Oscraps

Welcome to this month’s theme of {CONNECTION}!

This month, we invite you to explore the theme of “Connection” in your art journal. Connection is the thread that ties us to each other, to nature, to our past, and to ourselves. It is the warmth of shared experiences, the strength of relationships, and the beauty of understanding. This challenge is an opportunity to reflect on the connections in your life and express them creatively.

Connection emphasize the importance of human relationships, highlighting how shared experiences, empathy, and belonging contribute to a fulfilling life. They suggest that connection is not just a feeling, but a vital part of our existence, giving purpose and meaning to our lives.

Some prompts about “Connection”:

Reflect on a meaningful relationship in your life. How has this connection shaped you?

Depict symbols of connection—bridges, trees with intertwined roots, hands reaching out, or anything that represents unity and togetherness to you.

Use words, textures, and colors that evoke a sense of belonging, love, and harmony.

Explore the balance between solitude and connection—how do you maintain a connection with yourself while engaging with others?

Tips for your creative process:

• Embrace collaboration—consider incorporating words or artwork from loved ones into your journal.
• Try weaving, stitching, or layering materials to symbolize interwoven lives and relationships.
• Include affirmations or quotes that inspire a sense of unity, empathy, and connection.

Here is my page. You can now see what Cheryl and I look like – two of us that do the art journaling challenges! I wanted to share a picture of a connection that scrapping gave me! Cheryl and I met finally after years of talking online. Her daughter was coming to Vegas and she tagged along and stayed with me for a few days!! True connection can really happen when you start out as online friends!!
