The 100 Day Project 2016 11-30.

Published by

I am very proud of myself.  I have not skipped a day yet or had to play catch-up in this year’s 100 day project.  This is mainly due to the fact that I only have a playing card size piece of art to make.  Sometimes I will cover the card completely and sometimes I work with the image which is already there. As I work my way through the 100 days I am drawing on more and more of my art journaling experience and treating many of the cards as mini journal pages. I like to see the original cards with the altered version.  The only one which I couldn’t tell the original card was number 26 because I layered on so much gesso. I couldn’t see the original card at all, I even tried shining a flashlight through it! Only 70 cards to go!  If you want to follow along with my 100 day progress on Instagram my hashtag is #100daysofalteredcardsbycatseatdogs. Happy Thursday!  

‘I Like’ Friday. The 100 Day Edition. Days 1-10

  The 100 day project.  One hundred days of constant, consistent artwork.  I have 10 days done and now I am into double digit days and still going strong, mainly because I am loving these little pieces I am creating each day. My project is to randomly pick out a playing card from a box of over 400 vintage cards (not all different) each day and alter the picture side.  I have been using the picture as part of my final card on some days and some I have completely covered in paint and made my own image. I am posting each card on Instagram using the hashtag #100daysofalteredcardsbycatseatdogs. So far I have doodled and gesso’d in black or white. I have stamped and collaged and tied ribbon. I have even written a little tiny story. What will be on the next card?  I am not sure, but I do keep a section in my ideas notebook for ‘100 day project’ specific ideas which I keep adding to, so that is a great back up …
