the welcome:
to the raging wild
unpredictable weather
in and out, perfect
as it is
on the Collage College workshop with the
wonderful Jeremy Dixon
questions:
what do we want from the day*
and the name to call themself today**
make a postcard who/how things will be:
out of my head *
and Lills** it is then
COLLAGE EXPLORATIONS
altered p.cards and book cover:
will insert the book into Tesco’s book department. . .
“KRISHNAMURTI in fact INSERTED INTO LOCAL LIBRARY”
slipped the altered book into the ‘K’s, where the Penguin spine
gives no hint of the altered cover. . . .
what’s that on my shoulder
nb collage intention attained: to get out of my head and into my senses

notes from the kitchen sink studio…..
the delight of making books
* integrating rubber stamps, pochoir (stencil) and drawing *
learning pochoir, with lovely Angie Butler on her delightful slow printing workshop
was a total pleasure:
sublime to slow down, print, relax and eat cake…with other creative types
Faces, Places is a highly recommendable documentary film:
artists JR and Agnes Varda (sadly recently passed) on a road trip with purpose –
a brilliant 1hr 29mns & available now on Netflix – whoa…
my commitment to make something by hand every day (started 1st January)
continues, and took on a new aspect whilst away on retreat in Sweden
here are some of the disparate offerings made . . . .
a tiny booklet of gratitude for my room mate, with a Rumi quote,
and Wangdor Rinpoche in Sweden
a digi collage made (in Brushes app) by hand on my phone
and if you’d like to get a feel for the Balanced View Center, in Sweden,
here’s a link to a 2 minute video

Aah dear Lilla, what beautiful hand made books and collage explorations. I love your offerings too and your books inserted into the shelves of the library and Tesco!
I watched the film with JR and Agnes Varda and loved it! What a gorgeous pair. Thanks so much for recommending it to me.
Hugs from Mog x o x
