dream, i think you making the collage is so great. i'm sure your t will love you bringing it in to share whether or not you give her a heads up about it. i'm currently in my 4th week of the artist's way class with my t and just this week things seem to have broken through for me in many areas of my life and especially creatively. i actually just got back from the craft store buying acrylics, brushes, etc and i can't wait to throw some paint on the pad. i've never painted in my life--unless finger painting counts --so i'm excited to do this. i haven't produced much yet for this class but i did take in my one and only art journal piece and t was so encouraging. i'm pretty blocked but things are starting to crack open so it's exciting.

also, i just wanted to say that it is really encouraging to hear how art therapy is so helpful to so many here since i may end up becoming an art therapist some day.
