17/100

I am always over enthusiastic about how much I can fit into my life. So when I saw The 100 Project and noticed many interesting people signing on to the party on Instagram I jumped in. I'm not keeping up with the pack, that's for sure. But I made more art than I would have unprompted and I'll call that a win. If you are on Instagram check out #the100dayproject. 
My hashtag is #100daysofbookingit




 The first few books I made were made of one piece of paper. The background fun began on the full sheet. It was then folded and cut so that it would form a book with 8 pages. You might think of it as a greeting card with a lot of pages, a pamphlet or a sparse book - your choice. 


Yes, there's plenty of pink. Why wouldn't there be?


The layout possibilities are endless.


Here's a peek at several I've made. The one on the top includes a fortune cookie fortune that I've held on to for a while. 


The uncharacteristic shock of green in this one makes me smile. Nevertheless pink reigns front and center. 


Perhaps I'll post some more of these. I lost my momentum as Spring appeared. Seasonal allergies, end of the school year (how will I finish everything in time?) and other projects have been a pull at my time, but I hope to get back into the swing of things when we break for Summer. There will be work to do, curriculum to work on, but I think there will be a few more hours for paint.

How is Spring treating you? What delights you these days? Hope to be in touch.

  2. Hi Jeanie,
    Kind of you to say I've been productive. It feels like I've been slacking. I know, however, that it's not a matter of slacking, but one of being busy in many ways.
