The 100 day project Week 3 (Day 15 to Day 21) + A-to-Z Challenge Theme Reveal

Hi there creative friend!

A really busy week and sometimes I had to remind myself of my creative todo list. The words were both a struggle and easy. The muse definitely had a field day with me during the third week.

But I didn't beat myself up about my struggles and did what I could during those times.

I am adding the A-to-Z blog challenge (happening in April) to my 100 day list of creative projects. Take a look at the blog challenge, link is here on the right.

And my theme this year? Cheating the Muse - why I don't struggle with creative block. It helped me in the past, and continues to do so during the 100 day project challenge.

Enjoy your week and remember to take it easy on yourself on those difficult days.

Until next time!

Day 15

Our art group decided to do a phenology journal this year. Record our local environment on a weekly basis which included a drawing. But I didn't like the way it looked, so at the beginning of February I changed mine to one drawing instead of 4 or 5 small ones. 

I am using a Hahnemuhle nature study notebook, with a lined page and a blank page for every spread.

I record rainfall, maximum temperature, UV exposure, relative humidity, sunrise and sunset, and the time of day.

The drawing is a flowering plant in front of my office window (no idea what it's called) done in coloured pencils.

Time: 1 hour 45 minutes

Day 16

The words didn't flow easy today. It happens, but still better than nothing, I say. 💜

Time: 2 hours

Day 17

Another ink flower drawing on a piece of the old dictionary page.

Time: 15 minutes

Day 18

An incredibly busy day with work and some personal stuff, and yet I found the time to write a lot of words. If only every writing day was this productive *sigh

Time: 3 hours

Day 19

And as usual I worked on the group project during our Thursday meeting. I focused on the first flowers this week. Not quite finished yet, but so far I am happy that it looks like a rose. 😂

Time: 2 hours 30 minutes

Total time: 7 hours 30 minutes

Day 20

Another WIP - this is the Match challenge of the art group, Artkula, that I am a member of. Of course you can see that it is far from finished. Oil pastels used to be a medium that I didn't like, but currently I actually like using them. This project is on Canson Sand Grain paper.

Time: 1 hour 30 minutes (so far)

Day 21

Lots of writing this week. I did most by hand in a notebook, which makes it difficult to count until I transcribed it to my computer.

Time: 3 hours
