Dreamer No. 3 | 100 Days of Dreamers

Dreamer No 3/100 - I scaled waaayy back today and made this wild little jungle of a dreamer. Apparently the greenery isn't gonna stop any time soon and I'm okay with that! I needed to make something smaller and simpler because yesterday was CRAZY (in case you missed my notes at the beginning - I'm working a day ahead in order to be able to photograph each dreamer in good light as I'm often making them late at night). Along with all the usual chaos, we also FINALLY painted our master bedroom! We only moved in 2 years ago ....

I'm not supposed to love every single piece I make during this project, but it was bugging me.

100 Days of Dreamers

100 Days of Dreamers

I’m super excited to share that I’m participating in The 100 Day Project this year! (learn more about it here) This is an amazing creative challenge to pick a theme or project and work on it every single day for 100 days - and this year I will be doing #100daysofdreamers. I’ll be making and posting (here and on instagram) a new dreamcatcher inspired wall hanging every day starting tomorrow and I’ll talk more about my process and the inspiration and reasons for doing this project as we go along, but for now I’ll just post my rules: 1. Make a dreamer every...
