New Artwork & Blog Scheduling Update
A new piece of my artwork has been posted at crescendoh.com – hooray! This month’s Design Team project is a canvas-based mixed media piece. I started with the Danita & Me kit, and put my own twist on the project. Rather than use the front of the kit’s canvas, I turned it over and used the back! I love that the same kit yields different results for each and every person that uses it. We’re all unique, and these kits (and the related example projects on the crescendoh.com website) illustrate that perfectly.
In addition to using the back of the canvas, I incorporated two of my favorite mixed media elements into the piece: alphabet stamps/text and masking tape! Please click here to see the piece at crescendoh.com, to read the instructions, and to learn how I made it.
Twice, Instead of Thrice
I’m nearly six months into this blog, and am really enjoying the process. There’s been a bit of trial and error, and I’ve made little tweaks along the way. For example, I’ve let a feature or two fade away, but maintain a regular posting schedule in an effort to keep your interest and to keep creating and challenging myself.
I will continue to post regularly, and will continue with my mixture of “writing, art, and life in general”, but will move from three posts per week to two. Until I’m able to switch from full-time corporate to full-time creative this will help me maintain a better life balance. That said, I’ll be posting on Tuesdays and Thursdays.
If you have any questions, comments, or suggestions, please post a comment on this blog post. For example, if you love a particular type of feature (recipes, haiku, travel, ethnic markets), and would like to see more, please let me know. If you’re too shy to post a comment, please get in touch through the comments page here. Your message will come directly to me via email.
Thank you for following my blog – I appreciate your time and your interest!
Warm regards,
Melody

Schedules, and Features, and Giveaways! Oh My!
Greetings!
Now that my blog has been up and running for nearly two weeks, I thought I’d publish a post about some odds and ends – some things that are currently happening and some things that are coming up!
Schedule – what & when…
I’ll generally be posting on Tuesday, Thursday (unless it’s a Self-Portrait Friday week), and Sunday. There may be variations from time to time, but that’s my plan. I’ll include a post from each major blog category each week (writing, art, and life in general), though I’m not assigning a particular category to a set day each week.
Monthly Features – the list will be growing…
For now my monthly features include recipes and haiku, and I’ll post at least one of each per month. Other regular features will emerge soon, and will likely include travel write-ups and ethnic markets, and my Remarkable Women Series. My first Remarkable Woman will be featured later this month, so stay tuned!
Comments & Suggestions – please share!
Please feel free to comment on this “Schedules, and Features, and Giveaways! Oh My!” blog post if you’d like to share what you’ve enjoyed so far, or if you have suggestions on what you’d like to see more of in the coming months. Alternately, if you’re shy, you may email me privately through my contact page. As for commenting on other posts, please do! I look forward to hearing from you.
Subscribers – you’re appreciated!
THANK YOU to everyone who has already subscribed, I really appreciate your interest and support! Please note that the emailed versions of the posts don’t look nearly as pretty as the posts do on the www.melodynunez.com website itself, so please click the link at the end of the emailed post to link to the site. That way you can enjoy the full effect, and are in the right place to add a comment if you’re so inclined.
Not Subscribed? Goodness gracious!
If you’re a regular reader of this blog (but haven’t yet subscribed) I really appreciate you too, but I have to ask: what are you waiting for?! I hope you’ll subscribe today. It’s quick, painless, and only subscribers will be entered in the giveaways I’ll be holding. I’ll be giving away goodies from time to time and my first giveaway will be coming up soon.
Tell you more about the giveaway? Okay!
For my first giveaway, one lucky winner will receive a set of my handmade, signed photographic note cards (a pack of five) when I hit one hundred blog subscribers, and the drawing could be soon. So join in the fun, and subscribe today! You could win my pink water lily cards, which are blank inside and ready for you to add your personal sentiments. (I’ll also have an alternate and more “manly” set ready in case a male wins and would prefer a different image.)
Thank you for being a part of my blog, everyone! I look forward to many adventures with you in the coming years…
Warm regards,
Melody
p.s. We had some technical difficulties with yesterday’s blog post – so sorry! Please read Welcome to Self-Portrait Friday! when you have a moment. Thank you.
