Self Love

I'm focusing on art journaling these days, have been doing little else.  I've been enjoying it tremendously...the whole process, including frequently reorganizing papers, scraps and images torn from magazines.

I like the hunting and gathering exercise, pulling a lot of things together, deciding what to use or not, playing with arrangements of elements.  It's its own kind of Zen.

It feels like a metaphor for life ~ gathering disparate elements, sifting and sorting and rearranging to create something new from the pieces that are left to work with.
