Last year I started the drawings for fun and for the challenge. The illustrations morphed into the inspiration for three children’s books. I’m going with a different theme this year and am excited to see where that will take me.
This year, I am focusing on the product (a book), so I’ll be more diligent about writing every day to get that finished. I’ll also be practicing my art by illustrating scenes from my stories. Very excited to get started!
I’m diving deep into Birds & Botanicals. Sketching every day and developing skills with color, media, and technique. No product in mind, except perhaps to fill a sketchbook or complete a set of artist trading cards for each of the Bs. Will work outdoors, on travel, etc., not just in my art space indoors.
Last year I focused on a new art form. This year I am choosing to focus on the book I'm writing to help it move into a more automatic go to process. I'm 8 chapters (45-50pgs) and I'd really like to complete it!
Thank you for this post. I had in mind to create a page a day combining drawing, collage and cutwork. A test week quickly showed me that this was way too ambitious so I was not going to participate at all. After reading this I am now going to focus on a finished book at the end of 100 days. I'm excited to start!
This year I plan to have fun with mixed media and my Cricut. I used to do pen and wood burning but I shattered my right elbow in a fall so I’m trying to find what I can replace it with. I’m excited that there will be other people to talk to. I’m having trouble moving from techniques I have used all my life
This year I’m doing 100 Days of meditations “On” something. For example, “On Patience.” They will be short writings including lessons I’ve learned over the years (and, in some cases, keep needing to learn). My hopes would be to publish a small book with the work at the end.
My nephew graduates from high school on May 31st, the 98th day. For his sister's graduation, I made her a scrapbook of my view of her life so far. She loved it. I want to do the same for my nephew and have started, but have much left to document, so I hope to scrapbook everyday and complete at least 30 pages before his graduation. The last two days, I plan to scrapbook about their scrapbooks. That will complete the project for their books and mine.
This year I am creating drawings and journal entries for a project that has been peculating in my mind since 2016. I hope to create some final works to go into an art exhibition in my local area. Ive already started a journal with photo references and thoughts to help me stay focused and complete the 100 days this year. Previous years I did not complete the whole 100 days. Hoping this is the year I complete the whole 100 days.
I choose "all of the above," lol. I need an outlet when I'm not working, and art journaling is my jive. Of course I want to practice and learn new skills, so this sounds like a great opportunity to do just that. Plus, I often need a prompt as motivation to get things done. I also have sooo much fodder now, that I need to turn some of my massive paper/art into something.
I have a zero rate of success in endeavors like this, so I’m going to go very slowly. One task each day to start weaving again. Working on repairing my big loom, warping a small project, weaving a few picks, working on a portable project if I’m traveling. Washing a finished project, sketching and idea. I’m hopeful that, like the one push-up model of habit formation, if I do something, I’ll want to do more.

Last year I did a postcard sized watercolour painting every day. I ended up selling them and raising $1800 for charity.
I'm going to learn the in's and out's of my Cricut.

Let’s do this
So far I’m having trouble getting the newsletter, understanding Substack and why I need the app. Could someone explain it to me.
