    Who knew twelve small tiles, a pencil, and a little ink could teach me such important life skills? While I am already planning more tiles, free doodles, multiple pen-widths, and color (did I mention color?), I know that these lessons will stay with m...

    I like rules. I know that’s odd to find in a creative, but I’m an odd creative – I like organization, strategy, and a plan. (I do not like math.) I love to push against these boundaries or turn the box upside down to see things differently, but I fin...

    I can't believe this is the final tile...I can't believe this challenge has been completed. I can't believe next Monday won't bring another tangle. I can't believe I can use color...and various nibs...and doodles! I can't beli...

    I've been sort of looking forward to the end of this official challenge for several (previously noted) reasons, the least of which being not having to figure out what to share about each tile's learning process. Now that we have one tile left...

    One major discussion we had for this side gig was how we would honor the original event’s branding while carefully communicating that we were not that event. We took our cues from the organization itself as they suggest attaching specific verbiage: “...

    I like this piece. I appreciate the starkness I was able to achieve...and I still have a few things I wish I'd done differently, but overall I think I applied most of the official principles and still gave it a bit of that AmyJ Designs flare. I e...
