Something’s not right

My Mosaic

My Mosaic

My Mosaic

I like mosaic art, I’ve never actually done any, but it intrigued me. Made up of hundreds of tiny pieces of stone, glass and ceramic. If you look at it close up it doesn’t really look like anything special, if anything it looks like a mess. But if you take a step back and view the whole picture- it’s a master piece. I guess it’s kind of like life. So many tiny parts, some messy if we look just at the one part. Some day i guess I’d hope that the mess of my life will at some point look half decent.

So here is part of my mosaic, bits and pieces kept tidy together 🙂

tagging you @Emelia8 cause you asked 🙂

Re: My Mosaic

Yep, that is the whole aim of the group @Jynx .,.. to build up the healthy adult within us and provide our vulnerable child with what they need.

we worked through a work sheet on Monday, which went beyond just recognizing the modes, and we talked about the healthy adult and stuff. We both really struggled with that!

We are still to learn all that stuff!

yeah I seen that… told @tyme i might see how I go and pop in

@Bow a challenging process, but I can already see how helpful it is for you! I mean even just having more neutral language to describe these internal processes is phenomenal, and will help you to de-stigmatise your thoughts and actions!

See how you go, if you don't have the energy there's always the post-chat thread where we continue the conversation 😉

It has been helpful already @Jynx it feels good when I have them ah-ha moments and I get something, or I understand the link between this and that and why I do this.

had to leave chat. Too much for me tonight and couldn’t keep up.

Thanks @tyme @Shaz51 @Jynx

just tucked my munchkin into bed and have crawled into bed myself. It’s so cold! I don’t like to complain about winter… and how cold it gets cause I absolutely hate summer. But the nights sure do get chilly and I can’t wait to crawl into bed of a night.

@tyme I have to get some work done over the next 2 days cause we have a market on Sunday. And I got some supplies in the mail today for some Father’s Day stock that I’m gonna do. And then some other stuff coming in the mail to play around with and see what I can make.
im facilitating arts and craft next week. Teaching everyone watercolours. They will create a pretty background and then write a quote or something over the top.

Re: My Mosaic

Wow @Bow . Incredible. I was only JUST about to ask if you'd run classes. I remember attending a DBT art class in the past. It was really good.

Truly amazing. I can't wait to see some of your projects.

Please don't over do it though. Look after yourself.

Re: My Mosaic

@Bow you always keep surprising me with just how talented you are. I'm sure the water colour session will go great. Of course it will if you are running it.

So looking forward to seeing some of the fathers day art. Would love to buy one of you!

Hoping today goes ok for you hon 💕💕

Re: My Mosaic

Good morning @Bow

I meant to say yesterday that it was great seeing you on PGC Thursday night. I know it moves really fast at times. Sometimes I struggle to keep up with the pace of it all. You did a really good job.

I hope today goes well for you. They have called of our local market for tomorrow because of the weather. Looks like it is going to get worse again. On a positive note, they have had lots of snow!!
