I am beginning a new project that is part surreal poetry, part visual art. I am using typography as a visual art form. The very shape and color of letters and words on a page can be visual art, irrespective of meaning. I want to create a book of visual and verbal poetry/art. I want … Continue reading New Visual/Poetic Project

Scrapbooking
I have ordered so much pretty scrapbook paper. I have been taking a lot of photos with my instant camera, and soon I'm going to either get my digital photos printed at the pharmacy, or print them out on my mini link. I wish I had a good space to scrapbook downstairs. Going upstairs is … Continue reading Scrapbooking
Busy at Home
How anyone gets bored at home is beyond me. This morning I am running laundry, picking up, and journaling with chalk pastels. Just basic abstract images, but it's therapeutic. I had to get up at 430 for ECT this morning, and they put me under anesthesia, but for some reason, when I got home, I … Continue reading Busy at Home
Photography Experiments
I've really enjoyed myself today taking photos at home. With just a few supplies, I'm having a lot of fun. I have more experiments coming up!
Verbs Under Stress
This is an abstract acrylic painting I did. I like how it turned out. I am working on another painting now.
More Digital Art Journal Pages
I've been able to stabilize my mood through creating simple art. I'm enjoying it. The rich color raises my mood. Bipolar never gets easy, and it's important to use every avenue to stay stable. Pharmaceuticals are not enough.
Digital Art Journaling Pages 2
I've been creating more journal pages. The rainbow colors make my heart sing. They're simple enough, and I really enjoy making them. I downloaded a bunch of textures to use to make more, and I still have a lot to go. It's distracting me from writing - and from the laundry.
Digital Art Journaling
Using gradients, public domain photos, my photos, textures, light leaks, texts, cut outs, and digital scrapbooking paper, I have spent the afternoon art journaling on my phone. It feels so good! It's very enriching and cathartic. Welcome to my creative space, where I strive to reap the therapeutic benefits of art. Making these art journal … Continue reading Digital Art Journaling
New Photo Series
I got brave and asked in the local military wives group if I could photograph people's homes, yards, and businesses. A few people have said yes! I feel so blessed to have this opportunity. The series will be done with My Instax Mini camera, as well as my phone connected to my instax mini link … Continue reading New Photo Series
The Beauty of Instant Photography
One of my favorite tools in my creative toolbox is my Instax Mini 11 camera. I love the soft, dream like quality of the photos. Having prints instantly is also pretty nice. I like photographs I can hold in my hand and save. Of course a lot of shots don't come out great, at least … Continue reading The Beauty of Instant Photography
