Ordinary Everyday Moments: “Joy is what happens to us when we allow ourselves to recognize how good things really are”. Memories held most sacred…Marianne Williamson. I am both curious and scared to begin the 100 day project. I have a mobile studio, due to my schedule and commute. I will be using photographs as a springboard. Photography was my first love and continues to bring me joy. The process of being in the moment and looking outward is my oxygen.
I have files of words, collage papers, and substrates to use with the photos. Also drawing and painting materials. Sketchbooks and boards will be my substrates. Time of work will depend on my schedule. I will be able to put more time in on weekends and revisit the week’s work. 100 pieces, 100 days. This is a way to make my moments “in between” tangible and physical…to work with them beyond the making of the images…post production.

“Something Wicked this way comes…” A hectic piece #30

This piece has been the most fun headache I have ever created.
First I applied all the pen & ink work as I would my normal works I create.
Now I am applying all the simple watercolor washes throughout the piece in preparation of the Scratch Art portion of this piece.

As for Republic Arts Council “Mining the Arts” Festival the members continue to set up vendors, musicians and other entertainment.
The Township has been so helpful. We will have Main street closed along with connected side streets so everyone can walk freely without fear of vehicles. The few local businesses are readying themselves.
My biggest fear is the Artists and Craftpersons showing up.
These past 30 days of The 100 Day Project have been the busiest of my life and I know will get more and more hectic.
God help us 🙂

“Something wicked this way comes…”
18″ x 24″
Medium: Pen & Ink / Watercolor

The 100 Day Project will be a view of what I am doing in my Studio and without over a 100 day period.
As I create my works I will also attempt beginning an Arts Organization here in my hometown of Republic, Michigan.

DAY #28

I begin applying a light wash around the tracks in the snow and also the snow laying on the pins branches.

We are finally ready with printing the applications and packets for Republic Arts Council 2014 1st Annual “Mining the Arts” Festival in beautiful Republic, Michigan.
Please click on the link to the Arts Council and message me for further details.

And so it begins…

I am really enjoying The 100 Day Project. I am at my bench, even if its only for a few minutes, every day. It helps to set out the materials for the next day before I leave the bench. Ideas are flowing and the textures are showing up in my jewelry. I anneal my copper pieces ahead of time, in batches of twelve, so they are ready to use.
