Welcome to Day 60 of the 100-Day Project!
Today was a somewhat "light" day again, at least from the creative angle.
I plan to work a lot more on these spiral/pinwheel designs
Much of my time spent in my workspace centered around getting the 30 already painted "Retreat Stones" signed and marked on the back. Which basically amounted to my usual "AS" insignia, with my usual serial number, and then adding "SGJ 2024" for the retreat (Spiritual Growth Journeys) below that.
All marked and ready to finish... that will be tomorrow.
Once I had that done, I also put initials on the 36 tiny "Faerie Stones" previously painted, as well as the 14 ready stones for the $12 pre-bag basket.
And then it became time to go mow part of our lawn, which has gotten extremely "hairy," as of late. When you're a homeowner, there is always something in need of being done!
And the very small one. Sorry this ended up a little blurry...
Day 60 Stone Painting:
It was definitely a "light" day today, with just one small stone painted.
I'm running out of all sorts of things here, from paint in certain colors to nice blank stones to use. But I am also "out of money" for various reasons, so I'm not about to be able to go shopping anytime soon.
But I can, at least, go to the beach and find more stones!
Today's small stone
Day 60 Summary and Social Media Bits:
A very "small" day today: just that one small stone painted; not going to count the signing/marking as "creativity." That said, it definitely is something that needed to be done.
Daily Twitter/X post: Check. Starting to promote heart stones for Mother's Day.

Day 60 completed; somewhat of a light day today, and I am starting to feel the pressure of the show coming up... just two weeks away now! There's still lots of non-art preparation to get done; truck oil change, house sitter, make sure bills are paid and such.

Because I am trying to make some semblance of income — a part time living, even — I now add this footer to all my posts, in the hope that someone, somewhere, might decide to take a further look at my work, and perhaps consider supporting independent art.
Thank you, in advance, for your consideration and support!
