A Self Discovery Journey = Paper, Glue, Collage, Art theory ... not for me

The workshop I've recently been doing ...

became a reminder ...

that paper, glue, collage and related ...

is not for me! 

Drawing this exquisite floral arrangement ...

caused me brain damage ...

 drawing then a collage of the said arrangement ...

made me want to scream ...

again ...

not for me ...

the origins of the leaf ...

now that was fascinating!!

The task was making a collage on ...

"What brings you joy?"

If you know me it's the same old story ...

LIFE!

The task gave me no self satisfaction ...

I was eager for it to end.

BUT ...

all was not lost!!

The facilitators were divine, well informed, patient, gorgeous ...

the venue was superb ...

the company was interesting ...

the journey there each week was most enjoyable.

It was a learning experience!

I discovered ...

I don't like working with paper. 

Drawing, cutting, pasteing, collage is kids fun ...

the sticky gluey fingers were yuk ...

that spoilt everything else I touched ...

I loathed working with newspapers ...

I was irritated to the enth degree!!

BUT ...

In the end I wasn't disappointed ...

it had been a journey of self discovery.

I was blessed & priviledged to experience ...

the knowledge of the tutors ...

and grateful for their genuine warmth & sincerity!

Now please pass the pliers ...
there's a new roll of re-bar wire with my name on it!

  

Like a kid with a new toy + via Lo Bue extravaganza + check the Lo Bue bonanza ...

Taaa Daaaaa who's got a new toy?

'D' = Dremel ...

loving it ...

look at that face = Priceless!

Hope your weekend is as sensaish as mine ...

motivation and inspiration Lo Bue style abounds!

Hey, have you ordered your Keith Lo Bue e-book yet? HERE

Prepare to be blown away ...

by his phenomenal artistic generosity! 

My Place and Yours ... Kitchen Love ...

Two Theme Queens for this week Nic and Tracey

have chosen ...

Kitchen Love. 

The only bit of my kitchen I love is  ...

this poster bought sixteen years ago ...

in a bargain bin for $3.00 ...

at Pacific Fair Broadbeach.

At the time I simply liked the images ...

little did I know then, the ties, that this collaged style image ...

with found objects, combination, arrangement ... 

would eventually bring so predominantly in my life.

Synchronicity at its best  

  

(pardon the pic quality ... it's late I'll replace it in daylight )

Taaaa Daaaaaaaaaaa look at my new blog ...

I am one very happy, very grateful blogger to Agi @ Grumpy Cow for creating the stunning template.

Bamboozled with ideas, the notion of collage of my personal treasures ... well it says it all doesn't it?

About the title "I'm Over It" ... during my blogging time life's changed, values, traditions and irksome things and people have changed too. Actually my life is irk-free ... hence the change in the title. Yep I'm over being over it ... however the much loved, frequently used saying remains! Some things change but when I'm over it - I'm over it!

Don't forget if you'd like a blog change Agi the girl to talk to, she's patient, generous and most of all extremely talented ... you'd be silly if you went anywhere else!
