Sophie Therrell of Eugene, OR is creating daily in Blog with Daily Watercolor: Coffee Cups and Grocery Bags. She explains, "Everyday I make a 3x5 water color painting and write a short essay about whatever I'm thinking about. And I report how many people emailed me that day to say they used a reusable coffee cup to buy coffee. For every reusable cup used, I donate $1 to our local recylcing company. So far, we're up to $12, I think."
Why did you decide to do this project: I bought your book! And after about a three months it hit me that a daily watercolor would be doable and fun. I am NOT a trained painter by any means, but felt that exploring painting would be a challenge and probably fun. Also, I'm sad about how many coffee cups get thrown away every day, so I thought this might be a fun way to get people to switch to reusable cups.
How has doing a yearlong/daily project affected your life? Its been 19 days so far, so I'm not sure any major changes have taken place. But I am for sure LOVING every minute of time I spend on this, and it has given me a feeling of energy and accomplishment. Also, having to write something every day is helping me somehow to feel more balanced during the day. I am hoping to get more readers and more people to quit the disposable cups!!!
