Anything or anyone that does not bring you alive is too small for you.

The j-months of summer is over already, and it’s high time to wrap this project up. I finished all my index cards this year, which feels great.
They’re mostly colorful, playful collages with some paint splattered on here and there. June and July, that’s 61 index cards, in case you’re wondering. How many finished cards are in your pile?
Index Card July 22 by iHanna: Listen to your muse!
I did not create them daily, and in July I made them mostly as a weekly batch. But who cares, they’re all done by yours truly and during the summer months. Index-card-a-day is not a strict challenge with many rules, and I like making up my own rules anyway.
Index Card July 23 by iHanna: Watercolor doodles.
See the black lettering, done with my brush letter? Haha, I’m practicing (a little). At least trying to use the pen I bought for that purpose.
Index Card July 24 by iHanna: Something fishy in the human pond.
Index Card July 25 by iHanna: Not giving a rat’s ass…
And here’s another index card with “interactive elements”, showing some hidden text under the vellum flip-up;
Index Card July 26 by iHanna: 13 kilo. That’s how much textile each person buys in Sweden each year. Only 20 percent of it is recycled. Sad to know, but I think we can do a lot better from now on.
Index Card July 27 by iHanna: Llama row.
Index Card July 28 by iHanna: Hans Rosling. Because he was such a cool guy.
That’s all of my index cards for the year. Now I’m totally ready to move on to other things.
If you haven’t seen all the previous blog posts, check out my tag ICAD 2019 and click through to see them in weekly groupings. And leave me a comment to let me know if you find any favorites among them. :-)
Cheers!
Congrats on finishing the ICAD 2019 challenge, Hanna! Well done! Thank you for sharing your journey and artwork along the way. It was really fun to see what you were creating! Hope you had fun!
I enjoy all of your index cards. Thanks so much for sharing your work and talent to those of us that follow you,
