Art to recentre me

Wow @tyme,

3D printing?! My gosh. Your creativity inspires me even more! I had never even considered that. Fidget toys? How great!

Oh the possibilities could be endless @tyme ! I’d label all the containers in the pantry, all the spice jars. I’d go through the bathroom, the laundry… if it was your birthday or Christmas I’d create something! Lol

oh 3D printing could be fun too!

Don’t EVER knock the Cricut @tyme

Nice to meet you also @Former-Member

ive done quiet a few custom paint by numbers. Ordered them online, turning a photo into a painting. They come out pretty good! I’ve run out of wall space to hang them though.

bunnings have a lot of mosaic supplies. I might give it a try in the summer school holidays with my daughter. Thankfully she has picked up my creative genes and loves to do anything arts and crafty.

Wow, your wall of paint by numbers sounds wonderful @Bow. What a way to liven up a space.

bunnings? Oh, well now I’ll just have another excuse to visit. I have seen their craft section. I think I recall seeing the tiles for mosaics. But I fear I’ll be sidetracked by all the other amazing stuff in that store. Big Bunnings fan here.

Hey @Former-Member

I love that you use all of those creative forms to express and recentre yourself. I love to draw but aren't that great. One of my favourite things is collage. I've read a lot about it helping with mental health. My daughter is doing design at uni and she did these super cool collages for one of her assessments. I need some tips from her.

I've always dreamed of buying a Cricut one day!!!

Collage! I love that idea of collage, @hanami! I recall reading this idea of a type of collage where you rifle through some old magazines, newspapers etc and select images that correspond to the authentic life you want. Say, if you long for that chicken coop pictured in the magazine, you cut it out and paste it in your scrapbook. I tried this a long time ago for some time and it was such a wonderful way where I could just dream! And you have this collection of images to thumb through when you are feeling down. I might start that up again 😊

YES @Former-Member !!! You might like a read of this https://intuitivecreativity.typepad.com/expressiveartinspirations/2018/12/intuitive-collage-step-by-step.html

Also, if you can't be bothered reading...I google 'collage art ideas' and heaps of youtube clip come up!

Enjoy

Hi @hanami,

I did have a read of the article, and it’s definitely something I want to try out again…thank you for the post🙂

@Former-Member I'm super happy that it was helpful for you! My absolute pleasure.

I'm keen to do some myself now as I haven't done any for a while.
