ARE YOU UP FOR A CHALLENGE? (ON INSTAGRAM)
Maybe you remember the #31daysofgelprinting challenge I hosted in April of this year on Instagram. It was a lot of fun and awesome to see how supportive and encouraging the IG community is. It was so inspirational to see what everyone created and how much we all learned from each other.
So I thought it would be great fun to run another challenge and I figured it would be great if you could use whatever you have in your stash so everyone can join in. Maybe you rediscover products that you have had for ages and haven’t used in a long time.
How fun would it be to see other people using products you already have in a totally different way and be inspired to use it again?
So, how does it work?
No prompts!
You are free to use whatever you want as long as every day there is at least 1 product you have not used before during the challenge.
You can (but don’t have too) use everything you used already again but there has to be one new product in every post. So at the end you will have used 31 different products.
Now, I hear you say “I don’t have that many different products”. Well, start counting! You will be amazed. A quick stroll through my drawers gave me a list of more than 90! products!
There’s a list below so see for yourself 😊.
If you are an art journaler or mixed media artist then I’m convinced you have at least half of my list in your stash or maybe even more 😃
So, what do you think? Are you up for it?
We’re kicking off October 1st and if you participate then please use #31productschallenge and tag me @birgit_koopsen so we all can find your art work and leave you some love!
Also mention in your caption what your product of the day is and how you used it.
I decided to work on only one big canvas for the whole challenge. It will be interesting to see how it evolves with all the layers and products.
This might also be a good idea for you in case you think you might not have enough time each day to take part in this challenge . In stead of creating something new each day you can spend only a few minutes working on your project on busy days and longer if you have time :)
I am looking forward to another month of fun and inspiration with this awesome creative community and I would love to see you all join in!
