On the 1st of August 2015 I started a new project, using the hashtag #10minsbeforebed. My plan was to carve out ten minutes, in every day, before I went to bed, to create a piece of art, and post t to Instagram using that hashtag.

When I started I didn't honestly think I'd finish the week, never mind the month, but I did. And then I kept going. And going. And every day since, no matter what, I've created a piece of art every day. Sometimes more than one. Sometimes (often) it's taken more than 10 minutes. But along side making me a better artist, it's been a lifeline. It's kept me going when all about me was going to hell. And though every day the art I do is for me, I've been gratified by others liking it too. And delighted when the occasional purchase request has been made. So I've decided to take a pop up shop approach here. As a way to manage these requests. And to see how things go.

If you'd like to follow along with my progress, you can find me on Instagram as pixeldiva or use the hashtag #10minsbeforebed.
