The 100 Day Project 2023 - A Journey of Creative Exploration

 

As a mixed media artist, I love finding new ways to challenge myself and develop my skills. That's why I decided to take part in another 100 Day Project.  I committed to creating 100 collages and sharing them on a weekly basis.

This project will be a journey of creative exploration allowing me to experiment with different techniques and materials, using up my supplies and creating collages that I might not have thought to make otherwise.

One of the things I love about the project is the sense of community the challenge creates. I am joining the hashtag #100daysofusingfodder created by Wendy of Willa Wanders on Instagram. I will be sharing my collages on Instagram and it will be great to see the work of other artists/creatives who are also taking part in the challenge. You can feel a real sense of connection to the creative community.

Of course, there will be challenges along the way, some days you might struggle to find the time or motivation to create, and other days you might start to judge and compare yourself with others, but the beauty of the 100 Day Project is that it's a marathon, not a sprint. It's about showing up every day, even when it's hard, and allowing yourself to be imperfect and vulnerable in your creativity.

Looking back on my previous 100 Day projects, I can see how much I've grown as an artist. I've developed new techniques, honed my skills, and gained confidence in my creative voice. But more than that, I've learned that the process of creating is just as important as the finished product. It's about the journey, not just the destination.

I eventually did 50 days for the Embroidery project, but I was fine with what I had done.

For the 100 Days of Pastels, I created 100 Pastel Paintings

You can see the Videos I created with the pastels HERE

For the Foam Stamps I created 100 handmade foam stamps to use in my creative projects.

If you're considering taking part in the 100 Day Project, I encourage you to go for it. Whether you're an experienced artist or a beginner, this project offers a unique opportunity to challenge yourself and grow your skills. And who knows, you might just discover something new about yourself and your creative potential along the way.

So start where you are, grab your art supplies and join the journey. I can't wait to see where it takes you.
