The therapy of magazine cutting

I collected articles about Travels when I was in school ~ I still love traveling

I collected articles & pasted them in my diary when I started work ~ I need motivational/encouragement

And now, I collect images (ephemera) for journal play ~ I need retreat section

Therapeutic value of magazine cutting (for me)

1) Find inspiration throughout the process
2) Calm my mind & nourish my soul (sometimes hurt my back)

3) To save more room (ooh...my messy art room)
4) Revived those pretty images under the huge stacks.
5) Saving those images for journal, the images speak to me.

Grid Lock : Security Envelopes

" Form a grid on a journal page & fill with evidence. "

In response to challenge in recent Michelle Ward Crusade No.41.

*********************

The E N V E L O P E.

I found those used envelopes in my workplace.
The design is simple but interesting and inspiring.
I create a grid collages using those patterns.

Closer look of the patterns.

The pattern of the bottom left (green) was from Japan and bottom right (with grid thread) was from India.

More projects / ideas to be share ....kindly go to Crusade 41 ~ Grid Pattern.

Mangrove Swamp

We visited the protected Taman Alam mangrove swamp, an ideal spot for bird-watching and witnessing swamp creatures at Bukit Melawati, Kuala Selangor.

Lotus, the pink is almost peaking.

What an fresh outing day to relax our mind....

Something to remember

Those vintage Asian labels are remarkable
The washi masking tape
The crochet stitches

I just realised that I have posted at a rate of at least 1 post per day since Mar' 2010 until today.
I have so much to update but seems that time was a major constrain for me at the moment.
But ... see how..
