ICAD Week 1

ICAD  is the Index Card A Day creative challenge, which runs for two months from 1st June.

I am posting my cards daily on Instagram, but only publishing a blog post once a week.

My index cards are 3" by 5"

Day 1

Creativity begins when you challenge assumptions

Day 2

Embrace the beauty of imperfection

Day 3

Beauty is the mystery of life.
It is not in the eye,
it is in the mind.
Agnes Martin

Day 4

Envelope unopened

Envelope opened revealing insert

Message on the reverse of insert

Day 5

He is a wise man who does not grieve
for the things which he has not,
but rejoices for those which he has.
Epictetus
