1. Make less fabric cards - I did make less 4" X 6" greeting cards. I produced only 35 this year. This goal was so that I could devote more time to other types of art. However, I also made 58 2"X 3" fabric cards.
2. Do more watercolour or drawn cards. I ended up making 52 watercolour greeting cards which I have posted here in the past and 10 watercolour 4" X 6" paintings of our kayak trip this summer which you have also seen on this blog in the past.
3. Do at least 2 fabric art quilts. Well, this goal was not met. I did get one art quilt done which took me from April until December to complete. I thought if I made them smaller they would be done quicker but the opposite seems to be true. The smaller the the completed size, the smaller the fabric pieces, the more time it takes. I am happy I got one done.
4. Do at least 2 acrylic paintings. I met this goal with the painting of "The Calm of the Day" which hangs in our pastor's office and "Four Canoes" which I still have.
5. Take an art course. I actually took 2 art courses. One was Portrait painting and the other was Acrylic painting.
6. Experiment with dying my own fabric. I did experiment with rust dying which I will have to revisit since I didn't think it was as successful as it could have been. I also experimented with painting fabric as well as dying it. So I may have to keep this goal on my list for next year to become more confident in this technique.
7. Keep a garden sketch book. I have also met this goal although the sketch book is not yet complete. I'll keep it going next year as well.
In conclusion, my goals were achievable and helped me to focus this year so I'll try to challenge myself a little more for 2019.
Besides what I have listed above, I also completed four baby portraits with one unfinished as yet.
