I love this too.

The words you’ve chosen resonate for me too. Lovely reminder at this time of year.

Oh, that’s cool, Norene. I’m glad you’re taking it. :blush:

I signed up because it looks intriguing, but not sure if I’ll get to it - still struggling with a bad cold, plus back to work tomorrow. But maybe I can explore creativity abit from the bed or couch. Or since the replays are up until January 23rd (I think) - I might get to it later when I’m more alive and less of a blob. :zany_face:

I hope you feel better soon and will be able to watch the re-plays. It’s hard to be creative when you are feeling ā€œblobby.ā€

Ha ha - yes, I think I’m gonna be ā€œblobbingā€ my way through work this week.

Share some of your collage experiments here if you feel like it. Would love to see them.

I’ve been enjoying the collage classes so far and managed to find some inspiring supplies at the Dollarama today. Hoping I’ll get feeling better soon and be able to participate abit. It’s all I can do just to drag myself to work & back, mostly. But seeing what others are creating in the Facebook group lights me up. So much fun with color.

I’ve been enjoying the classes too! I like Cat’s approach: guidelines not rules! Looks like you found some good supplies; I hope you feel better soon so you can join the fun. I’m kind of a slow poke; this is where I am with lesson 1.

Nice. I love your warm color choices & the patterns. I started cutting out and gluing down some squares last night while laying in bed, and it was great fun. Surprising how much just abit of playing with colors and shapes can cheer me up. (I’ll share a pic later when I’ve got the first collage grid done).

Lesson 1 - "Well, it’s not actually done, but I thought I’d share what I’ve got so far. I couldn’t get myself to follow the ā€œguidelinesā€ - only using 2 papers in each square felt too limiting, only using a warm or cool color theme didn’t suit me, and ultimately I couldn’t even keep my images inside the little blocks either :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes:. But I’m having a total blast and I think that is what matters. I wanted to do more, but my body is calling for more rest now.
