Index Card a Day 2022 - Week 4

This is my weekly summary

of my daily collages for the

Index Card a Day challenge. 

Each collage is 2½ by 3 inches

(half of a 5" by 3" index card).

I am not following the daily prompts

or weekly themes,

so that I am free to enjoy the process

of just spending time being creative

every day for 61 days.

Index Card a Day 2022

During the months of June & July

I am taking part in the Index Card a Day challenge. 

It will be my fifth year,

but my first since 2018.

In the current climate I decided

to cut my 5x3 inch index cards in half,

thus making a smaller working surface,

meaning that I use less of my supplies each day.

Day 1

I am also not following the daily prompts,

so that I am free to enjoy the process

of just spending time being creative

every day for 61 days.
