I am a visual person. I like the visual arts and I like to be creative.
Last year when Denyse shared her ICAD art, I was inspired. This year I bit the bullet, found some index cards (which was a little harder than I first thought), and got really excited to start.
Every day for the months of June and July, I create something on an index card. So do heaps of other people. I've joined the ICAD facebook group and I get to see everyone's different takes on the prompts or their off-prompt creations.
Here's my first seven days. I am enjoying this challenge and have used the prompts provided so far. I don't have to hurt my brain too hard thinking of something to create.

| ICAD #1 mix tape water colour, sharpie and biro. Using this photo for #fmy52weeksofmemories for last week which was 'name'. I am pretty sure this is what I probably wrote on my tapes so my siblings didn't get any big ideas. I remember having VHS tapes with the top 40 recorded from RAGE on the ABC. If one of them taped over my music it was the end of the world! |
 |
| ICAD #2 pyramid Torn printed paper, torn sandpaper, water colour and crayon. I used the smallest pair of scissors I own, a pair of nail scissors to cut out the camels. They came in handy for something, I don't use them on my nails! |
 |
| ICAD #3 Snoopy I drew this in pencil first and then went over it with a fine line felt tip pen. It took me a few goes to get Woodstock right from the erasing lines that are visible. |
 |
| ICAD #4 typewriter Water colour, sharpie border and printed stuff from the net. I printed out the words, then cut them up and bordered them with a sharpie. |
 |
| ICAD #5 cloud Water colour, wool and printed words cut and pasted |
 |
| ICAD #6 Top ten list Real red wine stains, coloured sharpies and numbers cut and pasted from the May issue of Woolworths Fresh magazine. I really did run over the kid next door's bike that day! |
 |
| ICAD #7 Pinball or bowling Wood print, pencil drawn ball and pins, black fine line felt pen |
