#100DaysOfSchoolOfScratch – Instagram Recap Days 61-70

Over the next few weeks, I am sharing my #100DaysOfSchoolOfScratch Instagram video series in groups of 10 days.

I hope it inspires you to get on the decks or start your own project!

Today we are onto Days 61-70. Let’s GO!

Today marks the official end of #The100DayProject which I am participating in with the #100DaysOfSchoolOfScratch Except it’s not the end for me! You may have realised that I have missed some (read: a lot) of days. I'm on day 69 and intended to have created a scratch video every single day to reach 100 today, but I haven't. I ended my other 100 Day Project over at @emmaholmesart early on day 62 so I could focus on scratching and serving you better here. I'm actually OK with all of the above and with what could be perceived as "failure”. I don’t see it that way. The truth is, I know in my heart that I have been creating everyday, just not always for this project. I chose to make a conscious decision many days to focus on high priority tasks with the tima available relating to serving my Supa Scratch Crew in the School of Scratch and working on creating the future. Plus just plain old taking care of myself. I’ve learnt more than you can possibly imagine and some really cool collaborations, projects and changes have come into being as a result, which I would not exchange for the world. One of which I will be announcing soon involves writing a book. I’ve definitely grown and expanded as a result and this project, unfinished as it is, has made more things possible. Wherever you are in your 100 day project, be encouraged. Keep creating, it’s all that really matters, 100 Day label or not. 31 days to go. Are you with me?! To #The100DayProject and @allarminda who told me about it in the first place. I’m so grateful. ??????? Sending you all love and hugs. xxx? #Dj #skratch #skratching #scratch #scratching #turntablism #turntablist #technics #vinyl

Day 70 of #100DaysOfSchoolOfScratch & #The100DayProject. Sharing is ? and sparks creativity. This clip has a story as they all do. @thelongplayer (big ? to you girl) posted the new Black Eyed Peas video (which I love), I shared it with my students aka the Supa Scratch Crew and Dylan shared this track back. I've totally not checked out the early BEP stuff and I'm currently digging it! It inspired me to create this from the instrumental and acapella. What blew me away though was Dylan's message to our private FB group: "I just want to mention that becoming a School Of Scratch member has been one of the best things that has happened in my life time. Even though I have never met any of you, I consider all of you close friends & family. Emma thanks again for creating a scratching community as fulfilling as this is. Have a most excellent weekend." I'm so touched by that message! It's why I do what I do. Its about so much more than scratching. Thanks D for sharing and being so open. Big love to you all ?. Beat: Black Eyed Peas – Joints and Jams. #Dj #skratch #skratching #scratch #scratching #turntablism #turntablist #technics #vinyl #supascratchcrew #blackeyedpeas #bep #jointsandjams
