I was reminded about the #100DayProject today, and decided to join in the fun this year! What is it? A time to dedicated 100 days to your creativity, perhaps to learn a new technique or experiment with a new medium, perhaps to take a creative class you’ve been dreaming about and putting off. Learn about the start of the project here.
You can spend 10 minutes a day or 10 hours a week, or whatever you wish. Yes, you can skip days; there are no rules, no competition, no cost. It’s simply a time to play, create, and have fun! Anyone can participate, artist or otherwise.
Pick any project you want, or a few different ones. I’ve decided to divide the 100 days into these 25-day segments (I’ve added a few samples of each subject for inspiration):
25 Days of Paper Bag Projects
25 Days of Tissue Box Projects
25 Days of Recycled garment Projects
25 Days of Pull Tab Projects
I will aim to focus on each topic for 25 days, though may decide to mix them up on occasion. I may or may not make 25 of each kind of project, and will allow myself freedom as I go. Who wants to join me? I’ll post each project here and encourage you to share yours on social media as well, if you wish. Be sure to use the hashtag, #100DayProject. The kickoff is tomorrow, February 23, and you can start any time. Have tons of fun!
