I love this ♥️ especially reading about how the materials speak to you. This part really spoke to me - "My life pulses with invisible threads" 😍

I wish the zines were mine but it was a restack of Hannah's work. I'll come back with a link. They are absolutely incredible aren't they?

You’re so kind, Mercedes! One of the best people on here.

Ah who is being kind now? ;)The trail of typists is testament to my panic but all's well that ends well. ;)

I can't edit the comment to add the link to the rightful creator so I am doing a new comment.

Now I am not in a panic to not take. Resit for someone's else's work,I am going to sit back and enjoy reading your post! ;)

Don't worry, I'll fix it! Enjoy the read.

*take credit for. In the panic I did extra typos;)

The hybrid piece in particular really spoke to me. I like the little white boxes, feels like the thoughts being processed or a process map following it's yes no route. I like the happy ending because those kind of thoughts, esp in a loop, are exhausting. Really like the dots in that too.

Ooh, how interesting that the hybrid piece drew your attention, loved hearing your take on what you saw. Thank you for being part of this conversation.

Oh no I just spotted yet another autocorrect betraya in my previous commentl (its*). I appreciate being welcomed into the conversation, thank you. :)

“Do more of what brings you joy”. Hope this proved cathartic, Debs. Brilliant creativity and brave, admirable openness about your inner thinking. Fabulous work.

Oh my goodness, thank you Barrie. This one did feel more vulnerable/ open than usual. There is always some level of catharsis in every 'creation', but not always closure or resolution. Thanks for being a part of this conversation.

Collage is probably one of the most creative and totally absorbing crafts I know. If I were an artist this would be my medium.

Interesting to see you use this as for Moodling Debs.

Debs Stott's avatar

It really is absorbing, and for me that encapsulates exactly what moodling is - that slow, flow-based absorption, without a known destination or end product. And can I say, that collage is not just for "artists", it is one of the most accessible mediums out there. You've probably done it unconsciously before.

Thank you so much for the shoutout! I’m glad the theme resonated.

A pleasure, as an 80s teenager, I was hooked as soon as I saw the typewritten photo!
