The 100 Day Project

I learned about the 100 day project from a friend who helped support me to make one piece of art or share a part of a piece of art each day for 100 days. I decided that I would share my playing with watercolors and words and my fiber art and my poetry. I began on February 26, 2022.

This was the introduction to the project on February 25.
