I cut myself out of my imaginings and pasted myself into the day.
I'm looking.
I'd like to work a bit with this image.

You’ve warmed my heart, again with your teachings on how to look deeper in what is seen to discover what is not seen. Thanks. I hope your toe is better.
Glad to know some warmth is transferred. The toe is better, Arnica works wonders for me.
thinking about how this paper cut-out takes us right back into our childhood. i remember the joy of drawing people on paper ‘n cutting out paper outfits for them. placing it on the window with different backdrops is great theatre. could be fun for bruno! x
Yes! Paper dolls.
I love this 💕
Lightness!
Love the light coming through… 🙂
That is always a kind of medicine somehow…
(((Jude)))…(((me)))…here we are pasting ourselves wherever we want to or need to be ❤️
I guess a community is a kind of collage
Keep warm, you and Soul-O
Warm enough!😎
So many of us moved by such a simple image of self-love. Thank you Jude.
Thank you for feeling it.
Hugs from Jude; how wonderful!
Thank you
🫂
Thank you for the hug. Such a powerful gesture.
So simple to express.
How perfect this image of you and what a beautiful reflection to be immersed in. I look forward to the outcome. ❤️
I’m happy to just be looking forward…
Thank you Jude. Such a simple bit of kindness.
Goes such a long way(in and out)😘 I sent one to one very dear to me having a very tough time after reading this.
❤️
I would love to send a copy of your self hug picture a dear friend whose life is miserable right now. Bur I need your permission. Maybe we all need hug cards to remind ourselves where our power comes from and that people care. I would be glad to send you some money for that privilege—new address? my e-mail is taichi@rockisland.com. Blessings from a caring universe and textile friends like you. Janet
Don’t be silly, pass it along!
Love this. I’ve done numerous self-hug drawings. They’re helpful to me.
yes, just the simple intention works wonders.
A hug to hold on to.
a compound hug.
Love one’s Self
🫂💖
that is how it might begin
This might sound silly but when I start feeling anxious about all that’s going on, I put a hand on my chest, close my eyes, exhale deeply a few times and tell myself that it’ll all be okay. It helps.
it a kind of hug I think. And imagining a solution.
The tenderness of this is so touching.
a simple playful moment has made me feel warmer.
The hug image is priceless. Thank you. We all need to hug ourselves in these terribly trying times. Thank you, Jude.
Yes, and then hug others.
Very Klimpt and cozy!
oh, I can see that…
Danielle Dulsky in The Holy Wild, “To be human is to be tasked to create. We are born with the capacity to feel deeply for a reason, with the instinct to make something new out of the old and birth some great majesty from the union between body and imagination.”
thought catching has a use!
Brilliant!!
💝
simple and satisfying…
I need to give myself a big hug too. I hope your day stays sunny and the wood burns well.
Yes, do, I’m sure the clouds will come and maybe a bit of snow but I am ready!
Love this! and a big hug back to you! Selfcare 💙🕊️
there are so many ways to hold oneself, I was suddenly thinking that.
That’s a great image. In the BBC News today a woman who stitches an image a day. Icon I think.
maybe just imagining is a lot like that when there is no time.
I think that by “pasting yourself in” you give yourself time to consider how to react in the situation that presents itself. Instead of immediately jumping into an emotion you stop and think about the reality of the moment and then decide what your most effective reaction would be.
I moved myself around in the camera window. I enjoyed that. How each small movement changed my perspective.
my mom’s cousin Glad (short for Gladys) used to point out how the man in the moon also contained a woman’s profile … it never really stuck with me, but this image recalled the notion
yes, every time I draw the face in the moon lately, that other crescent face appears. I’ve been doing some drawings, I will share them soon.
Good morning,
I too would like a new way of seeing myself in this cold day. May I borrow your drawing and make it me, on a center quilt block for my comfort through I making? I love the idea of a se!f hug, being the center of my comfort quilt. Have a blessed week.
Sure! A big hug to you!
I have been out of sorts recently and your words moved me this morning. I am going to work on some “imagining and paste myself into the day”. All the best for your day!
it has a lot of release built into it…
Curious…..
Love
❤️
I am going to remember that idea: pasting myself into a new reality. Yes.
it’s a kind of personal theater
Seeing that little image of self up against the glass into the day, has done something to my brain. I’m going to have fun playing with this. It’s something about getting to choose where I place myself. Wishing you a happy, satisfying winter’s day of play!
Yes! Play!
Hello, Jude. Have a nice day. ♥️🍀
Will do.
