2009 Projects – Project 3 – 52 Tags

I know I should stop adding new projects to what promises to be an
already very full year but after this one I only have one more in mind
so I think I’m close to the end.

For this project, I decided to combine my own version of Julie’s Project
52 with Emily’s 52Q.
I wanted to spend more time trying new techniques, exploring and seeing
what I like so I made a list of all the techniques I could think of
(almost all of which doesn’t require me to buy any new supplies of any
kind.) I ordered manilla tags so that I can do a tag a week using
Emily’s questions as my prompts and a tehcnique from my list. I used
Excel to randomize my list (I am a computer geek afterall) and I’m only
allowed to go up or down 4 in the list each week for my technique just
so I don’t spend too much time picking one.



Since the tags are still on order, this might take another week to start
or I might just make my own tag for this week, we’ll see. But here’s the
list of all my techniques.

I picked tags cause they are small and make this project more manageable
for me. This will be my version of an art journal this year.
