Day 31 – August Arty Challenge – Every Artist Starts Somewhere
And here we are — Day 31. Every Artist Starts Somewhere. Yes, it’s the very same affirmation we started with, and that feels exactly right. Because 31 days ago, somewhere was the beginning; today, somewhere is a completely different place. We’ve played, experimented, made mistakes, discovered things, gone with the flow, tried new ideas and, most importantly, we’ve kept showing up. So perhaps this isn’t really the end at all — it’s another starting point.
Thank you so so much to everyone who has joined me on this little arty adventure. Whether you made something every single day, dipped in and out when life allowed, or simply watched and enjoyed the ride, I hope these few minutes of creativity have brought you some pleasure, confidence and precious time to yourself. I have absolutely loved seeing what you’ve made, reading your comments and watching this wonderful creative community encourage one another along the way.
And judging by the response, I have a sneaking suspicion this may not be the last time we do something like this. I’ve already got ideas bubbling away for where we could go next — perhaps a little deeper, learning more, exploring more and creating together again. It may have to be a paid-for arty adventure next time — turns out editors like to eat too! 😂 — but if you’re up for another creative journey with me, then watch this space.
For now though, thank you for these 31 days. We started somewhere. Look how far we’ve come. And who knows where we might start next? ❤️

Really enjoyed following the arty challenge, some super ideas, thank you Barbara so much for doing this. Have a nice bank holiday.
What a fabulous challenge this has been! I know I speak for many in saying thank you Barb and who knows where this will take us next. Xx
This arty challenge has been great, thank you Barbara, I need to catch up on a few of the days, and that will be a pleasure to come. xx
Thank you Barbara for all your hard work. It has been so enjoyable and I am filled with admiration.. Can’t say which is my favourite as they are all good.
Take care.
Thank you Barbara for a fabulous month of inspiration. So many hints and tips along the way.
I haven’t been able to craft along, but have thoroughly enjoyed watching the videos and can’t wait to get started now.
I shall certainly be signing up to any new online courses.
Thank you again xx
I have so enjoyed and looked forward to watching, every day, these videos of you creating all those small but perfectly formed pieces of art. Thank you.
I may not have been able to have a go at recreating your artwork but your enthusiasm did get my mojo going to get back to my crafting space so I thank you again. xx
Thank you so much Barbara for creating the arty challenge for us. I have enjoyed watching and trying out your ideas and am now repeating them with my granddaughter. She loves it too.
Thank you again. x
Thank you for an incredible month of arty challenges. I have learned so many new to me ideas, tips and tricks.
Barbara and team-tremendous thank you for all your work, time and energy creating the arty challenge. It was so exciting to receive a daily email and watch the video for the challenge.
Loved the background music.
Truly grateful.
I’ve really enjoyed your August challenge Barbara. Thank you for giving so much inspiration and instruction for free. The discount on products was much appreciated too, and the camaraderie generated by the challenge was an extra bonus.
I understand why your next arty adventure may need to be a paid event. Going deeper, learning and exploring more sounds great. Count me in!
Thank you so much Barb for all the effort and inspiration you poured into the August Arty Challenge. I love that you have used the same card that you started off with. I will not have time to finish my catch up before we go on our little mini holiday on Friday, but look forward to doing it when we come back. Have a good day everyone. Bx
Thank you so much for your inspiration. I have really enjoyed joining you every day and today I have really missed your challenge.
have a good break
I’m late in replying but wanted to say thank you Barbara for everyday in August. It was so lovely to have a purpose each day to get arty although some days I watched and need to catch up! Congratulations on becoming Grandparents too, exciting times
