The #100 Day Project Update

Sitting down over the weekend for a little bit to play catch up on my #100DayProject. I’m a tad bit behind, which is fine, but I wanted to share with you the cards that I created during my artsy session on Saturday. Hey, you gotta take the time when you can find it, right?

We are a little over a month and not quite halfway through the #100DayProject. If you recall, I’m making 100 playing card sized paintings to store in a tin to keep me inspired if I need that creative jolt! As I peruse through my cards so far, a smile comes to my face because I love all the different little paintings and pieces of artwork. Most of my art is watercolor, but some pieces I grabbed whatever was on my desk and used that. Like these markers that I’ve had in my stash for about 600 years. I used those in a few sections of recent cards and I’m so glad I did! Lotsa fun using materials that aren’t used regularly.

And as I do this I am also able to find materials that don’t work anymore. Like those markers I just mentioned. Several of them were dried up, so into the trash can they went. It’s a great way to go through my stash of supplies and get rid of the crap that doesn’t quite work anymore. One of these days my stash will dwindle and I’ll be able to add to it. But I’ve committed myself to not buy any more pens, pencils, markers, paints, etc. until I get rid of or use up what I already have. Sure, I say that now but then if I walk into Michaels and something just happens to jump into my basket, what am I gonna do!
