art junkorganizing squares for the final count!!
....about 40 left to go, so I'm getting all my "squares in a row". I'm trying to decide how/ what to display them in. I can't believe a year has already gone by! As I look through the squares, I remember where I was and what was going on at the time I made certain squares. Many of these were made after dinner, while relaxing and watching tv or movies. It became routine. My kids would even ask me to "make some squares" if they didn't see me making them! My youngest noticed that I hummed while I made them and that she liked that. We also had a lot of "square" jokes circulating around here...especially from my husband...but everyone got involved in poking fun at me, and that's ok! When I first started making them, after hearing/seeing them from a member of AAO (of which I am now a member)...people outside that group thought I was, well, I think the word used was "crazy"...but soon, the inchies caught on like wildfire, and now everyone is making them (even fiber artists have adopted the concept and are making fabulous little works of art!)...... Thanks to Julie, the founder of AAO, for having this wonderful idea and to members sharing their art on flickr..or else I would have never seen them. Ok, well, thanks for following my little project, I will write more later. xo Lia

Oh my god, this is so inspiring. I completely agree with you Lia that you need to make a habit of making art just like you exercise and brush your teeth. I am trying really hard. They say is 99% perspiration and 1% inspiration. Once you get going, I think something happens. You are proof.!
