day 15

"Believe you can and you're halfway there." --Theodore Roosevelt

this week's focus is adding collage elements. only a slight change for today....trying this out "strategically." so what is it? a stylish, literary unicorn?

i also think i overdid the editing on this photo. it's not nearly that bright or blue in real life. i'm not that bright (or blue) in real life either.

by the way, this 30 day challenge is half way over! quick reflection on this: 

pros:

• it's been good to feel obligated to sit and finish at least 1 thing a day. 
• a few limitations really help me from becoming overwhelmed with options.
• get lots of small work done quickly.

cons:

• several aren't very good and they seem to be getting worse, so now i'll be happy if there will be 20 to be confident with.
• not sure anyone (including me) should care about this series. i don't really know what they are or what to do next. my inner critic is talking a little too loudly.
• it's not a good way to work if you're doing larger or more intricate stuff....i suppose that's a different challenge....
• i'm tending to get into a "well, i did my one for the day. guess i'm done!" mindset. this was NOT the intention. they were meant to be a warm up before working on other things.
• not being as experimental as i thought because i know they will be posted...so fear of failing is also seeping in. the result is they are getting stale. hopefully the collage ones will help make things interesting again.
