13 Incredible #The100DayProjects to Brighten Up Your Insta Feed

If you’ve been feeling an extra buzz of creativity in the air and on your Insta feed, you have Elle Luna and The 100 Day Project to thank for it. The free art project challenges artists to share 100 works of art — in any medium — on Instagram, under the hashtag #the100dayproject. This year’s projects kicked off on April 4, and the creativity is just as spectacular as 2015’s colorful and creative projects. Scroll on to see a few of our favorites!


1. #100paperbreakfasts: Here’s a unique take on some of our favorite breakfasts — from Pop-Tarts to cinnamon raisin bread — served with a side of charming stories. We’ll take seconds, please!

2. #100daysoffriendship: Tiny, adorable animal BFFs frolic in this series of watercolor illustrations that will have you ooh’ing and ahh’ing.

3. #100daysofkawaiiness: This talented artist is DIYing a new stamp each day, and each print has an insanely cute Kawaii face. We bet you’ve never seen radishes as charming as these guys!

4. #100daysofdigital3x4: Not all art requires a brush or even a pen. Sneak a peek at the quirky and colorful digital cards behind this creative series.

5. #100daysofkookycharacters: A badger playing tennis? We’d definitely call that kooky. Check out the rest of his friends — like a dik-dik wearing a flower crown and an arctic fox wearing a scarf — for a good giggle.

DAY 013/100 - HOUSE ON STILTS #the100dayproject #100daysofpapermatchboxes - Hey guys! I've been receiving a lot of similar questions lately about my work (mostly technical questions). So, I thought I would answer some frequently asked questions today! Feel free to ask me anything else! 😊 - - 1. Each matchbox art piece is indeed cut and assembled entirely by hand. Everything is made from scratch using just paper! ✂️ 2. It takes me around 4-5 hours to make each piece. I usually work in the night but I'm *trying* to allocate half the time in the morning now. 😳 3. Everything is held together by trusty craft glue or multipurpose adhesive. I use either Selley's or Scotch. 4. I do not use a paintbrush to apply glue onto the edges, only toothpicks. 5. I do not use any software to design my ideas. I just sketch them out on paper and map out the basic flat shapes on adobe illustrator. But I might explore 3D graphic applications in future!
