182 Day Solstice Challenge Blocks

From Dec 21, 2016 the start of the Winter Solstice until June 20, 2017 then of the Winter Solstice, I hosted a 25 block sampler. (click here to see a image you can enlarge)

I’ve been fascinated for years about starting a project on the Winter Solstice and ending it on the Summer Solstice. That is 182 days between them this year. We have 182 days to focus on doing a project… something fun… creative.. free flowing. The Solstice Project is my personal journey you are invited to be on. I started this project with just a few blocks and the idea to use up what I had and to create 1 block a week.
