Art Talk Tuesday


As an artist I'm always looking for inspiration and places to showcase my work. Art challenges fit the bill for both. They often have themes and a forum for displaying artwork to a large audience.

The Index Card a Day art challenge starts June 1st and runs thru July 30th. Each day you make a piece of art on a 3'x5' index card. This challenge has the artist working every day and it's a chance to try out ideas, products or new tequnequs.

If you are not sure where to start, or just plain have no ideas, Tammy at Daisy Yellow will have prompts and inspiration posted daily. After you complete your master piece it's time to share. Daisy Yellow has three options, place your work on it's home site, Face Book page or Flickr group. You can do all three!  ( you can jump into the challenge anytime after June 1st. This is for FUN, no pressure!)
