Daily Rituals: Finding Focus through the Daily Marker Project

—

Starting on May 18, 2025, I began a new creative challenge: one marker drawing on an index card, every single day. This project is my way of practicing creative discipline in a small, tactile format — turning a simple 3×5 card into a playground for new ideas and bold color.

It’s been a rewarding way to experiment with quick execution and “thinking on the page” without the pressure of a large canvas.

Want to see the collection grow? I’m posting these daily over on Instagram—come say hi and follow the journey at @emptybamboogirl.
