I LOVE this website! I have posted another page from her website on Art Journals. I clipped the pictures, and a few words, obviously I couldn't clip them all, and still have you be able to see it.

I realize that sometimes creative people are just scattered, like I am. I also realize that every piece I make does NOT have to be "perfect" or mean anything at all to anyone but me. Collage is another way to express myself, journal, let feelings out....art therapy.

This is what happens when I sit down to clean my desk, and/or work on a project that is due, like in 5 minutes. I get interrupted by all the scraps and colors. I see a collage from the mix of things in my bin. This is my favorite way to store scraps and ephemera: in a loose, random, pile. It really get's my imagination working. Over time I've learned to accept the random manner in which I work. I must keep a list of deadlines on my desk to remind me of my obligations, but while I work, I am away in fairy land. This is a place I want to continue visiting, even if I get interrupted by reality.  I can go back to my little world...nestled in scraps of magic and wonder, if only in my mind. xoxo Lia</blockquote><div style="border-bottom: solid 1px #dcdcdc; white-space: nowrap; margin-bottom: 8px;
