                    Another #100dayproject just completed!  This time my theme was #100daysofbeachfinds incorporating a beach walk/clean to collect the source material then a daily drawing of some of those finds.  Man-made & natural items combined to create a collection of postcard sized images.

                    In October we continued with the #365dailycreate project with some mark making with natural objects.  Diluted ink was applied with various found objects made into 'brushes'.
