A daily creative process

The #100dayproject has passed the halfway mark… thank goodness!  Today I'm posting my projects from Days 41-60.  If you're interested, you can see the earlier posts here:  Days 1-20 and Days 21-40.

What it's about

It was dreamed up by Ella Luna. Here's how she describes it:

What Is the 100-Day Project? It’s a celebration of process that encourages everyone to participate in 100 days of making. The great surrender is the process; showing up day after day is the goal. For the 100-Day Project, it’s not about fetishizing finished products—it’s about the process.

Sounds great, right? I committed to do something creative (anything, really) every day for 100 days.  Then I pop the photo up on Instagram with a hashtag for the entire project (#100dayproject) as well as a unique hashtag for my own project (mine is #100daysofsmallsquares).

The #100dayproject is daunting, I'll admit.

But a certain stubborn-ness is a good thing as it's making me keep going.  And I really am having fun creating something every day.  I'm making square art that ranges from 2″ to 4″ in size. I've used a lot of stamps and it's getting more challenging now to avoid repetition.  So far, so good, but I confess I have had to look back at the prior posts to be sure I'm not forgetting what I've already used.

That last one on the bottom right was meaningful as I made it two Sundays ago, the day of the Orlando massacre.  I was art journaling  and thought the eye stamp was a significant representation of someone praying for all the people who endured such horrible pain and loss.

So, sixty down….. forty to go.  I love making art for so many reasons.  This has been quite a challenge.

Mixed Media Art Membership Group

I host the Mixed Media Art Membership Group, a monthly membership that includes facilitated learning through a Project of the Month (with closed-captioned video instruction), Themed Challenge of the Month, a live Zoom Create-Along Session where we all work on our art together, and lots of resources such as the Project Vault, Technique Vault and Resource Library. Best of all is the supportive and inspiring community we enjoy in our private Facebook Group and the gated private forum on the site where I host the videos and resources.  

The group is only open for new members a few times a year, so please add your name to the waiting list to be the first to know when the doors open again. Click here to add your name to the waiting list.
