Three things I am making, loving + thinking about this week: habits + circles + NFTs |

I know we’re already three weeks in, but I’m going to say it anyway: Happy New Year, Friends! Tis the season for resolutions and habits. One of my favorite books and authors is Atomic Habits by James Clear. In his bestselling book he writes: “Every action you take is a vote for the type of person you wish to become. […] Habits are the path to changing your identity. The most practical way to change who you are is to change what you do.” This is a natural time to choose a new, updated or improved identity you wish to create in the coming year. I designed this Habit Mandala to help us track daily progress on habits and have a little fun while we’re at it – it’s coloring, mindfulness AND habit tracking all rolled into one. |

If you’re comfortable sharing, I would LOVE to see your completed mandalas – snap a pic and email me. And let me know how it works for you. If you have feedback, I’m all ears. |

Don’t forget: it’s a leap year! But don’t worry: the PDF includes a 29-day template for this February. |

Contemporary Collage magazine announced a call for entries in December for the theme Circles. Serendipitously, I had just completed my Bridge to the Moon collection so I threw my hat in the ring. What a sweet surprise to open the January digital edition and see four of my pieces featured! 👏 Contemporary Collage Magazine is a monthly digital magazine that features the most exciting, fresh, and inspirational collage from around the world. At £5 per month, it’s a steal for all of the art and ideas that are packed into each issue. And they recently introduced a print version to satisfy the analog paper people. |

The only explanation of NFTs I’ve come across that makes any sense: |
