Monthly Instagram Doodle Projects

While I've been quieter around here over the past few months, I've become much more active on Instagram, which surpassed Twitter as my favourite social network soon after I joined. 

Last year I started a daily doodle project for myself in December, #DecemberDoodles, where I hand-lettered quotes submitted by people in the comments. In January I hand-lettered a word a day, choosing a word out of my experience of that day, #HappyJanDoodles. I had the idea to do this on squares of folded paper, that I call "quilted paper", and then to stitch through it with gold thread after, and I've just completed that. People have requested a how-to for the quilted paper, so there'll be a post on that soon :)

GIVEAWAY!
February's project is another publicly collaborative one of sorts: I'm doing a giveaway every single day for February! The project is #FancyFebDoodle where I illustrate a letter of the alphabet each day in a different elaborate way. The first person to comment on the post each day on Instagram with their email address and the hashtag wins a printable version of that day's illustration! I'll be posting every day between 12 and 1pm SA time (GMT+2) so you'll know when to keep an eye out for the letter you're after :)

The printables will be sent out once a week to the winners of that week, and will also be made available for sale online.

What do you think of this idea? I plan on doing various different Instagram projects like this every month this year. If you have any ideas for a project theme that you think would be amazing, feel free to share them with me! See you on Instagram ;)
