The 100 day project
and 100 Tiny Treasures
The 2026 edition of #the100dayproject started on 22 February. Today is the 47th day since the start of the challenge, and by some miracle I have been keeping up a daily creative practice.
Last year I spent more of the time writing, but so far I have only used two days to write, and not draw or paint. This does not mean that I haven't written during the other days, I have. I do have a book to finish, so writing (and editing) is necessary so I won't miss the new publication deadline in May.
And then I decided to do #100tinytreasures. These are tiny paintings and the perfect solution for days where I have to focus on the book. The tiny treasures is not a challenge but a quest (alias the inventor, Leslie Stroz) to make 100 tiny paintings in a year. So not everyday, but often enough to keep the creative interest, and a perfect solution for the 100 day project too.
And just so you know: I don't count the A to Z challenge blog posts towards the 100 day project. And on that note here are a few of those tiny paintings.
Until tomorrow!

What a nice little practice. Good luck.
ReplyDeleteIt is a challenge to paint so small, but definitely worth learning something new. Thank you, for visiting today, Liz 💜
DeleteEach one a tiny gem, Linze'.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Lisa! ☺️
DeleteCute paintings! How tiny are they? It's hard to tell on a computer screen. A 100 days is a LONG challenge. I need to find more time to paint.
ReplyDeleteThank you! The accepted maximum size limit for tiny paintings is 7.6x7.6 cm. These are 7x7cm - because I had these cards (9x9cm) and haven't used many of them before, so I thought this would be a good opportunity to use them. The 100 days challenge is a real commitment I agree, and some days I find it easier than others, but it is really satisfying to get to the end. Maybe I should take a picture of the pages of my planner where I keep track of this challenge and do a post about it - when it's done. 🤔
