This will be my 7th year of joining the #100dayproject and I’m excited to begin. It’s a marathon for sure, but every year I’ve adapted how I work it into my days so it’s still fun. 100 days don’t have to be consecutive. In 2017 I did 100 days over the space of 6 months. You don’t have to finish to have participated. In 2018 I set myself way to ambitious a project and quit after a few weeks. I’ve still got the pieces I made, I love them, and all I learned from making them. In 2019 I scaled it back and posted what I’d been doing in my everyday art making for 100 days. In 2020 I made a junk journal before I began, each day I added a bit to a new page, but it wasn’t a blank page, so whether I had much time or not, every day I had something to share. In 2021 I was also taking an online class where we were building a body of work, so I used these as the pieces for my 100 days. In 2022 I made a concertina sketchbook full of paint, mixed media and collage. I recorded and shared the process over the course of 100 days. In 2023 I’m celebrating a theme I come back to over again and again in my art and in my thinking. This year I’m going to make 100 spirals. #100spiralsbymixy #madebymixy#watercolor#watercolour #spirals https://www.instagram.com/p/Co20tccIh5P/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

What a long strange trip 2022 has been. Home and family life have taken over much of the last months of the year so arting time hasn’t been so available. I’m hopeful that January will have more free time for making 😁 Wishing us all the best for 2023. Much love ❤️ #happynewyear #yearofart #2022#2023#ily#madebymixy https://www.instagram.com/p/Cm2P327oYta/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Looking back at #ICAD what a lot can happen in two months! ❤️ I so enjoyed making these cards and the process has helped me get an even better understanding of my visual Language. ❤️ I already knew I love spirals, swirly organic line, the shapes and patterns I call ladders, cobwebs and crazy paving. It was a great reminder there’s an infinity of permutations and after this I feel even more at home among my familiar shapes. ❤️ #DYICAD #DYICAD2022#ICAD2022 #ICADbyMixy #madebymixy #maximalism #mixedmedia#mixedmediaartist#allthelayers #intuitiveart#dyicad2022#dyicad#dailyart#dailyartchallenge#mixedmedia#madebymixy#imadethis#mixedmediaartist#allthelayers #shapesand patterns#familiarpatterns#intuitiveart#dyicad2022#dyicad#dailyart#dailyartchallenge#mixedmedia#madebymixy#imadethis https://www.instagram.com/p/CgzaEzlIH9x/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
