Hello Friends,
I hope you are enjoying my daily art squares as much as I’m having fun creating them!
I tried to tell a story in each art square with watercolor or Copic markers and a touch of collage. Sometimes I added a little Micron black pen too.
My stories for September’s square-a-day project are simple, something I did or saw or felt for that day.
I was inspired by the artwork in this book by Roxanne Evans Stout:
I hope you share favorite squares that may inspire you in your own stories…
Cheers! π
P.S. In case you are wondering, square #17, the words say, “Ferris Wheel.” It was the name of a paint sample. I thought it looked like a child’s name. Our local fair occurs in September. π
Excellent idea Jill, I really like your art work. You have inspired me to do the same for October. What size squares did you use ? Cheers Ally πΌπ¦πΊπ

Hi Ally, each square is 1.75 inches by 1.75 inches. I used a paper punch. Iβd suggest you use a size that is comfortable to you. I hope you post what you do, Iβd love to see your art squares!! ππ¨ππΏ

Hi Laura Kate, I am teaching myself mindfulness to help βfreeβ my mind from chronic pain and learn to focus on my breath. The butterfly symbolizes letting go and freedom for me. β€οΈπ¦π¨

Hi Beverly, I look forward to seeing what you create for October! Sometimes it helps me to have a theme or limit my art supplies. So glad I can inspire you! π I also write the date on the back of each card and a few notes. π¨ππ»
