Creative Healing

[Marie]

What moves you? Is it color? Is it sound? What about children playing in the sand? All of this is creativity. It's what stirs your mind and soul. And, after reading some post on this list I did something creative JUST FOR ME.

I went to a ribbons awareness web site and downloaded pictures of the ribbons that describe me. Mental Illness, Fibromyalgia, Depression, Sexual Abuse, Self Injury. I then went into my photo program and collaged them with the words "I am Great" on it. Then, I taped it onto my kitchen cabinet so that when I look into the kitchen I see the bright colored ribbons with the words reminding me - that despite those things I am still great.

When I got done with this little project I thought two things: wow - look what I did!!!! and I have to share this.

So here is a little creative healing. Use ribbons, words, pictures, icons whatever you want - but make it yours - own it - and remember to put in big letters the words: I am Great

Wow, what a cool project! I could use some of the same ribbons that you used. I am especially moved by sound and color and textures. This reminds me of the collages I used to make and I think I will make a new one to represent me in all of my fabulous glory ...ahem. LOL :lmao: Thank you for the ideas!!!

It would be good to see your collage. If you have it as a jpeg, you could add it here for us to see?

Thanks before I became single again, etc. I was an avid scrapbooker and took every class I could find. One was on the Z pattern your eyes naturally make. :) Another was the 9 square method.. I used both here. LOL Some skills always move on to others. I challenge ya'll to make your own collages and artwork to share!!!!
