Tag: journal flip through
enough
Contemplating the essay for this week: why do we tell ourselves our art isn’t enough? why do we shame ourselves for creating something that is valuable to ourselves but perhaps no one else? How can we transmute that feeling and show up anyways?
More journal magic plus I finished a sweater
More abstract collage; grateful for this
Found my way back to inspiration for my favorite form of expression. Often I will go on creative sprints and then feel the need to take a break from this particular medium. Always a happy return. Completed after doing some Oracle art tonight. Readings still available in my Etsy, and they include a lovely one-of-a-kind mixed media artwork to go along with your message, affirmation and prompts. shops on sale 25% until Valentine’s Day.

Making Shapes
Do you play in your daily life? What says “playtime” to you?
My inner critic has not been kind to my abstract collage practice. Especially as I move through it quickly, and the pages become sparse to invite tension between the elements.
The simple layers and the shapes they make intrigue me. Lately the white space has been playing with me, inviting me to use less material for more dramatic effect. I can imagine stories of each one. They are simple, yet intricate and profound. I could fill books and books with pages like these.
Art experiments 12/5/23
Feel free to check out my abstract collage deck so far at this link: https://youtube.com/shorts/tgqjEKlfuvI?si=BXf-bvh0APyPcke5
Some of these experiments are photos of collages I already shared that have been put through a mirror filter. Currently obsessed with the patterns that arise. I would love if you would share what you see in any of these works in the comments.
Latest Substack post is available here: https://starmoth.substack.com/p/existential-dread-zines-and-other
I am looking to start a zine club! It would probably be a monthly subscription. I could probably do this via Substack or Patreon. Currently just shifting back into zine making mode so I am only off on this until the New Year. If you have preferences, please share below! I could also just make a monthly zine to purchase, or offer a 3 month, 6 month, 12 month block to purchase at once to avoid another subscription. What are you working on at the moment?
