@Renee Daniel What is here is just an image. I can’t seem to access any kind of introduction.

@Renee Daniel Ok, I was able to “go to the classroom.” Thank you for pointing me there.
MiniZines
I am teaching this Children’s song to my twin great-grand-daughters. I thought it would make a cool little book, so I learned to make a mini-zine out of one piece of paper. You fold it, make 1 cut, then unfold it, then fold it again a particular way for the little 8 page book. YouTube has videos on the procedure. AI created the art. So, none of this is original, but I plan to make some original ones in the future.

Playing Around With Soft Pastel & Water Colors
I find myself unable to build this community resources like I really want with just creating art as the focus. So I am shifting into Grief Work. I have tried to get beyond grief and loss but it is actually a living part of my being everyday. So I decided just yesterday to focus on grief work that includes creating art. The flow just came automatically and I have already created my community introduction. I just need to add videos to complete the course. I set the community to public just to attract 25 active new members and we will set it back to private. Once I complete the videos for the introduction when it is completed I will let you all know. Blessings,

@Renee Daniel Hauntingly beautiful. I like how you are sharing your process with us and keeping it real.
You are both on my heart
@Jaye Brunner @Kathryn Dowell I want you both to know, not a day goes by without thinking about each of you. You both know that I am creating this community before I am ready. I am in another community that is guiding me into creating a dynamic yet peaceful and meaningful community with courses and experiences. I have the first module created but I ran into the harsh reality of creative block. Therefore, I am shifting my first course and experiences around getting around the self-critic and fear of creating that is holding me and maybe you as well, back from expressing ourselves. Here is a painting that I am working on, documenting my process of moving through the dynamics of creative blocks. I tell you both the main ingredient that is certainly helping me is the yearning to show up in this community with authentic creative process in creating from our heart in our own way but also learning about materials and techniques as well. So, the block moved out of the way enough to start this painting yesterday. Just an update on my preparations and heart for us creatives. Blessings

@Renee Daniel Well, at least I learned the @ thingy… Actually, I have learned more. I don’t think you should have “/writing” added to this platform title. I personally liked it as “Creating Art as Prayer,” which was your original intent. Art has many subsets, but I think you should focus on what you envisioned, rather than dilute it (in a way) with what I suspect was influenced by my comments on writing. In other words, keep to your vision, which is unfolding beautifully. https://youtu.be/GWFpf6MdcQo?si=iLR2t-FDKyQFfub8

1. I am mostly a writer with sprinkles of art here & there. I like making 1 to 4 panel comics and using AI for the heavy lifting of drawing it. 2. i live in Cartersville, GA, about 1 hour north of ATL. I like that it’s a small town, but not forever—the city is outgrowing its infrastructure. Cars whiz outside on the state highway in front of my house and the noise is getting to me. 3. Funny, I found a job for my husband here on Rollins Ranch just using my fingers to search on the prompt on the internet on my computer in 1998. There were no GUIs at this point. I hated the move from TX to GA, but it was a very good move, all told. 4. I really am not hoping for anything. I kind of think I might be in the wrong space here. Yet, I’ve been more creatively active since joining. 5. I like good colored pencils, maybe pens, and Craypas. Watercolor is nice too, but intimidating. Mostly, I don’t like the clutter that artists usually need to work. 6. I like the small can of Blue Red Bull, but they have discontinued it. 😢 When my daughter is around, she makes a stellar cup of coffee whilst I make breakfast. Otherwise, the coffee doesn’t taste quite right.
