The 100 Day Project.

All of a sudden my instagram feed went crazy this morning with the hashtag #the100dayproject! So being a creative I looked into it... You first pick an action, something creative to do for 100 days- drawing, sewing, embroidery, photo etc... you get the idea.... You then start April 19th (today, or join when ever, just do it for 100 days.... Tag it #the100dayproject and finally pick a hashtag of your own to catalogue it for your own records...

I picked weaving... as it is something I have been doing everyday for the last week. I do it because it is meditative, I want a challenge and I like making stuff! My goal is to not just do the same thing all the time but to learn different techniques, and bring different textures into it... here I am bring in silver embroidery floss as an accent!!! And I love it...

I can not wait to share more with you on this project and am excited to see how it evolves. If you have an instagram account go search #the100dayproject to get all the details and inspiration! Oh and follow me @meganhcarroll_artist Cheers!

I love making creative whims!

I love making stuff and therefore am always happy to support my daughters creative whims... because really who am I to talk? Macrame, knitting, sewing, felting, printmaking, painting, ceramics,  illustration, fabric dying etc? well I've tried it all (most)... some have stuck and I continue to grow those skills and others (to my husband's relief) I have dumped... One thing I am happy to support is origami, it is more of Miss B's thing than mine, but I appreciate the tactility, folding and construction of taking a plain unassuming piece of paper and turning it into a thing. So perusing the internet one day looking for lettering examples I found a paper alphabet that intrigued me enough to file away in the back of brain/pinterest to use as reference. And this is what I did with it....

Alphabet

This is for a Spoonflower competition- Calligraphy... Would love it is you checked it out, maybe even vote for it...

Better late than never....

I've been trying to post once a day to keep me accountable,

but not only that, to keep me inspired.

Thinking constantly about what it is I love and what 

I want to do is keeping me engaged with my creative

side.

So even though this post is late, 

it is better than never.

I wanted to do a quick share of an upcoming project

with my beach combing finds yesterday....

There may be a little Macramé action going on.

Ps... Truth be told I am drinking wine and eating good food,

on a mini getaway with my husband 

(shh don't tell him I am blogging). 

I am posting this in between decadent meals

at wildly hip restaurants!!!
