devastating the obvious

Makeunder (Part I)

Posted on | January 17, 2010 | View Comments

I recently found a website called makeundermylife (ran by jewelry designer, Jess Constable).  The idea behind the blog is–briefly, in my words–not to get a makeover but to makeunder your life.  She gives steps for this process: create a vision, exfoliate stuff, identify intentions, reflect and evolve.  (Feel free to run on over to her site to fully understand.)  It’s not a new concept, but I like the terminology she’s used.  It’s a great beginning-of-the-year thing to do.

Currently, I’m on step one (and I’m doing step three at the same time).  I’m creating an inspiration/vision board.  I did this once in high school, and I made smaller versions last year.  Here’s the work I’ve done so far this time around:

So I’ve cut things out of magazines and papers.

…and assembled my art supplies.  I love a good craft project.

I’ve also put kraft paper (like the stuff brown paper grocery bags are made of) on one of my bedroom walls.  That’s where I’ll be posting everything.

I’ll keep y’all updated on the progress in a series of posts.  I encourage you to give it a go, too!
