I'm excited to participate this year. I'll be working on a few projects, which I chose with the intention of helping me focus on my mental health. Should be a fun time!
I am participating for the first time this year. I look forward to it and hoping to see the community creatives and would like to see whatās I am at the end of the project .. exciting times ahead
This is also my first year participating. IŹ»m trying to let go of the notion that I can do this "wrong." IŹ»ve chosen three small projects, all centered on building stronger writing and creative practices/habits. My partner is engaging in the #100DayProject with me too. WeŹ»ve made it a household affair!
Thank you for the encouragement- and speaking of which (that wasnāt even on purpose!;) thatās the theme for my 100 Day Project, āEncouragementā- and right now that form will be via my SiDEWAYS comic strip:) (a happily amateur endeavor:) looking forward to seeing everyoneās Days:)
I did 100 days last year, and after several different starts, I got caught up to speed pretty quick. Since I am a fiber artist, I thought mini fabric collages would be doable, as I have bags of interesting textured fabrics, and sew most days. I got bored with the first couple of attempts. I decided to limit my palette color to black and white...didn't excite me, and turned to colored pencils and a blank sketch book only to remember I rarely use colored pencils, and find them too slow for my racing ideas. Finally, I was flipping through old art notes of things I wanted to know more about and decided I would try neurography. I instantly loved it, got caught up in it, and made several to make up for the days I had missed. I was now sleeping in the guest bedroom while hubby was in the master with a case of Covid. Every night I would set my stack of 3x3" plain watercolor cards,paints, brush and small jar of water next to my bed. Dogs immediately jumped to nestle beside me, knowing it was bedtime and started snoring. Using the small lamp next to me on the nightstand, I started to draw my first neurography art (I had already researched the art and science connection as an art therapist). This 100 day project gave me the time and purpose to now fully explore it. I wrote the date on each card when completed, and put them safely in a wicker basket. I found the more I did, the more I used different textural designs toward the end of the 100 days, some even had gold paint on them! Golly gee, what fun! I have shared my basketfull to motivate some of my art guild members too. I am ready to begin a new avenue of exploration this year of black micron pen designs on pages of abstract watercolor shapes. On your mark, get set, go!
I am excited! I am looking forward to starting tomorrow. I decided that I need to step out of my shadows and record a video daily for 100 days on Substack or one of my social media platforms. I need to become more comfortable in front of the camera.
Hi I really don't want to go back on Instagram. I get sucked into seeking likes and get lost in content. I'm doing Drawing from the right side of the brain workbook so I'm just gonna have to support myself!
My second year. Last yr a little collage every day. Go well all.
This will be my first year participating. Iām starting small, so it feels doable. Iām excited to see where it leads me!

I have about 50 3āx3ā watercolor paper squares cut for tiny landscapesā to get me started. Iāve been experimenting a bit.
First time, so we'll see how it goes! Thanks for all the inspiration leading upā and the āpermission' to change projects and/or 'fail'!
Awesome, Lisa! Thank you for your nice note, Iām glad it was helpful!
Year 3 for me. Looking forward to 100 days of tondo and trees and/or whatever my original concept morphs into...

Are you doing it for your project? Or just fitting it in? X
Iām doing portraits for my project so Iāll be gradually working through it as I go!
This is year three for me. Iām going smaller this year for a change. I work in mixed media.
I am a new participant. Thank you for doing this!
Welcome! And thank you!
I just assembled pieces of a crochet amigurumi today. Lots of fun!
