I made art today! It's been a looong time!

I've been meaning to turn my inkblot play into posters for the home. Maybe even look at an Etsy shop or something?

I've also gotten into Stoicism and have been doing my fair share of reading on the subject to help me manage my mental health.

For now it's all just play and a brief pause from every day life but it would be fun to further explore opportunities to turn my play into posters.

Day -11 : #ArtTherapy

“Break the trauma-bonding & make a PLUS out of it”

Or:

“Break the trauma-bonding & make an X out of it”

AND

… “& get rid of the Y” ?!

Or … “This is now an X”!

Or … “but keep the positive memories”? But how?! TBD! Work In Progress!

(Inspiration in cycles?! )

Day -19 : instead of: “The healing starts in the bonding” , I’m processing “the insecure attachment is in the bondage”:

My new art piece & its symbolism:

Huge Y (why?!!?!)

Also: fork in the road

& the metal-wire bond which is burdened (with problems & hopes); the blue&pink rope bond that’s full of spikes & arrows: some Cupid’s, some from the BBQ ;)

Also TREES! Greens! Branches! Sunshine! Heat! Photography!

… and then the shadow aspects of it all!

I drew this after my recent art workshop in partnership with ME Action! I felt so much connection and awe (also, exhaustion and brain fried ofc).

Thank you everyone who participated in the workshop or helped make it happen in any way. It was truly magic.

P.S. I have art in an art exhibition about art for therapy & health, and I think the exhibit is really incredibly curated. I can’t believe 21 views of long covid received an honorable mention amongst so many phenomenal artists’ & powerful pieces!

I’ve completed an art assignment quickly & energetically & creatively

Pigment smearing also happened this afternoon. Just one hour. It's a therapy, it's a therapy.

Packing up for travel to BCN for #arttherapy summer school at #metafora starting next week

Lyra is an anxious traveller

So many things that can go wrong

So many possibilities for meltdown triggers

Paws and everything crossed

and these two thingies i did recently. the ink's Ostrich Sycamore Tree. i used the same Leonardt Hiro 41 dip nib for the first one ('tis really tiny) n just a random noname brush for the second one. i've no idea how sycamore trees look like so doodled something random n willow-like ig?? the second pic is just a bunch of random landscape-like figures i drew mindlessly just to enjoy the feel of the ink. i do like how it all looks like and am gonna use these landscapes for future art and projects.

There's a psychological toll to having to deal with an overwhelming tornado disaster ... not to mention the loss of all but 2 of my trees. I work my feelings out through my art, and I made this one yesterday.

Today, I feel humbled and so much gratitude to my community who have helped me get through this (including all YOUR positive vibes). my next cup design will be more up lifting, i promise.

A watercolor painting of a Japanese geisha/geiko/geigi woman in MediBang Paint . I made this geisha woman painting for relaxation and to help me get some sleep. I felt relaxed. My nervous system kicked in while making this Geisha woman drawing. After I made this geisha woman painting, I fell asleep in ten minutes.

A pencil drawing of a Japanese geisha/geiko/geigi woman with my eyes closed I made while having an anxiety/a panic attack. I felt relaxed.
