What a blessing it was. I thoroughly enjoyed the event. You are awesome to have developed this and you have cultivated it well over the years. My hat goes off to you!Diane M.

I keep working on it. Yes, I saw the string paintings that you did on Day#4 too. Great! Aren't they the BEST? I have actually gotten a lot of really cool art pieces out of just playing like this AND some very "profoundly insightful" knowledge about myself in the process. Keep coming back, more art will continue to appear along with my ramblings!Diane M.

I learned this technqiue as well in my expressive arts training. In fact, I posted some on Day 4 of the AEDM challenge. Your blog and creations are insightful and inspiring. I very much look forward to seeing more of your lovely creations!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8875650572842698105.post-57220471673977739782009-11-30T22:54:18.173-05:002009-11-30T22:54:18.173-05:00Hi Julie...thank you for your comment.

I WILL be continuing to post, I will continue doing art and I will be able to have a little time to work on some other things too. Hopefully my full website will be finished before the New Year and before I have to dive back into the school books. Look for that soon too. I miss AEDM already!Diane M.

He almost looks like he is going to just go to sleep and float to the bottom. The striped fish looks a little sad to me.<br /><br />Diana...I don't know if I can keep up the everyday art, I was not even able to do art every day for the challenge. It is a great concept though. I might try it still through the holiday, but I am starting back to Art Therapy grad school in the middle of January (I took this past semester off to look for a full-time social work job—still nothing on that front yet), so once that starts back up I think my research class is going to be intense if it is anything like the social work masters research coursework. We shall see. I certainly have enjoyed myself this month.Diane M.
