one of the important things to evolve from this exploration is
I would like to contribute & share my skills more by
running book making workshops
having experience of the benefits of clearing work/homespaces, it’s always good to re-engage with how it is now. . .
and to remember clearly
moving tables round, clearing paperwork, re purposing old spaces
all seem to invigorate the space, as well as me, energetically:
moving an old table to a new place makes a fresh writing/work space
it’s always good to have confirmation of an anecdotally significant experience,
so reading of the effectiveness of writing’s importance to health and well being
in people’s lives, from a scientific study, is always heartening:

MY FIRST LOVE – USING COLLAGE
treasure mapping & getting a sense and visual overview
of some of the qualities desired in the year ahead
in my experience, addressing intent in a metaphorical, visual way –
as well as in writing – gives access to the unconscious, serendipitous elements
of any project’s manifestation
the ‘how’ can then reveal itself. .

PRESENT WORK – JUST MADE
an homage to the beauty of trees and my marvellous ‘phone
new simply bookish ‘biz.’ cards
and this is a beautiful blank book made ages ago, that was simply waiting for
a purpose – it has become my creative projects notebook for 2016;
it was made with Guy Begbie, master bookbinder & workshop facilitator,
here’s some info on his forthcoming workshops (in Bath)
and continuing the bookish theme,
here’s the occasonal snapshot three books by my bedside
honouring the ancient art of reading and the glory of our public libraries. . .

finally, regarding masks, guises,and camouflage
what are some of yours?
a recent Artsnight programme explores this very theme,
with Nina Conti investigating how masks allow us to step out of our
psychological skins and be someone else
* available on iPlayer ’til the end of February-ish 2016 *
Thanks for your post Lilla. Your commitment to your creativity is inspiring –
The Artsnight programme is very thought provoking.
Your endless creativity bursting out again! I love the analogness of your digital world. xxx
Fantastic rich and full post Lilla. You are so generous with much valuable stuff to share.
A lot to digest.
Unworthy looks well usful and I will watch the artsnight soon.
Masks –Hmmm – maybe haircuts are?
I love your biz cards Lilla! Simply beautiful! : )) And thanks so much for the link to Unworthy. I like their quote:
“ Don’t worry about the writing being “good.” Writing is like dancing! We can all dance in our own way … and no one gets to tell you you’re dancing “wrong” because they’re not you.”
I’m writing non stop at the moment. I was wondering if the ink is making the journal heavier. It certainly feels heavier. Maybe that’s why I feel lighter!
