Christiana in Wood Heights, Missouri is on a quest to capture a dragon every day for a year in The Dragon Project...
Why did you decide to do this project? After having my creative self on a starvation diet of strictly functional creativity for years, I craved something more. I longed to push past adding artistic touches to my day to day needs and jump headlong into exploring, learning and creating just for fun. I had just made a deal with myself to start taking a bit of time to play each month when I came across Noah Scalin's book. I told myself there was no way I'd have time for something everyday, but I still couldn't leave without the book. So after some encouragement from my husband, I leapt into The Dragon Project.
How has doing a daily project affected your life? Everyday has become an adventure. I'm learning how to use technology, trying out a variety of mediums and seeking out opportunities to do new activities. You never know where a new dragon will pop up. I've met them geocaching in the woods, shopping with friends, at local sketchcrawls and even had strangers tip me off to where I might find others. I've found that I'm more excited to learn than afraid of failing. That in itself is so exciting!!! I love that I'm making new friends and I look forward to being inspired each day. It's like waking up knowing that you're going to receive a present. You can imagine how that's changed the way I see my surroundings! I haven't been doing this challenge quite 2 months yet and already I can't picture my life without it.
