Returning from this years’ AATA Conference in San Antonio thankful to have connected and reconnected with so many amazing art therapists.
It’s been busy and I didn’t mean to set the blog aside, but here’s some visual yummies to begin to make things up.
Last August (yep, 2013) I made a small accordion book. In this accordion style, I essentially pieces together several strips of paper into one continuous page that folds at repeating intervals. I gave the book purpose when I decided to use it as a place to document art techniques. These art techniques were small samplings of ones I would be using in my groups.
Today I completed the small book and am posting some of the images here with brief dialogue on some of the techniques. If there's interest I will consider separate posts later-on.

PS - For those who got glimpses of my July-Travel book while at conference stick around, I will be posting about that quite soon.
