Despite my disappointment with this shot, I still begrudgingly added it among my 2011 collection of “A Year In Pictures” that I religiously post to everyday on Facebook. After all, it is a great picture of a winter tree. Perhaps with the fuzzy crimson bird in the background one might consider this photo artistic.
While this is not how I intended to practice my first day of incorporating art into mundane daily activities, I thought it would nestle in quite nicely among the idea. At the furniture store, part of my job is managing customer care, ie: damages, replacements, etc. My primary form of organization consists of colorful post-it notes that have reminders, usually written in an aromatic black Sharpie, of what needs to be done next with each claim. Tuesday, I took to work with me a deep fuchsia Sharpie from home to make my notes with. My moods are affected by color; the interior of my house is painted a variety of colors and my wardrobe screams of a jewel-toned rainbow. I thought this would be an appropriate way to insert art into my regular routine, and I believe that it made my day at work just a little brighter. The following day included making and consuming a vibrantly colorful dinner, both visually appealing and delicious.
One of my 37 days included incorporating a new jewelry creation into my everyday morning routine of typical Facebooking and blogging while drinking coffee. The results were very exciting and since that day I have made a new creation everyday since this challenge doesn't specify against one consistant art form. The results are exciting, they offer me a slightly new perspective on things, although I admit I still have quite a long way to go.
