no. 1

so the collage series begins. i probably won't be doing one every day... but maybe a few per week until i get to 100 again. this should be an interesting experiment for me, as i will be working with colors (infinitely more possibilities!).

i'm going to try and get some vintage magazines and picture books (donations welcome!) for more interesting scraps... for now i'm working with origami paper and solids from the art store.

i've been asking those big life questions again lately... like am i really happy with what i'm doing? is my notion of happiness realistic? what do i really want to be doing with my life? what is in the way of that?

and why do i spend sooooo much time "piddling" (our family term for time-wasting) online?

i need a little more self-discipline in my life... to stay on the track that aligns with my dreams and my priorities. sometimes it is so much easier to drift into numbness and just tune it all out.

here's to a friday full of clarity and focus!
