It’s Monday, so it’s time to continue my new feature, where I provide you with a challenge for the upcoming week. I encourage you to share your interpretations, reactions, and results to these prompts wherever you so choose. Maybe you’ll share on social media with the hashtag #uncustomaryart, maybe on your own blog, or maybe just in a summary paragraph in a comment on this post. Or maybe you don’t want to share with anyone but your personal journal, which is completely fine, too. Just take time to explore these topics and yourself.

Weekly Challenge #2: Play

Ideas:  Twirl a plate on a stick  Wear a clown nose  Have a tea party  Watch cartoons  Play on a seesaw  Make a bubble snake  Roll down a hill  Play Messy Twister  Stick confetti, glitter, or googly eyes to your face  Draw an outline of your body on a giant piece of paper

Every week, I choose my favorite response and that person will receive a card in the mail from me. So make sure I know your post exists! (Link to me or use my hashtag.) The interpretation is completely up to you, and there is no wrong answer. So go surround yourself with streams, bark, and moss. Can’t wait to hear what you get into as you make time to play!

Last week’s theme was nature, and I want to thank you all for your entries! The winner is Angie, who did this:


“This is Mimi in her ‘natural’ Summer spa”
