Personal Art Challenge

Hi from your derelict blogger,
It's September now, our beautiful, hot summer has succumbed to a damp and wet fall. Before the weather turned school supplies started hitting store shelves. Now, I never liked going back to school, but I love school supplies. The selection of pens in an array of colours, the clean pads of notepaper, and all the cool rulers, paperclips and other doodads that may or may not be useful. In alot of ways September is the beginning of a new year (a new school year, yes, but even for those of us not in school). This year as I was perusing the school supplies and sighing over the fact that I didn't have a reason to buy any, I got thinking. I decided that I should splurge on a few supplies for my art, and if I was going to do that I really should use them, and that might require a plan.
That brings us to the personal challenge part. Back in February, Opus Art Supplies facilitated a Daily Art Challenge. I didn't manage to go along with it, but I thought that if I took the prompts they provided that would give me a specific thing to work on when I sat down to create. I tweaked the challenge a bit more to suit me and the time that I can find to work on my art. I decided that my challenge will be to take one prompt a week to do and then to share it here. I think that will be doable but still enough of a challenge.
I officially chose to begin as the first week of September opened its pages. And so, last week I began.
