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.

An assortment of small pieces of eco-dyed remnants were given to me recently by a friend. Now torn into smaller pieces ~ Frayed and crinkled. And assembled as mini-hangings with tissue momigami, silk cocoon, fragments of orgonite, shells, stones and pieces of bark. Art and Photography: ©Alison Lee Cousland.

The eco dyed cloth was a discarded remnant given to me recently by a friend. It wraps so beautifully and Stick feels so elegant wearing it. The fragments of orgonite are very flexible and I can easily manipulate them. They unroll very quickly but when bound by fabric/wire they stay curled. Art and Photography: ©Alison Lee Cousland.

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.
