Hundred days of creating art in 2019
#the100dayproject is a free art project that takes place online.
Every spring, thousands of people all around the world commit to 100 days of exploring their creativity.
At the beginning of April 2019 I saw the first posts appear on Instagram and I decided to become one of these thousands.
Tiny dots
I named my own contribution #100daysoftinydots because, well, the project had to last a hundred days and my work usually consists of lots of tiny dots.
I decided to create a small work every day, like mini canvases, magnets and cards. And maybe once in a while a sketch or an update of a larger work.
A little bit too ambitious
But after a few days of creating, photographing and posting new work, I had to admit my ambitions were too high.
In order to reduce the pressure for myself, I changed my plans. I would make a hundred works, just not in a hundred days.
On this page you will find some of the contributions as I have posted them on Instagram.
Day 1/100 of #the100dayproject and I already saw lots of inspiring posts, so I decided to give it a try as well.
💯
My theme will be a hundred days of tiny dots and I want to try to make a little work of tiny dots each day. This can be a mini painting, a magnet or a handmade card. I will be using acrylic paint, glitter and acrylic markers, on paper, canvas and canvas board. #100daysoftinydots

Day 1/100: a little magnetic canvas. The size is 7x7 cm.

One of the new cards I painted this week. They will be added to my web shop later this week. I’m also working on getting prints available for sale. It’s been fun testing all kinds of different paper!

Last Christmas I started making cards for my family. It’s fun to make and perfect for my own #the100dayproject.

Day 3/100: handmade card, 300 grams paper, acrylic markers, double card, 13x18 centimetres.

I’m not completely happy with the inconsistency of the acrylic markers, I will try a new card soon, with normal acrylic paint.

Day 6 of #100daysoftinydots. A little magnetic canvas with (surprise!) tiny dots.
💯
I started to work on four different pieces today and this is the one I finished. It feels a bit like cheating, but I’ve decided it’s just multi tasking because of the drying time of the bigger dots.😇
I’m also starting to wonder where I will leave all the little paintings with tiny dots, assuming I will make it to 100... List them on Etsy? Put them on my own site that I’m building right now?
😎
Well, obviously not right now. I’m actually outside, enjoying the sunshine and trying to read my book but somehow I opened IG.

Day 9/100 of my #100daysoftinydots project was supposed to go up on Wednesday. But hey, life happened. And life probably and hopefully will be happening a lot more in the coming 91 days so I’ve decided not to be so hard on myself. I’ll post because I think my work of tiny dots is ready, not because it’s the next day. Its my journey anyway.
😊
(Did I tell you I threw away the original day 9 mini canvas board because I wrecked it? And that I spent an entire evening dotting on my new large canvas? That didn’t really help with my planning)
💯
Day 9/100: handmade card, 265 grams paper, acrylic paint, double card, 12x17 centimetres. with matching envelope.
