Ever since the birth of my daughter four years ago, I’ve discovered a powerful refuge from the chaos of daily life in my paper crafts. What began as a creative outlet quickly became a source of solace, offering me a calm, meditative space amid the whirlwind of parenting and everyday responsibilities. My collage practice has not only nurtured my creativity but also brought unexpected mental health benefits, providing me with a sense of balance and mindfulness. In this blog post, I’ll share how the simple act of arranging paper can do the same for you.
We continue our series of interviews with journalers and paper artists, and I’m
delighted to bring you an interview with Maarja (on Instagram as
@papermoor).
One of my favourite creative journalers on Instagram is Alice of @dustyrose_journal. I asked her a few questions about her journaling practice and you can find her answers below. This is the first post of an interview series with various designers and creative journalers. I hope you'll enjoy it!
