One of the beauties of my Design a Day project is that it has kept me motivated to keep producing even when I don’t exactly feel up to it. Take tonight’s rendering…when I started to sketch, I felt demoralized, tired and defeated. I wasn’t sure I’d be able to produce anything worthy of posting here. Worse, I didn’t exactly want to either. However, the thought of falling short of my goal of posting a design a day for one year straight with only 19 days to go, was enough of a motivation to get me going.
Furthermore, something happened as I started to paint. I found a sense of calm, peace and energy that I didn’t think I had. My earring design is merely a watercolor and gouache painting on vellum paper; however, the shift in my mood is golden:

How about you? What step will you take today that will move you closer to your goal?
