with Claudine Hellmuth and her collage book, “Collage Discovery Workshop – Beyond the Unexpected: New Techniques Using Color, Personal Imagery and Creative Surfaces.” Seriously, I’ve been carrying the book around in my purse. I read it whenever I get a chance and when I’m not reading the book I’m thinking about it. I’ve dreamt about the book and all the things I can do with the ideas Claudine shares. I’ve come up with a bunch of different collages I want to create and I can’t wait to get to work. For the most part, I own everything I need to try out all the different techniques Claudine teaches in her book, but yesterday I picked up a few last supplies and I’m ready to go.
Today I’m going to create my first project, it is inspired by the Beatles, since there has been a lot of Beatles Rock Band playing going on in my house! I was listening to the lyrics of one particular song last night and I was stuck by how much the words mean to me right now. It heard exactly what I needed to hear … which is interesting ’cause I’ve heard this song about a million times and have never been so moved, inspired or buoyed by it. Don’t you love how things speak to you in different ways, at different times in your life?
I can’t wait to show you what I create. After this particuly collage, I have another one planned (also inpsired by a Beatles song), and I’m going to be using items from the current Crazy Daisy Kit to make it! There are so many cool ways you can use your kit … it doesn’t just have to be on a scrapbook page.
Are you doing anything cool today? What’s inspiring you? Do you any fall projects planned? Do tell, we want to hear and share!
