I am part of a Facebook group which encourages, inspires and supports one another. It has become more than a group of strangers with a common interest, willing to share their knowledge but also there to learn. It has now become a group of friends with whom I can share not only (what little!) knowledge I have, but to share thoughts, opinions & stories in our everyday lives.

I became involved in Print on Demand in 2016 in a hope to sell my art and designs on an array of products. After not very much luck and only enough effort that I could afford to give it, I decided I sucked! However I did not abandon a sinking ship but rather put on the life jacket and dived in. Research was key. I have followed Youtube videos, reads blogs and then came the Facebook groups.

One in particular is my favorite. The POD Central Website Facebook group. It is the one I refer to in my opening paragraph and the one that this post is about. As part of a teaching unit (all optional) we were given a challenge for September. Create a piece of art inspired by the day’s theme. Each day is given a specific theme and nothing is mandatory. We just create when we get the time, post it to that day’s thread and then like the post to show we participated.

Week 1

• Day 1 – Green ✔
• Day 2 – Music ✔
• Day 3 – Controversy ✔
• Day 4 – Summer ✔
• Day 5 – Flash Back Friday – This was take an old product design and recreate afresh.

Week 2

• Day 6 – Abstract ✔
• Day 7 – Peace
• Day 8 – Light & Dark Autumn. Not just your usual colours.
• Day 9 – Fake Advertising – Create an imaginary item, movie, band etc the advertise it!
• Day 10 – Food

So we are now into week 4 and I’m a bit behind but the beauty is there is no set time frame, which is a great thing as I am not known for speed. Slow and steady wins the race. Here is a few of the designs so far.
