I had so much fun with the first Christmas skeleton, I had to make a whole band. Maybe we call them Skelly Bells?

#ArtAdventCalendar Guidelines
Art can be almost anything. Paintings, drawings, sculpture, textiles, beading, photography, digital. If you think it's art and it beautifies the timeline then post it. No NFTs or Al art please
PLEASE USE ALT TEXT
It does not matter if you "posted it last year".
You don't need to be a "professional" artist. If you make art at any experience level and want to show it off and make others happy, this is the event
Art must be original and it must be yours or from a family member with permission. Please donβt post works from other artists, old masters etc
Art does NOT have to be seasonal. It can be pretty much any subject, but please keep it family friendly-ish
Please don't cross post with just links to other platforms. Most links to other social media sites don't show with images at all and if they do they are usually thumbnails
Please do not post prices or use BUY NOW kinds of posts. We are bombarded with hard sell at this time of year and that's not what this is about. This is not meant to be a sales pitch. You can post links to your website if you like
Please share posts and follow participating artists. This is both an exercise to build a following of art lovers and to build a supportive community of fellow artists. If you like someone else's work, let them know!
As "organizer" I do my best to share all art during the month but if I miss a post, please don't take it as an insult or commentary on your work. There are a lot of posts and I will miss a few. Note that I won't share posts that contain prices or buy now content
Post daily or as much as you can with the hashtag #ArtAdvent Calendar There is no specified time to post. It's a worldwide event so time you post isn't that important
Don't worry if you miss a day or two. Post even if you only have 1 thing to show off that makes the timeline brighter
While the event dates are the 1st to the 24th, feel free to continue to post until the end of the month if you like
Are You Ready???
