My Soul Collage Journey Continues

"She Feels The Pull Of The Ocean"

I have been enjoying the Soul Collage process

since February of this year;

in fact I shared a blog post on it

when I had first begun.
You can re-visit it here

I have been collecting images

and more images

and more images!

I have quite a beautiful collection to pull from now,

it certainly takes time and thought.

I don't just choose any picture,

I carefully choose an image that I think is speaking to me,

that I will be able to use somewhere in one of

my Soul Collage Cards,

it is a soothing and quiet practice.

I have also been keeping a journal at the same time,

whenever I create a card,

I give it a title, I date the card

and do a small writing practice

using the phrase

"I am One Who ..."

which is part of the Soul Collage process.

I must say I love the writing process

and it is so good to return

to the cards over and over again
that I have created.
For each one carries significant meaning to me.

Each representing a certain time in my life.

Months went by and I

hadn't visited my Soul Collage practice.
I had been very busy preparing
for my Mandala workshop for Artful Spirit,
and teaching lots of Zentangle classes.
I noticed with the dates on my cards,
a span of time had passed since I had worked on a card.
I had wondered why I hadn't created
a card in such a long time,
I had missed them . . .

until I was able to share the process

with my sister,

it was her very first time with this magical experience!
We spent a sister morning together and I shared my entire
process of creating a card with her.

She learned so much,

enjoyed collecting images

and creating her very first card,

she is now hooked!

I created the card above with her that morning.

I just finished collaging a wooden box,

where I am going to keep my precious cards

that I have created ...

It's kinda special to me!

Can you see the little girl (Donna Lee)

peeking through the window?

The little caption reads

"Once Upon a Time"

it was just perfect for my box.

Soul Collage speaks to your heart,

it helps you to think intuitively,

sends comforting messages

and helps you to sort out personal feelings.

I am grateful for having discovered

this beautiful art form.

Give it a try, you will absolutely

fall in love with 

the meditative and soul searching

 process of it all.

Images carry many meanings,

no words are ever needed,

it is unlike any other art form 

I have jumped into.

This is my latest card,
I have been having a squirrel keep
coming into my life (and my home)
I figured he has a message for me to learn!

I created this card as a reminder ...

"Lessons Learned From My Squirrel"

Be Well

Be Happy

Think of Others

Live Creatively!
