World Art Day

Thanks to those of you who submitted photos for our small virtual art exhibition. If anyone else wants to submit a photo, I can update this post with additions.

Here is some information about World Art Day.

Our first submission is from Janice, who is a woman after my own heart, and creates beautiful pictures by completing jigsaw puzzles. Here is what she's working on now. Perhaps she'll share another photo when it's finished.



Our next submission comes from AnnaLisa who participated in a paint night a few years ago. Here is her painting. So cool.


AnnaLisa has further shown her creativity, through an activity I also enjoy - making photo books. Here is the cover of one she worked on in the past year. It is from one of her trips, and it's 171 pages long. Impressive!



Our next submission is from Coralee who never fails to impress using her skills with needle and thread. Here is an embroidery and beading project she's working on. We hope to see the completed project when she's finished with it.



Our next submission is from Irene. It is a painting of the First Vision in the sacred grove that she did during a Relief Society Zoom class. It's pretty great. AnnaLisa and Irene are making me want to take a painting class!



Our next submission is from Sandy. She created this while teaching the girls at church about Matisse cutouts. This sounds like a great activity, and the result was this awesome project.



My submission mostly involves gluing paper. I created a reader's journal to keep track of my reading this year. Here are a few (not very good) collages of many of the pages. The pages aren't in order, because I didn't take the time to edit the collages. I made this by decorating an old notebook that was just lying around.

This first photo in the first collage is just the cover of the notebook. I didn't paint that picture, but I liked it and thought an Emily Dickinson quote was appropriate for the cover of a reader's journal.



Every few pages I decorated with postcards of Penguin Classics book covers.
