2016 FUN-A-DAY Boston has begun
Check out who is having fun so far!
2016 participants:
Danielle Festa
Create something in the physical world everyday
Drawing, crafting, painting or sculpting - I plan to make something creative with my hands (off the computer) every day in January.
Gerardo Garduño
Illumination
Lighting is my project that consists of representing the geometry influence on my work and all things in the universe. Inspired by the art of snowflakes, geometry and winter season, with a touch of color to our eyes give us a smile.
Mary Lewey

Cara Brostrom
Boundaries
Photograph edges, where one place becomes another.

My Oxygen Mask First
I will record video of myself trying to do a head stand and compile this progress or failure from the 1st to 31st. SOME BACKGROUND: Since Christmas, my existing intention for January 2016 is to build Strength. The symbol that represents this for me is being able to hold myself, my whole self, in the head stand position, something I have never been able to do. Yet, my perceived accomplishment of it is that it is a result of strengthening my core, my mind and also softening what has hardened. I would like to build physical and spiritual strength in light of wanting to be a better support for those I love. This fall and winter has already tested me in different ways and I would like to better practice putting my oxygen mask on first, so to speak.
Stephanie Krist
Drop-Cap-a-Day
I'll draw/letter/paint/design one fancy letter per day! Probably in alphabetical order. Probably in 6x6 squares. But we'll see where to fun takes me. (I'll post on Instagram @lettersfromrita)

Mythical Beasts Eating Dessert
I will do a series of drawings of creatures from various mythologies enjoying tasty treats. The drawings will vary in complexity, depending on how much time I have each day.
Tracy Rodriguez Forbes
Photo a day
I'd like to focus on taking a photo each day of a unique area in my house, something or some area that brings me joy. I read The Life Changing Magic of Tidying Up this past year and it inspired me to totally renew the way I look at my home. I envision mostly macro shots but will likely throw in a few zoomed out as well. I'm hoping to have the end product be a pretty cool collage of our home.

Janna Kauss
Experiments in 3D
I've been gifted a 3D Doodler Pen. I want to do a series of studies to learn what the pen can do, and how it can blur the 2D and 3D worlds.....
Mary Lydecker
All My Grandmother's Thread
I inherited my grandmother's spool chest, filled with partially used spools of thread, in a spectrum of colors. During the month of January, I intend to make an embroidered work using the thread to fill in text reading 'All of my Grandmother's Thread', working each day to integrate a different spool. I plan to document the progress each day of both the emerging embroidery, as well as the emptying spools and spool chest.
