Saturday was simply wonderful. I think one underestimates the power of time spent just unpacking the humdrum of our life and investing it with creative meaning. It's a powerful thing to be able to express in color and unformed word - but word none the less - the power of our hidden resources. We all have artistic abilities that remain hidden because life/time or circumstance just cannot allow us to access them. Saturday was the last class of the first MoJo Module. We summarized, drew the major lessons from the module on Accessing Creativity, finished the paintings, drew the workbooks together and completed an artists book, titled The Self Portrait and the Seed. We cannot (me included!) wait to begin the next Module, scheduled for 9 March D.V. at the MoJo Studio.

The Site is Quiet but I am not!
Workshops are on-going, but my photographing is not! These are the last photo's taken at a workshop held during the Letters to Spring exhibition. It was fabulous class - just the right size for a one-off GIVE ME BACK MY MOJO! Things come out - as they are want to... but thats ok - thinking about 'blocks' is the first step in accessing truly creative thinking.
MoJo Module 2 - Of Making books there is no end...
Using my own 'new' way to think, I solved the problem of journaling in a 'different' way. We all have journals, perhaps quite a few - most of which are not full - right? I'm not giving it away...but what a wonderful solution - a good conclusion to 'practice what you teach'! Two classes in quick succession so I have just combined the photographs, but one participant at the MoJo studio had not painted before - amazing results for the book spine... we were BOTH very excited! We tackled book making, discussed chapbooks and zines and started paper altering techniques. Of COURSE I had way too much material to present, but never mind - we have 6 weeks to do this, so time to get cracking! Well done everyone - what a mess, but what a joy... Michelle and Zelda - thank you once again for your hospitality. Prior to starting and before we were FULL at eye4art. If you have not visited this gallery - do yourself a favour and go. Michelle will also be...
