This project was based on an idea for an ‘untraditional calendar’. In this case, I created a women’s calendar that is centered on mental health and self-care. First, the person self-identifies different characteristics for negative (blue) , ok (green) , and good days (yellow). They then identify ideas of activities that can improve their days if they are feeling negative or ok. One they have identified these, they track each day throughout the month with the blood cell (red) day makers according to the characteristics above. Once they reach the end of the month they count they number of negative, ok, and good days. If there is there is a majority of either of the types of days they try to adapt their day-to-day activities (as recorded before) to improve their monthly happiness.
The materials used for this project included: felt, embroidery thread, and Adobe Illustrator.
