Artful Play
The pics for this spread happened within my first week of registering for this class and I’m so glad I finally put it together! The memory of the day makes me smile.
I had an appointment with my NeuroSurgeon in the morning that I knew was going to be icky. As a tradeoff, I planned an afternoon trek to the newly relocated International Newstand (one of my FAVE places!). The store was still in relo disarray and way too crowded so I wandered into the cafe next door (also new to me). I found an unexpected delight – the cafe features a “local artists” gallery which was different and edgy. Loved it and took my time exploring. Then, in the back, tucked behind a corner and by the bathrooms, was a floor-to-ceiling magnet board! It was filled with magnets of all types to play with – alphabets for kids, magnetic poetry words from several different sets, etc.
Of course I had to play – I made lots of found poetry and then photographed some of it. Below are the 2 that made it to my journal spread. “I AM” came from one of our initial prompts -the words around it were whatever was in proximity. “Fear is Lethal” resulted from the many emotions the Neuro brings out for me.
Thanks for sharing my Artful Play day with me!
