Creative Therapy

Jen September 21st, 2008

So awhile back I received an email from Karen Grünberg asking if I would like to create a catalyst for Creative Therapy. As one who issues art challenges to other’s how could I not participate?!? Further it was so far in the future I really didn’t have to think about it right then. So of course I said yes! Chose my catalyst from a number that Karen suggested and put it on the back burner to percolate.

Fast forward 4 months and I was no closer to creating my piece. I did know that I wanted to use the catalyst: What’s a negative behavior or habit you have overcome? - for an assemblage, something I hadn’t done before. And I also knew that it would likely be doll-esque. You can view the end result as well as read more about the specific process on Creative Therapy. In the meantime here’s a sneak peek:

Oh! And did I mention if you participate you might get RAK’d? Go visit and find out how. Thanks again Karen!

    Holy cow! look at this! I went over and saw it in its entirety, and I just have to say it’s a really cool piece. Thanks for sharing.

    I know how those challenges sneak up on ya…

    Speaking of which, isn’t there a ‘Change’ due…?

    I better get to it!

    ooh! bones!! Well you have me hooked. And yes the guerilla knit ups are in Newtown, right opposite the station, how cool you spotted it. Thanks for your comment on my tanty, I hope I will be able to understand this wing thing better as a result.
