I love being absorbed by your art! It's so vibrant and youthful. I am so happy you are honest about not completing the 100 days, but we can celebrate your many many other days of beautiful creations!! 💛
Ahh thank youuuuu!!!!
You’re definitely not failing. You make art to please yourself, yes? Like you said, you can always cancel out. Whenever it’s enough, you’re done. I think creative people are not inherently able to accept constraints; they prefer freedom. I’ve watched creatives participate in challenges, specifically the five item challenge. They always overdo it, trying to use their five items in super-creative ways, bending, melting, shredding, flaking …. They get too far from their comfort zone, and then I could swear I hear teeth gnashing. The result is almost always overworked, unnatural. I’d much rather they tap out. It’s not failure. It’s admitting it stopped being fun. Your cards are wonderful; they looked perfect lined up on the wall. A magnificent art quilt! I love seeing your colors, motifs and style echoing thru the pieces. I especially love the greyhounds and the buxom ladies. Bliss!
I definitely don't think I'm actually failing! hehe! I'm happy plodding along at my own pace now. I tend to zoom into things and smash out a bunch of stuff then get board, rest, and then plod along. I used to get mad at myself for this - but it's who I am and how my brain does what it does! Thank you Mara!!!!!
@@SophieMcPike Yes! I’m 71, so I’m fully baked. I will learn new things, though I doubt I’ll learn new ways. I HATE timelines and deadlines, so I don’t have them anymore. Serious things will happen, I’m certain, and I will have to things I don’t want to do. That’s life! So in between very serious things, I choose to be happy. I’m happy this very minute. I love you, kiddo. You are a very wise youngster. 💜💜💜
Sophie don't be so hard on yourself, you can take as long as you want for the challenge because it's meant to be a fun sparkly activity for you to enjoy, I think they all look absolutely magical!
Loved seeing these - 70+ illustrations is definitely not failing!!
A booklet or zine of these would be amazing. They do look amazing though on the wall - like a patchwork quilt
that was so beautiful and inspiring. you have a real eye for colour palettes and shapes!! i love the results of this challenge! beautiful illustrations 😍😍😍
every single one of this pieces are masterpieces!!! love them all!
Thank you Jessica!!!!!❤
So so so so beautiful 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
These were so whimsical ❤. I love how you set yourself up for success and that you are still doing the project even with breaks. Hearing your thought process is also fascinating.
Excellent work ❤

Thank you so much! Yes, powering through S L O W L Y :)
im so obsessed with this video!! all the pieces you've made so far are so beautiful and charming- I hope you get the motivation to finish it soon! I might start it in November
Thank you so much!! Good luck with yours!!!
holy god these are gorgeous! This would be such a cool art oracle deck!
It’s amazing!!!! ❤ you can make an oracle card deck off of them!!
i'm finally catching up on your last videos, and they are all soooo good, but this one is so so so interesting - love that you explain your general process
Thank you so much!
these are Gorgeous, i love the whimsical energy and vibrancy!! there's so many that i would buy prints of in a heartbeat 💜
Ah thank you!!
current art project im procrastinating on is my art homework lmao
ive been really struggling to figure out how im gonna finish it but as always watching your video gave me that little sparkle of idea and inspo i needed
Ah! Thats so nice! You got this!
Keeping the joy in the journey❤
There's a really fun children's book by MO Willems called 'There is a Bird On Your Head'. 😁
Loooove the strawberry
I have a pile of that paper, does yours smell awful, my dad got it in an auction, but I love working on it. Art isn’t meant to be a race its telling your story, and you have years ahead, I love your work, and your so lovely to watch, thank you xxx
hehe, no mine doesn't smell awful to me! Just like paper!
Yeah :) It's absolutely not a race, I agree, the click bait-y title makes it seem like I'm upset but I'm really totally okay with not having finished the challenge in the 100 days, i'm just going at my own pace and i'm super happy with that!!!
Thank you Sonia!!
Does it have that funky cellar smell? I had the same problem with some used books and putting them into freezer did help. I wrapped them in linen cloth first, then put them into a plastic bag and then for about four days into the freezer. I let them thaw (unwrapped) at room temperature and the smell was gone.
they look like a wonderful quilt laid out on the wall, could work if you got h images printed fabric😀
Ah! I loved this video, all your beautiful colours and shapes!😍 I look forward to seeing what you do with them next.
Thank you so much 😊
Sophie I just love all of your artwork! You are so inspiring, thanks for sharing 😊
Ah thank you so much x
I just love watching your videos, Sophie 💗
I'm so glad!!!!!
Really enjoyed this video ❤🌸
Wowsers I just found your channel… your art is beautiful. I second I saw it, I subscribed. Super unique style- it has a carefree aspect that I reallllly appreciate!! Cant wait to see more from you ♥️
The further in the video I get, the more in awe I am. The sheer creativity
Awww that's so niceee!!! 💗💗💗 thank you so much!
They do look great all up on the wall, as you said like a wonderful colorful quilt!!! 🤩
Hah, I also attempted the 100 day challenge two years ago (wow time goes by fast?!) and I made about 70 something illustration in the series however I still go back to them for inspiration, and use them to start new ideas or extend some of them. I could definitely see a progress comparing day 1 to the last day so overall I call that a win 🙌
Oh wow! I love that!!! An absolute success, that is!
This may be weird, but I'd love to see these as stickers!
I can make a sticker pack of some faves, that's a cute idea!
I love this ❤
💖💖💖
Love ❤❤❤❤
Enjoyed video found it interesting and relatable
Glad you enjoyed it
Thank you for this wonderful video! failing is ok! do you plan to continue at your own pace or is this a conclusion of the project?
I’m going to try to finish it, slowly slowly :)
I'm on day 11 of the 100 day challenge. I started in September of 2023...no guilt whatsoever 😅
Hahah amazing! 💪🏻✨🌟
I am thinking about doing this challenge. I is that you paper was 22 X 30, what did your cut out papers end up being? 5X5 or 6xX6. Love your art style!
They aren't all perfectly the same size, I'm too lazy to measure perfectly hahaha, but they're approx 12 x 12 cm :)
Me too! 😂 I'm still at it.....
Not alone! 🙌👍💪🥰🙃
Type of paint on your wall is probably the issue. Try another method like string and mini cloth pins.
That’s a very cute idea!
I love the art challenges too, but I have zero time. 😅
Ahhh I knowww!!
