January is Over (So Far I’m One for One)

I started a new art journal on January 1st.  This new year I planned on creating a calendar each month to help with my quest of journaling everyday.  Shortly after creating my January calendar, I happened upon Kate from The Kathryn Wheel.  She is an amazing artist from the UK.  Her work is so inspiring to me.  As is happens, she posts a calendar challenge.  Each month, calendars that have been created are posted to her site using a linky thing so others can view all the posted artwork.  I excitedly threw my hat in the ring for this challenge.

Full on art journaling everyday did not happen (like that was a surprise), but keeping up with the calendar in the journal was a small way of journaling when I didn’t have time for a complete page. 

Here is this month’s calendar.  I love the calendars on Kate’s page and I plan on trying one like that in the near future.  January’s calendar was created using fluid acrylics, poster paint markers, and watercolor crayons (to grunge it up a bit).  Paint drips were used to create the calendar boxes.

I can’t believe January is over!  I’m off to start working on February!
