friend or make a little gift for someone you care about.

Day 15: Do you like to try new things? What about trying something new do you like or dislike?

Day 16: Do you create best when your emotions are high? Do you turn to creative endeavors when you are sad, angry, or just filled with joy?

Day 17: Sing. Sing a song... make it simple to last your whole life long! How did that feel?

Day 18: Does the way you dress show your creativity? How? If not, why not?

Day 19: Do you keep a creative journal or have an inspiration board? Share!

Day 20: Read a crafty book or blog and write about it or create something inspired by it!

Day 21: Find and photograph one object in your home and create something inspired by it.

Day 22: Take time today to thank your favorite creative people for their talents. Comment on their blogs, Facebook and Twitter.

Day 23: Listen to a favorite song or artist and create something inspired by that music.

Day 24: What is your "Creative Bucket List"? List 12 creative things you want to learn more about.

Day 25: Write a simple Haiku. (5-7-5)

Day 26: Write, draw or paint something with your non-dominant hand.

Day 27: What is the usual theme of your work? If you tend to create joyful, bright and optimistic art, then try to create something somber or dark... or vice versa.

Day 28: Paint with your fingers.

Day 29: Photograph your favorite feature.

Day 30: Make a Creative Tool Kit! Compile your favorite words and phases of inspiration, swatches or fabric and color, drawings and doodles, and images into a little book you can pull out anytime you need to be inspired!

  1. This looks like a great challenge, I really look forward to seeing what you post each day and I think I might join you too! I love the fact that as a reader we will get to find out more about you and your crafting, but it also looks like as the blogger you get the chance to really think about your own crafting and reflect on your passion.
    Have fun.
