Mystery Tramp

Sunday, June 29th, 2025

Collage is ideally suited to opening ourselves to intuitive discovery. It’s only natural for our intellect to seek the upper hand, but we can practice exercising our discernment to perceive the distinction between ordinary deliberation and a connection to the heart of creativity.

When Chance Comes to Call

Monday, June 9th, 2025

“Never put off until tomorrow what you
can do the day after tomorrow.”

— Sam Clemens, Oscar Wilde,
or some other unknown wit
 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Would that I had followed Ben Franklin’s advice in preparation for my class to share collage-making techniques and perspectives. When I “pick a card” like this and invite Lady Luck, I am more likely to find myself in the Mark Twain frame of mind. At any rate, everybody who signed up was fun to be with, all went well, I’m more than pleased, and surely I’ll do it again. We tackled multiple experiments to short-circuit the calculating mind and build intuitive spontaneity. Five participants were there on Friday and six on Saturday. My thanks to each of them and the hospitality of Kleinhelter Gallery!
