I looked back at my early tentative steps in envelope art from early on in the 365 and then looked at this. I can hardly believe how far I've come.
With only 35 left to go I feel like a long journey is coming to an end, but feel like I've grown as an artist. I can barely believe that I looked at this piece and didn't feel daunted. I'm really pleased with that

Yeah Andy! One becomes all reflective when the end is in sight. Great stuff!

It's true Rebecca. As I get closer I feel both a sense of relief and a sense of impending loss. I think that when you do a project like this you need to look for ways to integrate the process into your everyday routine, and now this feels like a part of me.

That is exactly how I felt. It needs to be more not extra and I thought hard about how I would take my 'lessons learnt' from mailart out into the world with me. The truth is mailart feels more like fun and process than it did when I HAD to do my 365 but I needed to do the 365 in order to get to that place. Be interested to know how you feel in a few months' time.

Wow 331 and counting. Fascinating what daily mailart teaches you. As you can see it's become a last thing of the day routine for me most days and I like that. Very satisfying what you can achieve if you just keep chipping away at something. Well done again Rebecca and well done very soon Andy

I think you've got it there Rebecca. Although I haven't been that disciplined, I have found that the 365 keeps me making and making and that now I approach my art fearlessly. It gets me to "that point" where the creation of art is a natural process, which for me it hasn't been up til now. I guess I've always needed a motivation, and for 2 years I've had "I've got to get to 365 pieces" as my motivation. As I reach the conclusion, I find that now the motivation is just to make art. You end up putting less emphasis on the 365 and more on the making
