My trip to the library to scan 35mm slides was only successful in introducing me to discoveries while I was waiting on the scanner. (I need to start over on the slide project.) Last week I mentioned finding Bead and Button magazine. The Jan/Feb 2012 issue of Cloth*Paper*Scissors magazine also got my attention. The content features Mixed Media art, which reminded me of a collage workshop I did at Heart of Art in 1999.
I Ching #10 Treading(Conduct) 1999
What a great way to encourage abstract thinking. Assignment: prepare a collage inspired by an I Ching reading. I knew nothing about I Ching. I Ching intrigued me. I read, studied and prepared more collages over the following two years. This is another favorite.
Grace #22 I Ching 1999
Discovering Cloth*Paper*Scissors not only brought back memories of projects past, but also thru their website I downloaded an e-book that has an interesting journal project using fabric. Perfect! I have many remnants from recent sewing projects. So….patterns and instructions are stowed and a journal is in the works!
