My Fun a Day project idea involves using craft and sewing supplies that belonged to my mother. She passed in July just over a year after being diagnosed with ovarian cancer. I cared for her during her last months in Hospice.

Valerie Hazzard “The Return of Frown A Day”
My Fun A Day project will be revisiting my first project from 10 years ago, Frown A Day. It was a photograph of a different person frowning every day. This year I will draw each of those photos and title them with the food item I would share with that person (or persons) if we weren't in a global pandemic.

Ricki Truitt “Too Hip To Be Square”
My Fun-A-Day project will be crocheting a square a day, so that at the end of the month I will be able to connect the individual ideas and days, into one larger thought and big picture, like the month.

Riva Finkel Brown “Celestial Seasons”
I like to create art from things that I find lying around our house. I also like to make art from found objects.

Samantha Charlton “A March of Mermaids”
My project will be a digital drawing of a mermaid every day. Each one will be of a different design inspired by varying sea creatures. I have always loved fantasy, as well as character design, so I think this project will be a fun challenge for myself!

Sandy Coppersmith “Motion”
Photographs emphasizing motion - using ICM (intentional camera movement), long exposure, objects in motion and etc. * Motion ranges from almost-stillness (light itself is in constant motion at the speed of light) - to small vibrations - to brush-like movement or sweeping motions of either the camera, the object, the light source or a combination thereof.

Sarah Dressler “Gnomes & friends”
I propose to draw & color a gnome and an animal companion each day.

Shanna O'Leary Weiss “Happy Creating”
My Fun A Day art will include an exploration of tools used for creating. Tools will be drawn and painted in various styles.

Steph Patterson “In-Between the Alarms of the Pandemic: A Poem-A-Day”
Inspired by Amanda Gorman and Delaware Fun-A-Day, I have resurrected my love of poetry. I’ve been writing a poem every day in March about my experience so far during the pandemic. My poems are very raw and works in progress, as I try to process the craziness of the last year. It seemed like a lot of alarm bells went off last year and continue to, as we go through this pandemic. Personally, I gave birth to my second child during the beginning of the pandemic, and then faced a whole new health issue later on. Many of my poems have photos in the background that I took during the pandemic, and there are few photos from the “before times.” Delaware Fun-A-Day has been an amazing challenge.

Violet Smith-Beehler “Photos of Now”
One photograph a day of what life is like these days.

Tegan Clark “Fanciful Florals”
