"6 Degrees of Creativity 2" stash arrived with Very Imortant Instructions

Stash from Suzanne in Gretchen Miller's 6 Degrees of Creativity 2 workshop Creative Goodness with Gluebooks.

 This was great fun.  Swapping paper stashes must be one of the top ways to promote creativity!  So I poured through all of these papers this morning and I pulled out Very Important Instructions with Power Panels and things that must be turned one way and another in a particular order, DO NOT step outside the line, and I though, YES, this is what I want to play with.  So I started with that and added some magazine strips that I could push the ink around on, and then some black and white imagery mostly from an old Zettiology catalog.

There's something about altering Very Important Instructions with Power Panels that's so liberating!  It was such an awesome, freedom inducing feeling.  Almost like flying!  A bit like deliberately going outside the line and saying wow, I really like that!   I think that instructions tend to make me a little anxious, I'm always afraid I'll miss a crucial step.  And these instructions looked SO important that I really had to face that anxious feeling.  It makes me want to look for other instructions to see what I can do with them.

Anyway, thank you so very much Suzanne and Gretchen!  What a pleasure.  I can't wait to see what other art unfolds and what I might learn from it.
