Rid Yourself Of Fear, Fearlessly!

What a stupid thing to say, do not you think? Not necessarily when you know the power of creating a single photographic collage.

Col-lage n. An artistic composition of materials and objects placed over a surface, often with unifying lines and colors.

7 Strong User create collages:

1. To break the mental image that is fear. Collage images that represent the fear and see what happens on your state of mind. Very surprising and powerful!

2. To create a visual of your dream life to magnetically attract your dreams in your life. This is sometimes referred to as Treasure Mapping.

3. To break through your conscious riddence of your inner self. Have you trained you to be an "adult" and put away your childhood passions? Your collage can reveal that part of yourself that you've forgotten, if it is your purpose.

4. To communicate a negative feeling you have for someone who can not understand your verbal message. Our mind thinks in pictures. Through pictures, we can communicate what language can not.

5. Solely as a work of art. Collage art can be very expressive and beautiful. It allows for the use of all forms of multi-media like texture objects, metal, paper, etc.

6. Revealing a pattern of thought, you might not know about yourself. As you share your collage with the other comments, they can feel anything in your that you had not realized. Suddenly you notice something about yourself without the other person, even brand your discovery.

7. Creating a visual diary of your life and passions in life. Bring your favorite life experiences made photographically. Remember photographs used as collage have overlapping edges. They are not lined up in straight rows as in a photo album. It is a great technique to use in creating a scrapbook.

Altogether creates collages is a powerful tool to use when you are stuck in any way. Fear will leave you be. Break it up with a collage of photographs that represent fear.

Stuck for ideas? Create a collage of photographs that represent stagnation. You will be surprised.

We wonder where you can easily get pictures for your collage?

Here are some ways:

1. Use outdated magazines and tear pages that seem to represent your theme or feeling.

2. Use family photos

3. Participate in a clip art site for a week and see through all their pictures and save them to stand out for you.

4. Use the remaining paper, fabric, various textured objects like flowers, leaves, grass, leaves, etc.

5. Spend the day at Pawtuckaway Lake in Nottingham, New Hampshire October 15, and create your collage with all materials provided to a day!

Collages can be made from any group of objects or photographs you want. They can be for almost any purpose.

Create a collage and see what happens!
