1. new blog: Melted Like Butter at Tumblr [link] - somewhere to post interesting things and art inspirations.
2. closet hideaway - I've always wanted to take pictures inside my doorless closet. Kasi....... wala lang. hehehe So one sleepless night, I did. [link]
3. wreck my jeans - a very good therapy. I grated, tore and stabbed-to-death some parts of it.
4. visual journaling - I finally started this. It's been known as a good therapy to face fears by avoiding neatness, grammar and order in writing (a very weird and fearsome task for semi-O.C.'s). And it's also a good therapy for letting go of mental constrictions by just going where your mind wanders. ::creativity outlet::
1st entry: "I don't think I'll ever be quite a grown up."
5. (another journal-related project) 100 randomized things to do in your journal - derived from Keri Smith's 100 ideas for a journal (hers is actually just up to 95, so I made 5 of my own).Keri Smith is the maker of the Wreck This Journal book: if you don't know what it is, check it out here. What I did is, instead of making a notebook and writing each task on the top of a page, I made it more random by cutting up each task in strips of paper, rolled it and put it in a mug so that I'll just pick up one each day and paste it on my journal. ^_^
And this is the mug:
some stuff inside: Fill an entire page of your journal with small circles, Make a map of everywhere you went in one day, Draw your dinner
Other pending projects:
+ organize closet like below: with color coordination of hangers (I want to be a little bit more O.C.)
+ make a floor plan of my dream bedroom (just because.)
Why I'm doing all of these: Because I want spontaneity. I want to fill my world and my little brain with beautiful and inspiring things. I want to be able to grab something or go somewhere that can take me away from reality even for just a little while...
And because there is insufficient budget for a shrink session lately. LOL
Try it, might work for you too.
