This message could not be deleted, could not be avoided and thanks to you I've used up 4 hours of my 5 hour monthly allowance on a stupid message that didn't even load. Please think before sending stuff like this those of us who pay per hour for both connection and phone charges can't afford this***. Sorry to vent but I can't understand why its still coming. Suki >> This really scares me! I had a probem on Monday with my computer, but so far, I haven't seen anything like you all are describing... And it seems that this was discussed LAST Thursday and Friday....was it? If it was, is this message perhaps being resent over and over again by someone who has an axe to grind. Especially since it's been mentioned that she is not subscribed to the group..... Or perhaps I'm seeing ghosts in the corners...

I think they also gave a "lecture" on it in one of the classrooms but didn't see it(couldn't tear myself away from the booths). The cards were beautiful. Some had been stamped, then cut out, and the copper molded to a 3-d look. Others were just traced and patterned with a stylus type tool I guess. Has anyone done any of this? Or can anyone that was at San Mateo last weekend shed any light on this?

When you think how we are all getting the great benefit of her time and experience, if this is true, it makes me feel very bad! I generally practice techniques at home and when they go wrong there is no one I can talk to and tell what problems I'm having, what am I doing wrong! On the POTW we can email Ginny and find out whats wrong. Its just such a great opportunity to learn this art! I for one will feel extremely bad if it is discontinued for lack of interest!!!

Sheila ------------------------------ From: Shauna Poong Date: Thu, 27 Feb 1997 10:33:46 -0800 Subject: Way TAN: Art Therapy (long) Since some of you have asked: Expressive Art Therapy is a combination of art, language, music, movement, drama, and ritual with psychotherapy. I think my story is similar to many expressive arts therapist in that I began as an artist who studied to become a psychotherapist and then found that there is this orientation that combines the two. All of us are psychotherapists and we all have at least one area of artistic pursuit. For me, it is visual and language arts. You do not have to have a degree in one of the arts but you do have to have a practice. (I often say “Art is my spiritual practice.”) Expressive Art Therapy is different from Art Therapy or Drama Therapy because it employs more than one art form. I might have a client express her anger by working with paint then she might take that drawing and write about it or pick up an instrument and give the painting a voice or a movement. Different art forms take you different places. Two important principles of any form of art therapy are: It is the process not the product and art itself is healing. Art therapies are not about creating a particular image or product. They are about using the arts to express your feelings. I always tell patients to “Let your hands pick which colors and move across the page. Do not try to create any representational image.” Then when the product is done, we will go back and I’ll ask, “What do you know about this piece?” It is amazing what pictures like this reveal. I find that just being able to express yourself in the arts is healing. (Of course we do regular psychotherapy as well.) There are some really good *self-help* books out there as well. The best is The Artist’s Way: A Spiritual Path to Higher Creativity by Julie Cameron, published by Jeremy Tarcher. Freeing the Creative Spirit Within by A. Diaz, published by HarperSan Francisco. No More Secondhand Art: Awakening the Artist Within by P. London, published by Shambhala. Creating Mandalas: For Insight, Healing and Self-Expression by S.F. Fincher, published by Shambhala. If you are interested in finding a therapist or interested in exploring becoming this type of therapist, there are some organizations that can give you referrals in your area.

Exquisite Images is in a fun area of Oakland called Piedmont. They have an ad in RSM or you can call 510-555-1212 and get their phone number. (I don't have it handy.) They carry a lot of different stamps and supplies but one thing that they carry which is unique to that store is their own line of stamps (also called Exquisite Images.) The owner is Chinese and the stamps are very artistic Chinese images. They also have the medium which allows you to create a color picture (rubber stamp, drawing, and/or photograph) have it color xeroxed, then transfer it onto fabric. If you call, they might be able to fax you some kind of list that you could chose from and have your husband pick-up.
