I've decided to dip my toes back into the blogging pool. For 2026, I'm planning a year-long project and this blog will be a good way to document it and keep me accountable.
In the past, I've participated in a lot of different art challenges: junk journal january, 100 day project, Index-card-a-day, Inktober, Nanowrimo, Nanojoumo, carved December... I've even done a few year-long projects. What I've noticed though, is that when I'm following a challenge, I take the time to create on a daily basis, no matter what. And when that challenge ends, I can't seem to find the motivation to actually create daily.
So I've decided to start my own challenge: 365 hearts. It would be easy to leave it at that, but I'm also adding a time element: I have to work on it for at least 15 minutes. So no quick doodle. No short poem. Those can be starting points to something bigger. I have so many art and craft supplies that anything can happen.
I'm excited to see where this takes me and how I'll grow as an artist.
