The 100 Day Project

I'm not all all sure that this is necessarily one of my better ideas but I decided to participate in The 100 Day Project.

The aim is to choose something creative to do every day for 100 days.  That's 14 weeks!  What was I thinking?

I decided I would make 26 zines - one for every letter of the alphabet.  The idea is to make each zine about me and my identity. If you want to know more about how to make a Zine lok at this blog post.  If you would like to see some of the Zines I've made in the past put Zine in the search box on this page and it will show you all my posts on Zines.

Day 1: I put moulding paste through an alphabet stencil onto an A4 sheet of cartridge paper.  And then decided to do the same on another 3 pieces of paper.

Day 1

Day 2: I put three colours of acrylic paint on a palette and painted this piece of paper.  Then found I had squeezed out too much paint so painted another 3 pieces of paper.

Day 2

Also day 2

 

 

Day 3: I stencilled Australian flora onto one of the pieces of paper - which isn't actually as blue as this photo suggests!

Day 3

 

Day 4: I made an alphabetical list of words that could be used to describe me.

Day 4

Day 5: I stamped a bubble pattern on the page for B.

Day 5

And also sorted out small photos for some of the letters.  I haven't put the photos of my grandchildren on here but they are in the collection.

Also Day 5

Day 6: I used a stencil to draw the letters A, B & C on the front of the zines.  I coloured the letters in with a Glaze pen.  I love these pens because when the first coat is dry you can colour over again.  And you can keep doing that until the letter looks enamelled.

Day 6

So there's me up-to-date.  I've managed 6 days in a row although not quite in the way I had planned.  I had intended to spend 4 days on each letter, but between too much paint and working on different things simultaneously I have 3 zines on the go at once.

It will all work out in the end I'm sure.

Thanks for being here today
