A creative disclamer/ claimer/ manyfesto
Finally.....
Back in January of the year 2012, I vowed that I would start blogging. aaaannnnndddd...... I did not. Stumbles, Hurricanes, house work, funny knees, and writers blocks combined with figuring out how to balance the love of doing with the act of telling just left me in a stew of indecision.
Yes, it has been a bit of a challenge. This blog has been buried in my imagination, I've collected ideas, thoughts, photos and concepts.... filed them all away. But never used them or shared them because...hey...who would ever see this?
Over the years, since I started the blog and left it hanging, scrapbooking and other paper arts have morphed and blossomed and morphed again. First there was scrapbooking which had a 10 year plus heyday, and the never waning cardmaking frenzy that gripped Britain, which has seemed to supplant the billion dollar scrapbooking industry in America.
When to jump in?
... and ... hang on... There is more.... What about the steam punk of paper....zines...Traveller's journals and Junk Journals?
Those of you who love Altered Art check out Artie Phartie...the grungy cousin of Mammagussi. Altered art, zines, bookbinding, and messiness abound.
So I have decided to roll up my sleeves and finally dip my toes into the water.
Deep dive. Mix Metaphors. Live on the paper edge.
Hold on to your hats. Pull up a chair, or a mouse, or an iPad. The fun will begin in two days. Even if it is just for me.
