Some stills of my series of paintings I did for Susan Rossiter’s Fodder School 5 lessons this month. I did end up going down a bit of a side track with these but the techniques and skills I’ve learned have been so helpful! This is the sort of art I’ve always hoped I’d be capable of making and the lessons I’ve learned from Fodder School overlap fantastically to encourage this kind of creative expression. The jury is out on if I like the birds, fish, or flowers the most but honestly, I love them all and that’s all that matters to me. Thanks for the generous deep dive of a month Susan! And Wendy Solganik for rounding up the best year long mixed media journey a girl could ask for 💚💛🧡

I wasn’t sure where I was going to take my bonus lesson frames and panels from this month’s Fodder School 5 lessons with Susan Rossiter but here I am and I couldn’t be happier! Lots of layers and learning and I ended turning my abstract colour practice into some mod negative space pieces. One is marimekko inspired, one is a fish design based off mid century ceramic art, and the last is a wonky birds pattern! Thanks for a second fantastic project Susan - what a fantastic month of play and learning 🧡💚💙

At long last! The last quarter of my “took me well over 100 days” 100 day project! I think some of my favorites came out in this run and I definitely found a formula for making clusters that I enjoyed the most. Adding stitches felt necessary but goodness does it ever tack some time into the process. I’m so thrilled I made it though! I’ll have to do a YouTube flip through one of these days but since last year’s project didn’t get a YouTube video until this year, I have some time. Haha. For now I will pat myself on the back and resist the urge to make this into a project where I try to completely fill that little box….

100/100 means I am officially finished my (seemingly never ending) making 100 collage clusters! Is this one a bit on the sassy side as my feelings towards the project this year? You bet. Whew! I did it! I need a nap.

Putting some of those flowers to use and enjoying my dive into expanding my palette to include orange and purple! I’ve learned so much this month with Susan Rossiter’s Fodder School 5 lessons and am so happy with how this flower piece turned out. Oh and if this wasn’t enough - we get a second project to work on for the second half of the month! Oh I’ve been spoiled and I love every second.

I absolutely love learning a new technique for mixed media art and Susan Rossiter’s “skins” she showed us in Fodder School 5 is a doozy! Such fun texture, collage-able, and in my favourite colours 💙💚💛

099/100 for my and so close! I figured some sassy birds were suiting and the saying with this one is sort of on point 🫣. I know my fourth year of 100 day projects was quite the endeavor and I’m happy I’m getting there but I think it need to make it a bit easier next year or something because whew - this has been a ride. Almost done though!
