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.

The Magic Trees

In response to the Quote Graffiti prompt 1 ~

"A painter told me that nobody could draw a tree without in some way becoming a tree."

Ralph Waldo Emerson, "History," Essays


I used sequins and glitter to make the magic tree !
I spread a layer of modelling/polystyrene Glue, arrange the sequins then the glitter.

Edited 30/11/09, found Create Tuesday in world of blogging, the theme for this week is "TREE" sounds .....So the theme is to draw, paint, or create a tree or trees with your own ideas. The image of the same tree above does not do justice to the idea but I think you get the point.
