It’s thanksgiving day here in Canada. A day off from work, no much to do after yesterday’s dinner prep and socializing. Today is quiet, and I like this way.
Sadje offers these 2 photos as a prompt for WDYS this week:
Since it’s a time to be thankful and I’m revising my goals, I wrote a few thoughts:
one minute per day
miracle on the way
truth pillars
little here and there
sparkling one day
without messages
an eruption is the next
Happy Thanksgiving to you if case your are commemorating today!
I prepped this background a few weeks ago. The colours turned out nicely, but I don’t kow how to go ahead with it, what to add to it. Maybe it stands by itself, only colours, abstract, and the expression will depend on who sees it.
For me, these colours represent barriers I have to break, things I need to understand to go ahead, to make peace with myself. So, this painting is much more than a background; it speaks everything, it is a complete piece of art.
“Abstract art is a fundamental distrust of the theory of reality concocted by the eyes.” Robert Brault
colourful or plain
scraps of imagination
a treasure or trash
from a perfectly nothing
a future without hurry
Joining Tanka Tuesday.
July 31st! Can you believe it’s the last day of July? Almost impossible to believe how fast this summer is going by. Today is the last day of #icad2025. Here are a few of them. The above one is maybe my fave of all of them, pure simplicity.
Another favourite card below, fall colours. The weather is already turning here, autumn is coming!
I hope you enjoyed this #icad series. If you would like to see more tiny art, check my Instagram.
Wishing a wonderful August to you!
It’s difficult to believe I’m keeping up with the art cards challenges! Week two is completed.
A messy card to match my messy desk.
Mixing up colours and stickers.
I’m not following the prompts, but I added a twig to this card, since the prompt of that day was a twig.
Hope you are enjoying the cards. Any favourite from these ones?
Hello, I’ve just heard that yesterday was Best Friends Day! I’m so grateful for all my online friends, here and on IG. Some of them for more than 10 years. Today’s card (above) is about connection, yes, I believe in it!
Yesterday was a peaceful day, so my card was all about relaxing.
My previous cards are below. Hope you enjoy them!
My icads are all about my feelings at the moment. The 2/61 is about dreams and freedom, and the 3/61, as you can see, is perfectionism, or better, letting go of it.
“Let go of perfection—it’s overrated. Your art, with all its quirks and imperfections, is perfect because it’s a reflection of you—unique, powerful, and real.” Arastasia
I got the inspiration for the 4/61 card below from my garden. I saw butterflies and birds everywhere this morning while drinking my coffee outdoors. The weather was pleasant and perfect to admire the playfulness of the little creatures among the plants.
I hope I have inspired you today!
June is here with warmer weather, flowers, sunshine, flip-flops, outdoor eating… Oh, my, so much goodness in this month!
June is also a time for the I-CAD (Index Card) challenge from Daisy Yellow, where we use an index card to create something during June and July, totalling 61 cards. I had joined this challenge for many years, but I let it go. This year I’m inspired to do it again. It’s so rewarding to see the card pile at the end of the challenge, and I really need to get my creativity mojo back.
My first one for this year. I put it together in less than 5 minutes. I prepped the background yesterday using a tea bag, and this morning I added the stickers. I like the result!
Happy new month to you!
Looking forward for a new month full of inspiration and colours. My tiny journal is getting chubby, not much as I expected, February was a slow journaling month, hoping to catch up in March.
Today I woke up with a feeling of excitement, spring is coming but at the same time a feeling of missed opportunities: Did I learn all of the lessons from winter? Did I enjoy all its coziness? Did I dive inwards and really connected to myself? …My questions started with DID, it’s the past, now let me look ahead, to all the new possibilities of growth and blooming.
And you? How are you feeling about the change of the seasons?
Wishing you a flourishing new month, Spring or Autumn, both bring colours to the Earth.
In March winter is holding back and Spring is pulling forward.
Something holds and something pulls inside of us too.

These tiny cards are called inches, they are 2 x 2 inches. I love to set up a specific time to make them, not hurrying but inspired. I make them for myself, although I have sent a few of them to friends over the years.
I should have hundreds of them by now. I started working with small-size cards when I joined the #100dayproject on Instagram long ago. It’s a yearly project when we work on something creative for 100 days. I joined this project many years back, but I skipped it last year. It starts on February 22nd, and I am still deciding what I will do, it will be probably more inches, but I still have a few days to decide.
The main intention of keeping doing the same thing for 100 days is to burst the creativity making time for working lovingly on something that is important to us.
