100 Day Project Complete! Cards 90-100 and all 100

There is an 'extra' card here which I needed to make 100 cards - at the start, I had a card that took two days, which broke my 'one card - one day' rule. So I made an extra at the end so that I'd have my 'full set.'

And the full set . . .

100 Day Project - Days 81 - 90

Only 10 days left! The 100 day countdown ended a while ago, but I am determined to make my 100 little cards. Some I really like, others, not so much. It will be fun to mix and sort them in different ways to look for interesting themes to explore further.

 Took this photo, then forgot to post it June 3, 2026!

100 Day Project - Days 61-70

Thirty more days to go . . . used many tiny left-over scraps most days . . .

100 Day Project - Days 51-60

By 'official count' I should be up around card 70, but a cold got in the way. The important thing is that I am still plugging along with my project. Some days are not exciting, but others surprise me.

Please note that the lovely bird is a photo taken by a wonderful photographer, Jan Wegener, whose work you can find at: https://www.janwegener.com/  -- he has online classes about photography as well as selling his photos.

 Took a photo of these but forgot to post them - almost due to put up another 10!

Day 11: Bird Story

the morning sun reaches

the upper branches of our oak

in silhouette but not yet lit

perches a bird

a mockingbird I decide

the head - shoulders - one wing 

illuminated

- gradually -

- the tail is correct -

the sunlight fulls:

The immovable bird

is a truncated branch.

100 Day Project - Days 34 - 41

I mostly used tiny collage bits this week and stamping with my eraser stamps. Except that the delicate leaves were printed by pressing real leaves and pine needles onto my stamp pad. It looked so nice that I used the idea for an Easter card.

Day 5 - Fog with Crocuses

"croci" is too piercing

for this softly foggy Easter morning,

though angry squirrels squawk at me

when I cast out crumbs of bread for them.

I know that those crocuses blooming

in the furthest corner of our yard,

apart from our garden,

were replanted

years ago

by tiny

paws.

Day 2: No Competition

Jays with their brash flashes of blue

spy the flock of dapper gray and white juncos

their bright yellow beaks finding the

first fresh food of spring after the rain.

The Blues mingle among them,

strut and flutter, nab a snack,

wings wide whisk to a higher vantage . . .

sated, unmoved, the juncos move on.

Day 1: Tanka for Spring

winter’s dry breath held         exhaled today - spring mist

scrimmed distant trees softened the kingfishers' flight

paired across the thawed pond
