100 Days of Botanicals
Yesterday was the last day of this year's 100 Day Project, which is an annual global art project, free for anyone to join in. All you have to do to take part is choose a creative project that you can work on every day and do it every day for 100 days. If you choose, you share your work online with the hashtag #the100dayproject.
I've taken part twice in the past, making patterns and hand lettering. This year I decided that every day I would make a small drawing with a botanical theme - flowers, fruit, vegetables, leaves... These are the 100 drawings I made and as you can see, I played around with different mediums and styles and I really enjoyed it.
There were times when it felt difficult or like I really didn't want to draw another flower ever again but I kept going and I'm glad I did. It's been a really good way to create a new body of work and be playful at the same time.
I have some ideas about what I want to do next but for the moment I have a big piece of work to finish and then I think I'm going to have a bit of a rest from making new drawings for a bit.
In the meantime, I'm slowly adding all of these 100 drawings to my Etsy shop. Some have already sold but if the one you like isn't there yet it will probably appear over the next couple of weeks.
