A project recap of my 100 Day Project. I have a full set of pics and some thoughts about how this project went and reminders for next time.
The 100 Day Project 2024 Recap
Commissions
Taking artistic commissions can be a crap shoot. Let’s talk about how to do it well and enjoy the process.
Crochet Spine Tutorial
A quick project that adds a lot of value to my notebook experience! I show you how I replace the metal spiral with a crocheted spine.
What is it all for?
I explore the question “What is it all for?” in relation to my personal art practice and encourage you to do the same.
Where I talk about some time management jargon that I modded to work for me, an artist
Have you ever heard of the four Ds? I talk about a time management system that sometimes helps me juggle the many hats I wear.
When I was a kid
I reminisce about my earliest memories that have shaped my artistic journey. This is how my lifelong love of making came to be.
Learning to patiently learn
Some thoughts on the class I’m currently taking and images from the process. It’s me thinking about art as usual.
Blog writing
I’ve been writing on some-kind-a blog for 20 years but this one has been exclusively about my art practice. Here’s a peek behind the curtain.
Discouragement
Processing my discouragement with my art practice over the past year. What’s changed and how I’m moving forward.

Thinking about my most profound art experiences and how they ripple through my life and work. Yes, my hair used to be blond-ish.

Looking for the good through the hard things. Sorting through my grief via creativity. I don’t have any good answers.
The 100 Day Project 2024
Contemplating this year’s 100 Day Project: what it looks like for me creatively and logistically. Also? I love little boxes.
Let’s talk about art journaling prompts
This week I’m contemplating an art journaling staple: art journaling prompts. Use them, lose them, redo them. So many options.
Why I don’t have a Patreon or other paid services, Part 2
In today’s culture there’s not much chance that we can just love the stupid little thing our heart loves and not try to make money off of it.
Sketchbook flip through
Some notes and a video flip through of my sketchbook. This is a great premade watercolor sketchbook that I really enjoyed.
