This month's project was initially inspired by February's candle holder project and then resurfaced again after seeing one of last month's submissions. This month'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

This month we've got a slightly different project... This month'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

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

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

This month we'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.

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

This month we're tackling another suggested project: we'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,

This month folks really delivered some great work! Nice to see such a broad range of materials and approach: collage, sculpture, ceramics, embroidery, typography, block prints, and more! I hope

This month folks really delivered some great work! 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

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

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't forget to document before you

That was fun... I think. If your project was like mine, there were failed prototypes, a few successes, and only small fires. I was quite impressed with this month's shares;

That was fun... I think. If your project was like mine, there were failed prototypes, a few successes, and only small fires. I was quite impressed with this month's shares; from the unconventional materials, to the unexpected results, and all (to the best of my knowledge) without injury. Great work,

This month you all delivered some great work - but I think it was the notes of struggle that I enjoyed most. From relearning how to make marks on paper

This month you all delivered some great work - but I think it was the notes of struggle that I enjoyed most. 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

This month we're shifting into three dimensions... We are going to make a candle holder. It's up to you to decide the type of candle it will hold and if it's a single holder or a set of two (hell, if you want to make a candelabra... go for it).

This month we will ease in with something that many folks will have tried in the past: Drawing. Think of a familiar object, something you know fairly well, and draw

This month we will ease in with something that many folks will have tried in the past: Drawing. 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

Every month this year, I will be posting projects from a small group of folks that have committed themselves to making something every month. These projects might be challenging, but the goal is simple: just make something. So, grab a cup of coffee and stay tuned...
