I'm glad to read your views about reblogging, which are very good points as well. Some people may think of reblogging as a simple re-sharing feature, but it's actually much more than that.
Only now am I starting to realize that it's more than just a tool. In many instances, it serves as a way to connect with others.
I'll look into Inkwell and LMAC. Hopefully, I can create some collage works to contribute to the LMAC community soon. Thanks for sharing information about these communities!
I have been writing ever since I was a young child, so that comes naturally to me. I love to write and I love to encourage others to write (that's the teacher in me). However, collages are a new venture for me. I first attempted it in 2019 with @shaka's invitation to try our hands at making a collage. I am all thumbs, artistically illiterate, but I jumped in and have been in ever since. For someone who is not an artist, it's a great way to communicate graphically. @shaka was very kind to me in the beginning, and I hope we continue that tradition going forward. Expression through art is good for the spirit, and good for the brain. And it's a great way for newbies to get their feet wet on Hive.
You can tell I'm a true believer :))
Thanks for sharing a part of your background and how you became involved in LMAC. It's truly inspiring!
As someone who has recently delved back into art (again), I can relate. I say "again" because I used to do a lot of drawing as a kid, but then I took a long break before picking it up again. For me, art feels like a form of escape—whenever I create, I tend to pour all my focus into it. It's as if drawing allows me to silence everything around me.
I'm not sure if I'll feel the same when creating a collage, but I'll give it a try soon! :)
