My August has been a bit wild, so I'm just now starting to carve out a little time for the annual #inchiechallenge2026
First day - wildflowers
Make art, even tiny art, my friends!

I'm grateful for the inchie challenge with Amy Maricle and Mindful Art Studio. The prompts were blue, landscape, lines and eucalyptus. Sadly, our landscape is on fire so that influenced that day.

I'm doing the #inchie challenge with Amy Maricle and Mindful Art Studio. I love having an extra motivation to pick up my pen!

Behind in posting again. 5 days were prompts for the Simple Things challenge by Amy Maricle. Some of these were inspired by her book *Draw Yourself Calm* that @michellemahurin.bsky.social got me for my birthday. Thank you!

This week in my little daily #doodle book including a checklist of things to do in Bend. We did all but one. Pretty good! One space inspired by *Draw Yourself Calm* by Amy Maricle. One to practice for a thank you note I want to make. #dailydrawing #sketch #zendoodle #booksky #mindfulartstudio

My 12 inchies from the @amymaricle challenge. Some I like better than others but I’m intrigued by my color choices and how much I like this grid. Lots of new starting points.

And here's a quick look at how I am gathering all my squares into a sort of smashbook. Lots of pages to finish.
It was my oldest daughter's idea and she and my granddaughter and grand daughter-in law have been sharing these each day.

Only two more days of this so enjoy.
#10 Contrast, I started my art /creative life many many years ago with just black and white, penc and pen and inks. It's been a long journey but still black and white rule.

Day 9 of the Inchie challenge: Doorway. I had fairy doors on my mind and thought that might make a fun entry. #inchiechallenge #doorway #mindfulartstudio 🎨

Doorways.....I was surprised to find all the doorways/portals. Even in the cut out pieces!

Day 8 of the Inchie challenge: Dots. I decided to do a little something different. I hole-punched some random dots, added another layer and colored that so that I could have two views when I rotated the top! #inchiechallenge #dots #mindfulartstudio 🎨

In #mycreativeweek I’ve been taking part in #mindfulartstudio #inchiechallenge and also trying to sketch snowdrops despite the poor weather!

I'm doing the #inchiechallenge again this year. Starting with 2/3, these are the first 6 days. I'm having fun and at least doodling something every day! #art #mindfulartstudio #doodle #zendoodle

Day 7 of the Inchie challenge: Braided. I was thinking of strings for braiding and how they can tangle. #inchiechallenge #braided #mindfulartstudio 🎨
