11 AUGUST

It’s all about the #100daysproject on Instagram this week. I am loving other people's projects, producing exciting work during the 100 days and resulting in fascinating collections. Inspired by this, I decided to join and do my project with cats. The open notebook pictured above shows the first two cats, and illustrates my intention to make 5 booklets of 20 pages each and work through the booklets until they are all complete and I have 100 cats. Below are the cats which followed on each day of the week.

I don’t know what will happen during the project, I can’t even imagine at the moment what it will be like when I have made 50 cats, or 75! The only time I have made 100 of anything is when I have made a run with rubber stamps or linocuts, or multiples for Christmas cards; those are very much the same but different each time. I am hoping that by the time I have created 100 cats, my cat style will have developed into something unique, and I always love a few surprises on the way!

​Thanks for visiting, see you next week!
