Hi there, How is it Day 70 already?! In my own project, I’m feeling the need for my process to evolve. It’s still “working” but it’s starting to take on a new shape. Things work until they don’t, or until they work differently.
I began the project wanting to reacquaint myself with watercolours after an absence of 27 years (long story) and am probably going to finish it by working on my sketchbook practice. Once again I’m so pleased to have embarked on this project, nothing makes me work so hard or so thoughtfully as this.
I have been doing all different projects in blue and white. Mostly using supplies on hand. I have been right on schedule each day and very proud of myself. I also have tried some processes which I wanted to try for a long time. Including cynotypes ( sun prints) decopauge on shells, collage using shells, and painting with guache. I still have a lot i still want to try, which is good! I might try to go the whole 365!
I have been having a blast with my project. I post every day because it is therapeutic for me. I began with a discussion about genetic mirroring. The two things I have changed are adding commentary with every post and feeling the need to draw a new face every day. I have loved using collage and so I think for the final 30 days I will add remind myself to add some element whether it’s text or an image. It’s been fun being a part of the community.
I'm amazed that I've completed a painting every day for 70 days. I feel like I want to do this every day of my life. I've made a lot of progress, and besides that, I've just come alive in some way.
I’ve been working on a digital scrapbook of a 2019 trip to Ireland. Over 1000 pictures edited and I’m halfway through setting up the book. I thought I could do three travel books in 100 days! Ha ha! I am spending an average of 45 minutes a day (after dinner) and am glad to be moving forward. I also got my husband to practice guitar, piano, or trumpet for 30 minutes a day.
This project has breathed new life into my creativity. Committing to a small piece each day in my art journal (4"x8" pages) makes it very do-able for me. I have a compact
watercolor kit, markers, pens and pencils in a handy zip pouch - the portability has been a key factor. With the warming weather I will go to the beach and create over these last 30 days, and I am committing to working on a larger acrylic still life day by day to finish for Day 100 in addition to my daily pieces. I am loving still lifes and have been very influenced by the work of Mary Fedden. I've also been especially influenced by the wonderful creative people doing this project! Thank you everyone!
My project is to fill a sketchbook/journal during this 100 day project by making an entry each day. So far I’ve managed to do just that. I’m finding some days I have no idea what to do so next time I might give myself more defined parameters. I’ve learned that I can just do something quick for the sake of doing or take more time. It’s up to me.
I am stretching myself in some new ways with layering and using different background patterns...but honestly I want to loosen up a lot more...experiment, take risks. I will say I have become absolutely addicted to creating again. The last time I did this I always felt a bit behind. This year, I have so many projects going at the same time I can post for a few days without a worry. I LOVE being an ARTIST! It took me 58 years to come into my own and do this full time. My art has saved my life through the pandemic. And the 100 day project has really kept me going through some tough times this Winter. I am so so grateful for this process. It is hard to describe....but I KNOW you all feel it too! Isn’t is grand? ❤️
I've actually kept up this time around (mostly). I may miss a day, but I just double up and keep on. I am so surprised at how much I crave the time I spend in the evening working on a drawing. It started out as simply copying samples I find on the internet. I find I get so attentive to the tiny detail that I lose myself for a while and am often surprised by what I end up with. I realize that I'm not required to stay with any one style nor compare myself to anything. It's been really good.

It’s fits and starts I am making more complicated jewelry so it is taking more time to complete but my ability is increasing
