I KNOW...I KNOW!!!!  It is just the first half of October....and those participating in #Inktober are creating AMAZING WORK!!!!!!!!!!  I just wanted to give you guys time to think about what you might do for #turkeyaday18 !!!!  The first year I based each day off of a different artist or work of art.  Last year I created in a different medium each day.  This year I'm going to.......well, you'll just have to wait and see!!!  I hope you'll consider participating.  It is always fun to see what other create...and this is a silly/no pressure challenge!!!   It will kick off Nov. 1st & run through the month! Join us every day...or as much as you can!! 

#turkeyaday17: Day 30

#turkeyaday17 is in the books!

Thank you to all who participated, commented, or viewed!

This is meant to be just a fun way to create daily...no pressure...no real rules(other than to make a turkey).  Sometimes we need a bit of silliness in our life. 

Hope you will join in next year!!!

#turkeyaday17: Day 29

#turekyaday17: Day 28

So I took my bird from Day 26....that was so ugly it was cute and finished added too it a bit more! ha ha  This is another time that I'm cracking myself up.  Well, this little bird is ready for winter.

#turkeyaday17: Day 27

I've always enjoyed vine charcoal, but haven't had the guts to use it with my students!  I can only imagine the hands, faces, arms, clothing....AHHH!! ha ha  Someday I will!  

#turkeyaday17: Day 25

Art materials come in all forms!! Kind of like seeing shapes/objects in the clouds.

#turkeyaday17: Day 24

My two favorite apps are Pic Collage & RePix.  I took a Sharpie drawing I did of turkeys in the grass...and dropped it into RePix.  I used the "Dotter" tool to create this look.  

#turkeyaday17: Got Behind?!?!

I had intentions of posting every day for #turkeyaday17.

Things happen?!?! I was creating every day, but just couldn't get myself to post.

Oh well...I give myself grace & am doing my best to catch up!  

Here are a handful of turkeys for your viewing pleasure.

HALF WAY THROUGH THE MONTH!!!!  I WONDER WHAT TURKEYS WILL COME TO BE AS WE FINISH OFF THIS YEAR'S CHALLENGE!!!

#turkeyaday17 (playing catch up)

It is so easy to get behind posting?!?!?! 

Here are a few days worth of turkeys for you!!

My Mixed Media turkey started out as an incised plate print using acrylic paint.  I wasn't really thrilled with it as a print so I decided to push it a bit further.  I did a watercolor wash overtop of the print.  Then I used gold Sharpie and wrote "gobble" over and over in the background.  I highlighted some of the colors using oil pastels, and colored pencil to create shadows.

We are doing circle weaving with 3rd grade & soft sculptures in 4th grade...so yarn, plastic needles, and SmartFab are ALL OVER my room! ha ha  I made this little stitched turkey during bus duty.  

When my incised plate print didn't turn out as I wanted it to...I decided to do a transfer print using Portfolio Oil Pastels.  He made me laugh! ha ha

#turkeyaday17

                 It's that time of year again!! It's time for the second annual Turkey-A-Day Challenge!!! 

I love turkeys(not as much as turtles...but close).  They are fun/silly/interesting creatures.  Last year I started creating a turkey a day for the month of November. I invited others to join me! I had so much fun creating & seeing others create as well.  I themed them last year on famous art works. But a theme is not necessary.  And if you can't join in every day.....do it when you can.  Post it to social media & hashtag it #turkeyaday17 ! Can't wait to see what we make!!
