This is often the case among artists as we look back on our progress over the year. We celebrate the things we achieved, progressed in and became more skilled at. But we often think of the skills we're yet to develop and resolve to work on that in the new year.
In keeping with this spirit, the theme this month is New Years Resolutions. We're going to challenge you to embrace new crafts and skills you've always wanted to have a go at, but have never gotten around to.
Because I'm slightly late in kicking this off, and I'd like to give you as much time as possible to delve into new crafts, this is going to go over two months and be split into two parts. You can enter one deviation for each part, and with twice the entries there will of course be twice the winners!
Here's everything you need to know:

Theme
As always, a small description of how you interpreted the theme might help us 'get' what you've done.
The theme for January/February is "New Years Resolutions".
Part 1: Honing a new skill
Think to the craft that you are most skilled at or consider you 'main' craft. What is a new skill or area of this craft that you have been wanting to develop? Step outside your comfort zone and challenge yourself with something beyond your current skill level!

Part 2: Discovering a new craft
You are required to craft something outside the genre of craft(s) you normally stick to. Ideally this should be a craft you've never tried before, but we will accept crafts you've seldom tried and don't have significant skill at prior to the challenge. Do feel free to tap into the enormous wealth of artisan crafts tutorials for the challenge, but if you use one credit the source. Any entries with uncredited resources will be immediately disqualified.
