An invitation.

On Instagram the hashtag #paintme_traceypotter is used by the artist Tracey Potter for her IG followers to leave a pic for her  to paint. She delivers a wonderful water colour likeness to the original. This inspirational lady has given me an idea to get back into more creative pursuits and to invite those of you along who would like to stretch your creative muscles.

So here's a new challenge. It's called The Insta Project1x12.

Using one of your own Instagram photos, try to draw, paint, collage or use any form of art you like, to recreate it. Then post your developing art work  to #theinstaproject1x12 .

Here is my January attempt. This pic was taken as part of the Interiors Addict #7vignettes monthly challenge with the theme '7 things starting with the letter S'. The print was made by origrami which is an Australian company specialising in printing Instagram photographs.


 

The idea is to work on only one piece of art per month, which hopefully isn't too onerous. I would love to share your endeavours and from time to time regram favourites. You don't have to be an artist, I certainly am not. It's all about developing your creativity and sharing your journey with an interested community. Hope you'll join in the challenge.
