Hello, it is Friday already..... time is flying!
I did the 100 day project earlier this year, which for me just means I tried to create a watercolor every day for 100 days. I used the hash tag #100daysofjoyouswatercolor on instagram to post them. I really just had fun and it wasn't about obligation or forcing myself to create it was about finding the joy in it. I missed a few days here and there but I have kept going after 100 and now I have so much art I haven't posted here on my blog. That is how the rainbow rice, and the fried egg art cane about. And it is also how these heart quotes came about... one piece leads to further exploration just for the sake of exploration!!! Then, you have this large body of work to either ignore, or to pick and choose from as far as which direction to head in next. This lettering has been really fun for me... and I have gotten offers to do wedding gifts (which I will post after the wedding) !
It is all fun stuff!!!! So here are a bunch of the photos.... see you all next week or before!
And here are my designs that I mentioned last week finally on the delivery van!!!! How cool is that?!
So many beautiful pieces! The Flower Diva Inc design is A-MA-ZING!!I Oh and your wording/text has become so sharp and crisp. Lovely work!!! I love the hundred day idea Andrea! The ladybugs and the Rumi quotes are my favorites. . . thinking about the theme of 100 days, I can look back and see that is pretty much how my Etsy shops came about. Not worrying about anything but making something new every day for an entire year (most days anyway). And I don't think I'd be writing a fantasy novel if I didn't allow myself that first hundred or so days to just write with no direction or plot. Characters, ideas, little bits of the world itself, the map etc. That body of work was what I sifted thru to find the larger story I have working now.

Deleteoh my god that it magnificently cool! And your signs are wonderful, I can hardly pick my favorite. I think Whimsy is though as it's so colorful and I'm a total sucker for cobalt teal. Gorgeous work my friend! Have a great weekend, visiting from PPF.
