Fascinating to follow your thoughts and your process here, Stella! I loved this journey of yours back into abstract collaging. You're an inspiration!
I loved all the art you've shown us here, but the last piece is my favourite. What I like about it in particular is the 'breaking through' of the section with the lettering on. Awesome.
I love your perseverance, Stella. It’s such an important piece of the process to keep persisting and figuring out what we’re *not* trying to make. I think it helps us see what we *are* trying to make in a more obvious way. Like your final collages— you’re like YES! THAT’S IT! And away you go!!!
I hear you, Stella! My clinical work is taking all my focus right now. I guess we really do live in tiny microseasons that ebb and flow and call us to different ways of living. 🌿
Thanks for sharing your artistic journey, Stella.
I think it's just part of the creative process to sometimes produce something not so strong or meaningful but as you've said and done, keep going.
These collages are stunning, congratulations!
The simpler collages definitely work well. (I regularly do Zentangle. 2 inch squares are a joy to work on! 😃)
Beautiful work, Stella! Those bold color palette, yellow and charcoal/black, looks amazing!
During the pandemic I did a lot of abstract collages. I love the process. Yours look great!
Thank you for sharing this. I love looking at other peoples notebooks and sketchbooks - they are always so raw and personal.
Keep up the collaging, I think they are great. 👍
I love your collages so much.

Stella! These notebooks are so beautiful! I'm bookmarking this for future editions of my favorite notebooks on Substack!
These are really great and super inspiring!

Lovely the way in which you recount your process for us. That takes time - as much as making the collage - and much appreciated.
