It’s Wednesday, which means it’s time to see what everyone’s been making, building, tinkering with, or staring at while waiting for it to tell you what it wants to become. 😂 What’s on your creative table this week? It can be a brand-new idea, something halfway finished, a piece you’ve been slowly picking away at, or even something that’s currently in the “I have absolutely no idea where I’m going with this” stage. Because a work in progress doesn’t have to be impressive to be worth sharing~ progress is the point~! 👇 Drop a photo, screenshot, sketch, messy desk, or little update in the comments and show us what you’re working on! And while you’re here, take a peek at everyone else’s WIPs and leave a little encouragement. 💛 What are you making this week?

A cohesive color palette isn't about limiting your creativity~ Consistency is the goal to keep everything cohesive. Whether you're designing a website, packaging your artwork, building a portfolio, or posting on social media, a thoughtful palette helps your work feel connected~even before someone recognizes your name. A simple palette is often all you need: 💎 Primary Color The color people will associate most with your work or brand. 🌿 Secondary Color Supports your primary color and adds flexibility. ✨ Accent Color Used sparingly to draw attention to important elements like buttons, links, or highlights. ⚪ Light Neutral Creates breathing room and keeps layouts feeling clean. ⚫ Dark Neutral Provides contrast and improves readability. You shouldn't try to use every color equally~ Aim to use each color intentionally~! When the same colors appear consistently across your website, business cards, packaging, social posts, and promotional materials, they become part of your visual identity. People begin to recognize your work before they even read your name. That's the power of a cohesive color palette~! Here's a look at an alternate version of ACI if we had taken a different direction with our brand colors. Revisiting these concepts was a lot of fun. Some of these palettes are from the very beginning of ACI, before our visual identity really started to take shape. In the end, we intentionally chose a foundation of black, white, and neutral tones with gemstone accents. Our goal was simple: let the art take center stage. We wanted our branding to frame the work~ and not to compete with it. For us~ the strongest design decision wasn't choosing more color but knowing when to use less and how~ and an image of ACI's actual brand colors and use ideas~ ^_^

It's been a very much so progress over perfection week on my end~ but~ It’s Wednesday again, which means it’s time to celebrate the work that’s still becoming~! Whether you’re sketching, sculpting, writing, sewing, carving, coding, gardening, baking, or experimenting with something completely new~ we want to see what you’re working on. Finished isn’t the goal today~ PROGRESS is~! Share your current WIP in the comments: 🖌️ What are you creating? 🌱 What’s going well? 🤔 Where are you feeling stuck (if anywhere)? This community isn’t built on perfection~ We are building it on showing up, sharing the process, and helping each other grow~! Let’s fill this thread with works in progress~ We can’t wait to see what you’re making~! 💙

Happy Wednesday everyone~! ✨ It’s time for our favorite midweek tradition: What are you working on? Whether you’re: 🎨 sketching your next masterpiece, 🧵 sewing, 📸 photographing, 💻 designing, 🪵 woodworking, 🧶 knitting, 📚 writing, 🌱 gardening, 🎮 developing a game, or just organizing your creative chaos (cough cough... currently me 🤣)~ We want to see it! Remember, a work in progress doesn’t have to be polished or near finished~! So much magic and valuable conversations happen before something is even near done. Share the messy middle, ask for feedback if you’d like it, celebrate a small win, or tell us about a challenge you’re trying to solve~! Every finished piece was once an unfinished one~!!! Drop a photo, a screenshot, a sketch, or just tell us: 👉 What are you creating this week?

What are you working on this week? Big project or tiny sketch. Half-finished painting or finally organizing your workspace. Product photography, writing, glazing ceramics, carving prints, sewing, gardening~ it all counts. Progress isn’t only measured by what’s finished. Sometimes the most important work happens in the messy middle, where ideas are still taking shape. Drop a photo, share a screenshot, or simply tell us what you’re creating this week. We’d love to celebrate the work in progress right alongside you. What’s on your workbench today? 🎨
