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.

My Minds 100 Day Project: Eco Curios Tiny Books. Day 69 and 70. It's 20 days since I started this book making project. And I thought it would take me only a few days! If only! 🙏 This is the final arrangement for the wrapping paper featuring the movement of the ocean within an...See more

I've also created a profile on Artsphere: https://artsphere.me/artist/Alison-Lee-Cousland~33435 Has its drawbacks: Like the regular arrangement of images in the editor, like I'd prefer them, turns into a random arrangement. The other drawback for both Bio Site and Artsphere is that they're really set up to promote SquareSpace and Artsphere. But for now. 😂

As a temporary workaround for not having a website on my Instagram, I had a linktree bio dropdown, but it recently became dysfunctional ~ and I've noticed the same with other artists who had been using it. Looking at another artist's IG I saw she is now using Bio Site, a free bio from SquareSpace. This is my Bio Site as it is now, and I'll be able to easily add to it. https://bio.site/alisonleecousland Image: Eco Curios

Where to from Here.

My direction seems to be reasonably straightforward again now: Stitch and embellish the 6 images of the Middle Harbour oyster beds. However, after the Artisans 'rejection' one of the things I've been looking at more closely is 'do I need a website' and I've come to the...See more

Waiting for a Sign: Part 2

Just one of a number of factors, but most likely the major one that contributed to the not-so-exciting sale of my work at 'Spaces of Stillness' was the pricing of my work. I know my prices were very reasonable, considering my own costs: Rent of the gallery + 40% gallery...See more

Waiting for a Sign: Part 1

Every morning I greet the day by saying a short 'prayer of intention' which includes this request: 'Universe please show me today the clear signs of my next step.' After absorbing the exquisite still beauty of this morning: a fine almost imperceivable sun-shower, a glistening...See more

Little 'bundles' for a future 'tiny book.'

When ever I go away I take all the materials I might need for a new project. These little 'bundles' began a few years ago. Some of them I can't find anywhere so will have to start again. Art and Photography: ©Alison Lee Cousland.
