100 Day Project Mini 8 | Days 71-80 "The Joy Of Play"

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 includes one of my favorite things to do--making splatters! Creating this entire piece was so much fun and I love the colors and shapes that came from each technique. I hope this mini inspires you to find joy through play :)
