just an update - gawd, this is like talking to myself - but it is good to get it out.
I guess I could put all this in my journal but the comments help me !
I just sit and look at this collage this morning, forcing myself to do something wonderful or even just something, anything. so I paint, cut glue and all that - squeezing the skeric of creativity from my soul......but then I got to thinking - maybe I need to make myself a healing doll. Maybe I am meant to just lookat other peoples art, mixed media and such and sighing with delight. Letting it touch my soul - maybe, just maybe that is what I am supposed to be doing. who the hell knows, cause I don't. I have this dreadful ache in my chest from anxiety about it all and this morning, I thought I was having heart attack, I truly did. for what? cause I can't collage. silly, silly me.
I can do altered art for others - love that! I can make healing dolls for others as well as myself. I can write and doodle in my journal and not worry - the card I picked today from my angel guidance cards was :release and surrender....guess I should take note!

I cant wait to see your healing dollie.. you've inspired me to work on mine and design her in my written journal..
Thankyou, thankyou for being sucha groovie person Robyn!!
Peace, Kai.
Love your new home,,very cozy. I am glad you didn't stop blogging. That would be so sad. I hope you had a great New Years Eve!
Ahhhh come on Miss*R do you really think you have to be able to do everything you try as well as the ones you think are the best. I know I know bet you do so do I. I hate it when I try some thing and can not do it as good as what I have seen. We really have to learn just to do the things we can and play at and enjoy trying the other things. So one of my new years resolutions is going to be enjoy doing the new things I am trying even if it is crap in my eyes. Besides just because I think it is crappy does not mean someone else will. Love hugs and Blessings to you. Be as kind to yourself as you are to everyone else.
Treat yourself kindly, don't be harsh, keep drawing and painting at some point you will say oh I like that one, believe me it happens, look at me I had a 30 year break from actual drawing and painting. Just keep going.
Hello Ms. Robyn!!....Thisis another lovely site..wonderful..I wish I could be half as creative as you are..
Happy New Year!..:>
See my same comments in the post below. Don't be anxious - every day is different. As the song says, some days are diamonds; some days are stones. The trick is to make the most of what you have at hand, but not to stress about it all. Stress is not conducive to art and vice versa! xo
You create wonderful healing dolls. Why not create a healing collage? Skim through a magazine and choose words and pictures that feel good or healing to you. Cut and paste according your feelings
(not what you think will be acceptable art) Just be true to yourself....you will be surprized at the result.
I love the sound of a healing doll. Why is doing art collage so important to you? It sounds like you're creative in many ways. Perhaps this isn't the right time for gluing things? Go with what feels right, perhaps it'll steer you back to the collage but if not, sail away with what works for you.
I agree with sacred suzie....do what feels right for you. I think there is so much wonderful mixed media to look at that we get overwhelmed with it and think we have to create some too. That's what I've been experiencing. But maybe we aren't mixed media artists. I think your dolls are wonderful. Maybe that is your thing.
