echoes

 

if you're a fan of the noticing project (and i am a huge fan), you've surely seen the beautiful way that heather and alicia are doing their daily noticing while alicia's camera is away for repair.  and have you seen this?  it's bits of heather's polaroid project from last summer.  these two projects inspired me so.  so, so, so.  so much so that i wanted to begin my own artist's journal of sorts.

and then i found out that heather and alicia had inspired rachel, too - that she was thinking the same thing.  and after the littlest bit of the most wonderful conversation back and forth with these three women/artists/friends, echoes: a collaborative journal was born.

heather, alicia, rachel, and i will be keeping this collaborative journal through the months of july and august.  capturing moments from our days, and days from this summer season, with images and words.  we'll be posting almost every day, and our entries will be varied in medium, in content, in many ways.  but the object remains constant: to capture the moments that inspire.

and.  we encourage you, our friends, to join us.  capture your own moments, your own days, and post them to the echoes flickr group.  won't that be a wonderful archive of summer (or winter, if you're in the southern hemisphere!) days from all around our neighborhood?  

i hope you'll visit us at the journal, and on flickr.  i hope you'll consider capturing your memories in bits of words and imagery.  i hope you'll share.  and most of all, i hope you'll savor each moment of this season that is already flying on by.

the four initials of the four of you. at 4am when i typed it up in my blog, it struck me. this project, echoes. to HEAR my own voice, to notice. sorry, might sound a little too over the top, but i am in a slight creative funk, and this seems to have rescued me a bit! thanks emily.

I have already loved what you four have been putting together the past several days. I don't know if I'll get a chance to play. But there is always a special thing that happens when you combine creative, collaborative projects and such amazing like minded women.
