I just found out today about #ColorWeek that Teresa Barroso throws to celebrate summer. I’m not a summer person myself but thought maybe I could get back into creating (and especially drawing and painting) with this 1-week-project. Today’s color is #LemonYellow.

I decided to draw one bear a day. Why bears?

1. I love bears
2. I started a series called #100bears a few years ago. The goal was to paint 100 bears digitally to get myself acquainted with digital drawing on the iPad and with learning to draw bears
3. I haven’t been painting for far too long and getting back into it needs an element of soothing so I don’t panic (I get anxious easily)

To keep the style similar I only use one standard ProCreate brush for all of my illustrations for this mini project.

Now may I introduce my first bear for this challenge! Look at her face! How happy she is

I came up with #MayCrochetBuffet because I can’t crochet at the moment because of tendinitis. I miss crocheting so I thought about doing small quiet crochet-related things in the meantime. The plan is to create a buffet of crochet project ideas for the future as well as a buffet of crochet-related things to do in May. If you want to join this challenge please adapt it in any way you want. There can be plenty of reasons to pause a craft or creative project and it can help to find joyful supportive things to do during that pause.

On my blog I shared some ideas and prompts:

1/2 The new year is fresh, young, and full of possibilities which makes it the perfect time to start something silly together. 😁
As announced back in December, I’d love to create a ridiculous calendar page every month, featuring silly horses in all their glory.
Remember, you have until JAN 20. to submit your ideas for the FEB issue!

Happy Solstice!

Here is a calendar with all month-long creative* challenges I could think of to help you choose and prepare in 2026: https://echopublishing.wordpress.com/2025/12/22/monthly-creative-challenges-for-2026/

Enjoy! If there are any challenges that are missing from the list or that I forgot, please let me know and I'll add them. (I'm avoiding inktober and nanowrimo because of their recent genAI approaches & policies).

* creative can mean anything from drawing to songwriting, zine-making to tarot card reading, and embroidering to junkjournaling (and lots of other things).
