About Me
- Dayna Collins
- Pacific Northwest, United States
- I am a woman trying to navigate being 50-something, to not dwell too much on getting older, and reminding myself constantly to live in the moment. I am a woman who loves books, reading, and used bookstores (especially Powell's in downtown Portland). I am a woman who is discovering art after years of raising kids, working, and going to school. I am a woman who loves collage, painting, mixed media, and assemblage. I am a woman who loves gunkholing in junk stores and picking trash up off the street just for the thrill of its possibilities. I am a woman who has a mantra to BE BOLD.

neat! what's going to happen to the daily canvas while you are in italy?
Gretchin, it is my hope to do some "pre-emptive" entries, then a little catch-up when we return so that I'll be back on track fairly quickly without actually missing any entries! Dayna
LOOOOOOVE this!
Wow! I'm going to have to read up about this canvas project because this is so cool!
I came by your blog via Pamela's Portland group idea - I hope it happens. Your visual journaling class looks like fun! And I'd love to see pics of what you made at Art & Soul, especially from the Vintage Metal Treasure Deck class and the Gridlocked class - two that I'd really like to take.

Jan, for the Canvas Project you get a canvas (mine is 30 inches x 30 inches and was leftover from a class I took last summer) and you start adding things: one thing a day - paint, collage, words, etc. When you are working on other projects, it is quite handy to get rid of extra paint onto the canvas, glue on a tidbit from your "other" project . . . you get the idea. But you have to do one thing a day. I keep a little journal nearby and jot down the date and what I added.
