How to find the positive. Making positive word artworks

Positive Words Project.

I have a notebook with me where ever I go.

At a time of uncertainty a couple of years of ago I felt a need to create hope and I started to seek and explore the power of positive words.

I started to create art with the positive words cut from newspaper articles that were reporting bad news.

I wanted to find the positive from the negative, to find hope.

I also make positive word art using one of my favourite pens, a chunky bamboo dip pen and what a joy it is to use. It drips and blobs and is unpredictable with its marks and I embrace this process.

I love the freedom this creates, I can let go and allow the marks speak.

By writing a word in repetition on the paper I create affirmations, the word becomes real to me and the patterns they create bring me joy.

Why not have a go?  Make your own positive word art and let your creativity flow!
