Collage, the Power of Assemblage: the second MARY notebook is out
Partager
Some days, we feel a little in pieces. Too much going on in our heads, too many images, wishes all tangled together. Collage starts right there: with pieces. We cut, we tear, we move things around, and little by little something takes shape in our hands.
The second MARY wellbeing notebook is now available: Collage, the Power of Assemblage.
Why collage
With collage, you don't need to know how to draw. The images are already there: in an old magazine, a sheet of tissue paper, a button forgotten at the bottom of a drawer. You simply choose what draws you in, without overthinking, and then put it together.
Cut, place, glue: the gesture is simple, and it soothes.
And often, looking at the result, we discover what truly mattered to us that day.
What's inside
Nine workshops, at your own pace
- The color of my mood
- The words that speak to me
- Drawing with scissors
- The chance collage
- My safe place
- Me, in chosen pieces
- Painting and gluing
- The mended paper, inspired by kintsugi
- The mosaic of my wishes
You'll also find the list of materials (magazines, plain papers, buttons, beads, a few treasures gathered in nature, and a simple piece of parcel cardboard as a base), and a little logbook to note your mood before and after each session, keep a trace of your discoveries and see how far you've come over the weeks.
Who it's for
For you, if you'd like a pause that's just for you. For anyone who thinks they're "not creative". For lovers of paper, colors and the little things we keep. No experience needed. Shaped by my art therapy training, this notebook guides you step by step, gently, without judgment.
How to get it
The notebook is available in three languages:
- On Amazon, as a paperback (Portugal included), or as a Kindle ebook to read straight away.
- In person, if you live in the concelho de Mafra: just write to me at mary@lenon-b.com.
What's next
Volume 3, "Modelling: The Power of Touch", is out in French, to get your hands into clay; the English and Portuguese editions are on their way. MARY Kids "Painting" is already here to create with a child aged 4 to 10. And on Saturday 21 November, I look forward to welcoming you at the Café MARY: registration is open.
Take good care of yourself.
Lenon
