ICAD stands for Index-Card-A-Day and is a challenge that runs each June and July. The object is to create daily on an index card.
You can find Part 1 of this year’s cards here: youtu.be/l5DPGijurvo
The cards I make from the ICADs are available at Hello Gallery in Fairhope, AL: instagram.com/hellofairhope
Find more information about ICAD from its creator, Tammy on her website: daisyyellowart.com/icad-base

Here’s a playlist of my ICAD process videos from 2024 (though there are several other of my ICAD videos and playlists here on YouTube.): youtube.com/playlist?list=PLqeJA0eXm_OlqMuG2mCMkYhjX_lRyeIbN
Also mentioned -
~*~Neurographic doodling/art. I encourage you to look up this term and explore it yourself. It is a meditative form of mindful creating that I really enjoy.

~*~ Finding the Words Art Journaling playlist: youtube.com/playlist?list=PLqeJA0eXm_OkRDrutn9TPO8XWSFGlluTT
~*~ There is probably a ton of information on Marginalia out there. Here’s the Wikipedia page on it: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marginalia
~*~ The watercolored Monarch Butterfly I used was one I made based off the teaching of Tiffany Simply Sharpe. You can find it in her list of courses here: tiffanysimplysharpe.com/courses
