The Minds 100 Day Project

The 100 Day Project was originally created by Michael Bierut in 2010 for his graduate graphic design students at the Yale School of Art and in 2014 it was brought to Instagram. And now in 2023 it's coming to Minds. The Minds 100 Day Project will officially start on March 7, 2023 (Full moon with creativity at its peak) and end 100 days later. As this is a personal project, totally designed and directed by YOU, you can start and stop whenever you want to. Is there something you would like to learn and develop? Or something you've been wanting to do but it's been on hold till the 'right' time? Perhaps the time is now: To begin or begin again with a fresh approach. How to participate Design your own project: Something that will hold your attention, or challenge you to, for the next 100 days: Be it some form of art, writing, music, singing, dancing or video production: Or making such as knitting, sewing or cooking: Or planting/growing seeds or trees: Or documenting your walk/commute to work. Anything that you feel you'll enjoy doing in 10-30 minutes a day. If you miss a day it's no big deal because you're completely in charge of making your own 'guidelines.' When inspired, share your progress in this group and/or on your own channel using the hashtag #the100dayproject. You might also like to use a hashtag that is unique to your own Project. You can post the progress of your Project every day, a few times a week, once a week, or whatever fits into your lifestyle. Why do it? 'By committing to doing something for 100 consecutive days, you are building muscle and momentum to develop a skill and/or bring something new into your life.' ~Catherine Rains. As an example, my project will be to integrate drawing, watercolour and photography into small 3D arrangements with natural materials and stitching.

Stick

My love for Stick continues to guide me in the process of this new work, based on an asymmetrical Grid of Nine. This was the 2nd stage of the different arrangements featuring Stick that I did today. New additions of False Turkey Tail are in the top left and bottom right part of the 'Grid.' This fungi was growing abundantly on some old branches that had been felled in the local bushland recently.

Stick

This new project is simply called Stick. I'm letting my love for Stick guide me in the process of this new work, based on an asymmetrical Grid of Nine. Stick is telepathic and can see some of the things Ally has a growing feeling for in their future life together: Including having her portrait drawn in pencil for a book. Today I created 4 or 5 different arrangements featuring Stick. This the beginning of the piece made yesterday with just a few additions.

Final arrangement of this series of Heaven and Earth.

Infinity: A symbol to represent the coming together of Heaven and Earth. In this arrangement I used an oyster shell in the shape of a heart surrounded by spiral shells in the shape of a heart. Blue Kyanite to represent water at the bottom and here the spirals, the foam/motion of a wave. The 11:11 is now at the top at at the far sides Art and Photography: ©Alison Lee Cousland

Aquarius Full Moon and Star Seeds

Today's second and much simpler arrangement: The circular 'moon' at the top has changed into a heart shape and different feathers have been added to make the 'Winged Heart.' The 11:11 is still at the top so that Star Seed energy is flowing down from the 'portal' to the earth:...See more
