Re: Index Card A Day
School kids and my boss still use them. He also uses a Rolodex, preferring it to his Outlook address book.mpizzazz wrote:I wonder if they are called something else in the UK.

Thanks, Monica!
Re: Index Card A Day
I use my Rolodex everyday at work. Especially when the computers go down and I have to look up the phone number to call the help desk

Re: Index Card A Day
How fun, Kathryn! I really like that quote.
Index cards are alive and well in the film industry - lots of writers use them for cataloging the various plot points in a script, and then moving them around on a big bulletin board to figure out what order the scenes will go in. And then the Director swoops in when he gets the script and re-orders it all to his satisfaction - using his own set of index cards LOL. Producers, Assistant Directors and Location Managers use them to schedule and re-schedule the shoot, moving the various scenes around on a big calendar taped on the wall. My own little version of that for my office is post-it notes affixed to a dry-erase calendar; I don't need to write as much on each one.

Re: Index Card A Day
It's nice to know that people still do things the old fashioned way with pen and paper and that it all isn't done on phones.
I've done a few more of the warmups. It's a great way to see a technique and then try it out quickly like one of Kristina Werner's recent posts on watercoloring through a stencil for the Alpha card then doing the letters in white Sharpie.
The map looks better since I went over the black pen that washed out during the painting. The title card was another quick technique using versamark with pan pastels.

Re: Index Card A Day
Thanks, they were fun to do-without overthinking it and dragging out everything I own.

Today's prompt, Sunrise.
From one of my sister's favourite books. (How many millions of times did I read it to her?!)

Re: Index Card A Day
Oh, that's a fun one, Kathryn!
Re: Index Card A Day
Kathryn your card put a smile on my face. That must have been a sweet book to read to your sister. And your other two cards are wonderful too.
Marianne, awesome work! Really like the "I can" card and it's colors.
You two are great inspirations.

Today's prompt is "lost and found". I cut a simple mask and used distress inks.
Keitha and Marianne, where are yours?
