100 Days of Resolution

100 Days of Resolution

I haven’t been on Instagram for that long, and I do my best to keep my feed art and art-only, so it was inevitable that I would come across the 100 Day Project, which starts every year for the past several in mid to late March.  It’s kind of an intention project, but with few rules.  My intention this calendar year anyway was to engage in resolution – either finish things up to decide to be finished with them.

So, my 2023 100 Day Project will be to use a bunch of my leftover fabric scraps – the stuff that is 5×5 or less – couple it with a bunch of seed beads leftover from who knows what – and to make these little sachets stuffed with cedar.  Or are they pincushions?  In any case, they smell good and they serve my intention.  So that’s part one.  Part two will begin when I run out of steam doing this handwork (which will happen long before I run out of scraps or beads).

Part Two will involve going back to my stack of disassembled chipboard boxes – they were salvaged from the boxes that holiday cards came in that I send out to a business and personal list.  They are sturdy, and have magnetic closures, so of course I couldn’t throw them away.  I’ve been rebuilding and recovering them for a while now, and I think they make the perfect presentation container for some of these beaded beauties!
