100 Day Project Mini 5 | Days 41-50 "Soaring Through The Clouds"

Alongside my main 100 Day Project (where I added one element to the same piece of paper for 100 days), I created 5x7 minis as a way to capture every 10 marks!

Each day when I made my mark on my main project, I did the same thing on my mini and began a new mini every 10 days. It was a way to highlight the different techniques and elements that were added (since a lot of the markings--especially the early ones--get covered or altered as the project progresses) and it was also an exploration in scale and creating in a shorter time frame.

I had so much fun making each of these minis and they have become so special to me! I hope you enjoy them as well!

This mini began with bright pink circles and a bold black mark. It wasn't until I turned the paper around the next day that I saw a flying bird. That became my inspiration for the rest of this piece--I wanted to create a scene of flight and freedom, of soaring through the clouds in the sky.
