very personal precious cut outs from various magazines. i have folders here full of these pseudo-collages. i love them so much. it cheers me up just to look at them. i feel like it's my own personal disneyland. i also love the fact that something so simple, literally paper and scissors, just makes me glow.
i'm a fan of handwritten letters, calligraphy lessons, bookbinding (obviously, check out my flickr), handmade stamps and embossing them yourself at home, origami, tangram, puzzles, polaroids, markers, watercolor...
eventually the plan is to make these inspirational pages (the 1st one is the photo above) into little artist books. art is something i'm not willing to make a compromise about. when it's too close to your heart, i don't think you can compromise. i have a "9 to 5 job" that i do enjoy but my precious moments in my life i keep to myself. cutting things from magazines that inspire me whether it's through handicraft or colors or the fact that i will actually make some of these projects myself just makes me very happy.
