Recently my friend Kathy from the PaperPumpkin suggested a book, for inspiration on Art Journaling. This isn't something I've done before, but I do enjoy making collages and such, so I did a little search to see what this book was all about. To my surprise, you can even see a few pages from inside the book on Amazon.com, which I thought was really cool.
So, I thought I'd ask what types of things you like to do, when you're down but looking to make yourself smile again. It think I've found myself at a time where I'm looking for some way to heal from loosing Marley. I know it's still too soon to get another cat, but I'm having trouble getting through the day sometimes, and I guess you could say I need to find a way to start healing and moving on.
Maybe this afternoon I'll sit down and try making some new ACEO's. I haven't made any in quite a while, and it's always been something that lets my creative juices flow. Cutting up paper and playing with paints... it's my time to get messy and craft like a kid again. I never really know what I'm making until it's made, but I suppose you could say it's my own form of art therapy. So tell me... what turns that frown upside down for you?
