The 100 Day Project
I have been a distant admirer of the 100 Day Project for years, but never had the inclination to participate. This year, however, I am in! So what is it, you may ask? Well to quote the website of the project:
” #The100DayProject is a free, global art project that takes place online. Every year, thousands of people all around the world commit to 100 days of creating. The idea is simple: choose a creative project, do it every single day for 100 days, and share your process on your social accounts using the hashtag #The100DayProject.”
I have been a maker forever, but the last few years I´ve also had the desire to create my own designs, particularily in knitting and sewing, but also in other crafts that strikes my fancy.
The 100 Day Project seems like the perfect opportunity for me to make a concious effort to really delve into designing, not just thinking about it.
I aim at 5-10 minutes a day, more if I have the time, and it can be designing in all branches of my crafty sphere; sewing, bag making, leatherwork, beadwork, embroidery, knitting, crochet – you name it.
The ideal is that I will be creating things and designing stuff based on my own fantasy and creativity, not based off of a published pattern.
I want to up my drafting skills, my knitwear design skills, my drawing skills and possibly also dabble with CLO 3D and similar software.
All the things I design will necessarily not be fully produced finished objects in the end, as it is consistancy in the design process that is my aim.
So, how about you? Are you joining in on the 100 Day Project this time around? There´s always possible to start whenever of course, but there is a collective starting date Feb the 23rd if you want to join in together with everyone else.
Let´s do the thing and have some fun!
