August 24..."X" Micro Art Mini Challenge


“There are painters who transform the sun to a yellow spot, but there are others who, with the help of their art and their intelligence, transform a yellow spot into sun.” ~Pablo Picasso

With today's letter being what it is, I found a site of unusual words beginning with the letter X. This is a collection I wouldn't use on a daily basis and I wanted something other than X-ray or xylophone. What I found most appealing was the xanthareel.

 Today's Project: "X"  Something new with X
  • Select an image that begins with X. Use a favorite or go find a new word that appeals to you in some way. I had to go with the yellow eel as I love the way it looks.
  • Make a quick pencil sketch of that image on your 3x3 card. Fill in the whole space.
  • Add color and details.  
  •  We are almost at the end of the month and if you've done some of these micro pieces, think about what you can do with them. They make great little gifts for someone, can add a special touch to a handmade greeting card or could be a keepsake for yourself to remind you it's possible to be creative and have fun with simple materials and a few minutes of your time.
