Opposite side of "I had a dream of fire." I'll admit it: this collage did double duty as an entry for the Kollage Kit blog and a postcard for the swap-bot swap "Burnt Mail Art." I tho't y'all might appreciate the vintage stamps & artistamps & a little "postoid", plus my penchant for glueing leftover collage elements on the other side. =grin=

Cut-paper collage created for Kollage Kit theme: "Dreams." This isn't some random collage I shoehorned into the dream theme. Like so much of my work, this is personal. I'm bipolar, and for reasons I won't go into, I had a short-lived manic episode about 10 days ago. By the time I was tossing and turning in bed around 1 AM, I felt as though my brain was literally on fire. When I closed my eyes, I could see inside my cranium—nothing but flames. When I finally fell asleep, I had a dream of fire. Lots of fire. The strange-looking liquid mass in the bottom middle was captioned "runoff from nickel mining." What I wanted was lava, 'cause there was a volcano in my dream. That's the closest I could find. The fire thoughts lingered for days, but guess what: collage (and art in general, of course) is therapeutic. After I cut out and glued down all that fire, I felt cool as a cucumber. =smile= Here is the opposite side of this postcard.
