Collecting things and thoughts

I want to be more creative with some of the things I have collected than I have been in the past and in particular I want to explore how developing this blog could help in this process. I recently discovered some alphabet blocks from my childhood. As I wanted to learn how to insert a photo into my blog post, I used them to spell the word 'blog' and photographed them. Unfortunately, I then had to fall back on using my son's adept knowledge of editing software (a step too far at this stage!) to come up with the final image. I liked the idea that the blocks now spelt a word that they would never have been used for back in the 1960's. This activity has produced the first germ of an idea for an artists' book, but it's also shown me that engaging with social media could play a more positive part in my life than I was prepared to believe.
