* Encouraging each other to try new techniques

* Sponsoring challenges for motivation

* Informing each other of shows, challenges and book submissions

* Encouraging each other to use social media to gain exposure for our work

And that's just a start!

The Exhibitions

Our website, www .TrueAddictsOfDailyArt.com was created to feature our group online exhibitions. The first of our exhibitions, Letters of Adornment, opened on September 19th, 2011.

Hurry and you can be in our second show,
One Year, One Piece : An Exhibit of work made in 2011

All you have to do is
1 - join the Flickr group - tada365
www.flickr.com/groups/tada365
2 - send a picture of your favorite work that you made in 2011 using this form.
www.trueaddictsofdailyart.com/jan15show.html

3. Then come and share more photos and comments through the year. We no longer expect pictures every single day..we've realized that all creating doesn't always translate into something that can be shown in a photo. But, we do stop in several times a week and get inspired and in turn, inspire each other.

We look forward to seeing your work.

Me, after the talk last night.

Just wanted to thank those who came last night to my talk at the Atlantic Highlands Library. Thank you also to the staff there, especially Marilyn, for all their help and support with the exhibit and talk.

My rings are still on display there until Monday morning, so stop by if you haven't had the chance. Click here for more information.

Everyone thought I should tape the talk and put it on uTube. I think I might just do that, possibly this weekend.

Ring a Day Exhibit and Talk

I have some great news to share with you! On Tuesday, Dec. 6th, I will be speaking about my experience during the Ring a Day project. The talk will be at the Atlantic Highlands Library (temporary location is 48 Avenue C in the Fireman's Field clubhouse) at 7pm.

They have been kind enough to offer me space there for an exhibit of some of the rings I made, plus more recent work. You can stop by and see the exhibit during their open hours from December 1st (in the evening) through December 12th.

Thank you to Atlantic Highlands Herald for recently publishing news of this event. See the article here.

I spent the year of 2010 making a ring every day as part of a Flickr challenge group RAD2010. You can see all the rings I made through my page here. It was an exciting and inspiring year. I made online friends with jewelers all over the world, as we met online each day and posted images of our latest creations.

Marthe Le Van from Lark Books compiled a book of 700 photos of rings in the project. 30 of my rings are included. The book, entitled Ring a Day: 700 Photos from a 365 day Jewelry Challenge is available for sale on Amazon. It is also available in the Monmouth County Library catalog with copies at the Atlantic Highlands branch, Ocean Township branch and at Headquarters branch. Anyone in the county can request a copy through their local branch.

I'll have a few copies of the book for sale at the talk. I'll also have a few free swag bags for those who are nice enough to come! I'm looking forward to seeing you!
