Phoenix rising

I am back. I loaded some samples of my mail art that I have been working on. I got a new camera and I am not afaid to use it!
I have been working with Juliana Coles retreat books they are amazing. If you are into Visual Journaling and and gaining self confidence they are worth it. I am in her yahoo group and we have been trading mail art. It's really fun actually getting snail mail.

There is a very nice article on the last page of the new Somerset Studio about when we share with others artwork or journal art that is close to our hearts, it can become healing for others. It's like giving away our medicine. What you create will help someone. That is an encouragement for me to put into form a struggle or illumination that I am experiencing. It doesn't come easy for all people to create but still they have those same feelings. If they can see how to work it out through art and visual journaling it may give them the courage to try.

Check out Traci Bunkers work. A great many are finding there way to visual journaling. I think we should be positive and supportive of each other. Leave your critic out and you may feel the medicine at work within you
