Glimmers are small moments of joy | Collages Week 6
For me, each and every one of these collages is a little glimmer, a moment where I got to sit down with my glue stick and my papers and make art. Even when everything feels a bit too much, I love that. I share them here in the hopes that you will feel or notice a little glimpse of my glimmer moment as well – or even find one of your own within the art. That would be amazing.
This blog post contains collages number 36 to 42 of the year, as I continue creating in my series “365 collages in 2025”. Enjoy.
Glimmers are small moments of joy that can bring light to even the darkest days. Glimmers can have a significant impact on mental and emotional well-being. Research has shown that regularly experiencing positive emotions can improve physical health, decrease stress, and even greater longevity. That’s why it’s important to step back and discover your glimmers.

My glimmer moments come when I make time for what I love. When I find joy in the ordinary and in my everyday. When I remember to feel grateful for my art practice. When I sit and glue, which leads me to feeling that mindfulness we all long for.
And to complete the list of when you can experience glimmers: when I document what I have created (seeing them with new eyes on the computer) as well as sharing them with you guys, celebrating my progress with you. I hope you go out and find your own glimmers this week.
Thank you so much for clicking over, taking a look and leaving me a comment below telling me which of these collages you like best – and why you like it.
About this project: I am making one collage for each day of the year in 2025 and blogging seven at a time each week here. I have created 365 artworks in a year thrice before so I am hopeful that I can do it again. Please also check out week 6 2013 (valentine’s edition) and week 6 2018 (animal friends) – and leave me a comment if you find a new favorites along the way. I’d love to know which of these you like best – and why you like it. Thanks for helping me finish this by cheering me on. I appreciate you being here.

Greetings, Hanna! I’ve been looking at every post of your collages and while I can’t comment every time, I receive “glimmers” looking at them. Love the first collage here, the textile texture of it. Also the blue flower embroidery one. Guess I’m drawn to needlework. Hope you continue to experience joy in your collage-making. Thanks for your comment about Eloise, who would ever part with her books? :-) xoxo
Glimmers are SO important – what a lovely post you’ve shared today!
Always a joy to see the colorful pops on my screen. Loving the Viva Ukrainia one.
