100 day project Week 1 Feb 13 to Feb 19 2022

 

First Blog post of the 100 day project for 2022.  I had the idea to create Greeting Cards for my project.  Most of the cards I design are florals which I love.  However over the course of this challenge I want to try other designs.  What I have to remember is that every design may not be someone's cup of tea and that is Ok because my ultimate purpose is to grow and stretch outside me comfort zone.  

I love hand made cards which means I need to really develop a deep stash to have on hand.  

Thoughts on this week:

1.  I absolutely love working with black paper

2.  I want to experiment more with written thoughts on the card front

3.  I am developing a range of sizes from A2 to A7  

4.  Need to incorporate acrylic and gouache

Well that is all until next week

Take care Y'all.......pilgrim     

Hello 2022

 

Good bye to the Village.

2022, a new year, new dreams, new challenges.  The village was dismantled today.  Tomorrow, Sunday, will be the commemoration of the Baptism of the Lord and the official end of the Christmas season in the Catholic Church.  Next week we enter Ordinary times.  As I stored the Village I felt like I was entering my personal ordinary time.  How will I spend this Ordinary time?  Will I write?  Will I draw and paint?  I plan to develop a three year Plan to prepare for my 75th birthday.  I was sitting and thinking about the future and realized how fast the 3 years will go by and I want to be intentional to make that a very special year.

I also want to be more consistent with writing on this Blog as a part of my creative process.

So hello 2022, so nice to see you, let's get started.

Until next time.....pilgrim
