                <description><![CDATA[We&#039;re entering into our 9th month together with something a bit lighter than the last couple projects. This month is all about repetition, we&#039;ll be creating a simple pattern using whatever materials you prefer. Once the pattern is established, introduce one small variation: a splash of color, a discordant note, a missing line, etc. This variation can be added to a single iteration or introduced to every iteration in slightly different ways.  Material: Whatever you choose to create your pattern, ...]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[This month&#039;s turn out was a bit low, but given the time of year and the number of big changes that folks are juggling, it isn&#039;t a surprise. Even with the smaller number of projects, I enjoyed each and every project that was sent my way. From the pragmatic to the humorous, each one a success. If you&#039;re still working on something, feel free to send it over when you&#039;re ready. As always, many thanks for sticking with it! - CF | Cocytus Studies No. 8: Listen to the World Weep Materials: Stone, water,...]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[Over the last seven months, a few of you have proposed projects that utilize sound in some way. Well, the time has come: the primary requirement for this month&#039;s project is that it must produce sound. Beyond that, there are no restrictions on medium, scale, materials, or process. The sound may be produced through interaction, movement, environmental conditions, or autonomous mechanisms.  Material: Sound (and whatever it takes to make it). Wrap up: Please send a brief description of your project,...]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[The best part of the Year of Projects, for me, is seeing these projects slowly start to land in my inbox every month. From wishful thinking, to the passing of a good pup, to moments of zen, everyone delivered great shadows! If you found art in the shadows around you or bent the shadows to your will, I appreciate them all. - BG | Right/Wrong Nothing is inherently right or wrong until you choose the perspective through which you view it.]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[This month&#039;s project was initially inspired by February&#039;s candle holder project and then resurfaced again after seeing one of last month&#039;s submissions. This month&#039;s project highlights the dark side, focusing on the use of shadows as your material. That which casts the shadow can be anything you choose, I just want to see the darkness.  Material: Cast shadow Wrap up: Photo(s) of the shadow and whatever it is that made the shadow. If it&#039;s helpful, please include a little written context. -]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[This month we&#039;ve got a slightly different project... This month&#039;s proposal focuses more on conditions/context rather than materials or format. This month we will be making something that will placed in a public location (anonymous or not). Your submission can be made of any material, but it should have at least one moving (or re/movable) part. The movement can be the result of human interaction, or as something as simple as a flag moving in the breeze.  Materials: Whatever you like, just make it...]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[This month was tough for a lot of us. Our materials dried out, became brittle, and broke before we even had a chance to use them. Travel, work, and family all tugged on our time and attention. Despite all of the demands, the group managed to make interesting things from leaves, petals, sticks, stones, and bones. Good work folks. - CC | Weave]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[This month we&#039;ve got a project submission that will get you outside and back to nature (whatever that looks like wherever you are). The output can be whatever you like: a mask, a mandala, wind chimes, Wicker Man... anything. The only rule: your materials have to be found in nature.  Materials: Found in nature (ex: sticks, rocks, leaves, water, etc) or derived from nature (ex: crushed berries to make dye, charcoal from your fire pit, etc.). You can use wire, glue, or fasteners to hold things toge...]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[When I announced this project, 3 people (not including the person who proposed the idea) wrote to tell me how excited they were. A month later, people were probably cursing me as x-acto blades scarred finger tips while folks worked late into the night. Even so, you folks really did some great work, not that I am surprised... but I always appreciate it. If you send a link to a digital version of your zine, I&#039;ll post it with your project below. - CC | Mail]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[This month we&#039;re tackling another suggested project: we&#039;ll be making a zine. This month I am asking you to create zine with at least 8 pages (include front and back cover) that explore any topic/theme that you choose. My own collection of zines feature drug-fueled country songs, radical leftist politics, personal journals, to random collections of art and text. Zines are typically designed in a way that allows for cheap reproduction (often b/w photocopies), but in this case, you don&#039;t need to ad...]]></description>

Nice to see such a broad range of materials and approach: collage, sculpture, ceramics, embroidery, typography, block prints, and more! I hope you enjoy these as much as I enjoyed seeing them roll in... Sidenote: Artist statements (un/serious or otherwise) are always welcome. - C | Stick]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[This month we’ve got another project request: we’re going to start with a found piece of art (however you define that), and then we’re going to modify it. It’s up to you to decide how far you want to venture from the original art. Don&#039;t forget to document before you begin. Materials: Your found art can be made of any material(s), and your modifications can utilize any material(s). You can work in two or three dimensions. You can work at any scale.  Wrap Up: When you’ve completed your project, se...]]></description>

I was quite impressed with this month&#039;s shares; from the unconventional materials, to the unexpected results, and all (to the best of my knowledge) without injury. Great work, folks!

From relearning how to make marks on paper to just forcing yourself to sit and focus, this project was as much about the effort of doing it as it was about the results. I really appreciate the fact that you all made time for this project (and yourself). Not everyone included a preference for anonymity, so for this one I&#039;ll simply use first initials. If you include your preference for Febr...]]></description>

It&#039;s up to you to decide the type of candle it will hold and if it&#039;s a single holder or a set of two (hell, if you want to make a candelabra... go for it). Materials: Make your holder out of any material (ideally non-flammable). I encourage you to try working with a material you&#039;ve never used before, but that&#039;s up to you.]]></description>

Think of a familiar object, something you know fairly well, and draw it from memory. This object can be as small or as big as you like. Once complete, find that object and draw it as you observe it. Your drawings can be made with any mark making utensil on any surface, but both drawings should use the same materials.]]></description>
