Day 4: far & near

Day 4/28: far & near

Today is our first Two for Tuesday of the month! If you are new to the challenge, Two for Tuesdays are a day when we give you TWO prompts instead of one. You can do one piece based on both, two pieces (one for each) or one piece for one! We’re super freeform about it!

Far and near, close and distant. It can be the distance between two people, an item close up then far away, something just out of reach. The separation can be palpable, or more subtle.

Day 3: breathing (breathless)

Day 3/28: breathing (breathless)

We do it so effortlessly. Breathing. Your body will actually force you to breathe, just to keep you alive. A subconscious effort, the inflating of the lungs in the chest, breathe in, breathe out, repeat repeat repeat.

Being breathless comes with a feeling of lightheaded-ness, your heartbeat thundering in your ears, racing to pump oxygen back into your bloodstream. You can feel thin, stretched out, sometimes with a ringing in your ears.

Day 2: I Know

Day 2/28: i know

Knowledge is power. Maybe you know a secret. Maybe you repeatedly tell your mother you know something and she keeps treating you like you don’t. Maybe you’re confessing. But you know something, and you have to tell someone. i know. i know, i know, i know.

Post a link to your piece in the comment's section so we can see the results!

Day 1: Daybreak

Day 1/28: daybreak

We felt it was appropriate to start with this, as daybreak is the beginning of the day, and this is the beginning of our challenge. The dawn, the first light of the day, creeping over the edge of the horizon. You can also take on a more symbolic meaning, to new beginnings, a fresh start.

D-1!

Hello again everyone! Tynan, popping in to let you all know that the prompt list has officially been dropped for this year. You can check out the list here, on our blogspot, or here, on our tumblr. Also, Brittany and I were lucky enough to be interviewed by Annemarie Lockhart from voxpoetica, which you can listen to here.

The official challenge starts tomorrow, so we'll be posting our first prompt tomorrow morning. Don't wait for us to post, though! If you want to get a head start, DO IT! Get creating! GO GO GO!

Introductions: YOU

And now we’d like to hear from all y’all! It’s no requirement but we’ve found it’s only more fun when you know a bit about the people creating near you!

Write a brief introduction to yourself in the comments section. We’d like to hear a fun fact or recent projects, what mediums you plan on using, who’s your fave artist, what’s your fave snack food, whatever you like! Share it with us, what you'd like to get out of this project, what inspires you, etc, etc.

TELL US!
