I just can’t seem to get it together

Mixed Media Monday’s challenge this week is “Together.” There were many wonderful images and concepts that I could use, but — being a perverse creature — none of them seemed to be working for me. Finally, as I was walking to the store, I berated myself, asking “Why can’t I get it together?” And there you have it. I had a theme. With its deconstructed face and text flurries everywhere, this collage certainly represents how I have felt this past week. Thanks, Diane, for a therapeutic way to come to grips with these feelings.

  16. I love your piece…it’s funny, I was moved to work in my journal for this prompt and then I criticized myself for the piece not “really being mixed media” and comparing to others. I found yours and it gave me permission to get off the fence and post my work. Thanks for your honesty and individuality!

  18. Fantastic! and great take on the theme

  19. I agree with Rosie, Beth – way to make lemonade! You’ve perfectly captured the disjointed feeling AND the frustration that goes along with it.

  20. Beth your page is fantastic – I just can’t get it together – is a feeling we all know, I think.
