Working on collage see 10/20/02

We worked on our Collages this meeting.. 

Group Collage Project

----------------------------

Fearlessly connected to the power and beauty of images that inspire us.

Joan wanted a planned group collage based on insights. We brainstormed some ideas.

Edwin - People - I get inspired by people, sometimes, sometimes not.

I had the awareness about my collage. At first I choose pictures that had the feel of inspiration.. It tended to be mountain scenes. I kept adding images to the point where it became crowded. This depressed me with all the clutter.. I began working with it and organizing the clutter and it was slowly taking shape.

 

Sandra - First planned the collage, then forgot the question, went to a more freeform approach. what happened happened..

beauty is the inspiration,

seeing beauty everywhere is inspiring.

 

Gary

creation is in us, power of creation.

power is inside up.

feel deeply into your being

 

Joan - inspiration from participation

being engaged, being connected with feeling

 

Ida -fearless to tell the truth, frees up energy.
