Energizing intention

 A few weeks ago, I crafted a card in a Word of the Year playshop with my friend Kathleen.... and I'm excited to join our own Cindy Jacobs in a year long journey to energize our Words, using Soul Collage™ and Intentional Creativity!

During each of our monthly classes, we'll use creative processes to gain further insights into working with our Words, and keep the energy of our intentions alive. 

In our first session this Friday, we'll explore the theme of our ’inner Visionary’ creating and 'meeting' a Soul Collage™ Visionary card. Time will be allotted for Journaling, and crafting background papers for several Mixed Media visionary cards.

Cindy has chosen a Word of the Year for 14 years, and loves using creative processes to explore and activate her words! This is a great way to set your intention for what you'd like to accomplish and gain clarity.

Each 3 hour session is offered on a pay what you can fee, with $30-45 suggested (reach out to Cindy to discuss enrollment and payment options!) 

Have you chosen a Word for 2025?

    I haven't deliberately chosen a word for 2025, but I think I do now: "slow down".

    Oh what a neat idea! I haven't yet chosen a word of the year, but I might give that some thought. Maybe "trust."

    I have not thought of a word for this year. The last time I recall selecting a word was in 2020, my word was Visionary. Now for 2025, I do not want a two-bit word.

    Sounds like a cool idea and I haven't chosen a word yet either. Maybe it would be dreaming.

Altered Board Book

One of the earliest projects in our  Color of Woman teacher training was the invitation to create simple art journals, setting our intention, using simple supplies and an inexpensive composition book as the container. These journals, called Cosmic Smash Books by an earlier graduate, Catt Geller, became companions for many of us on our quest, holding notes, inspiration, and process pages. I made several that year, and many others since. We began and covered books in our last Red Thread Creatives circle, and this week,  created a grounding, resting or process page. We were led by Linda Allen, a CoW graduate and Smashbook Guide. Linda is a big fan of using junk mail and other throw away for booklets and pages. In our last session, I painted a cover for the journal I was already working in, using a sturdy paper bag from my daughter's stash. My youngest granddaughter came outside to paint with me, making hers for a spiral bound notebook. This week, I worked in an altered children's...

Roots and Wings

 The invitation to one of my early Red Thread Circle read: 'It is often said we need to give our children roots for grounding, and wings to give their visions and dreams flight! Our creativity also thrives with roots and wings!   Come explore what gives you stability, & vision into the dreams you'd like to give wings. We'll play with paint and paper and you'll leave with an altar piece to remind you of your own Roots & Wings.'   Natasha's Tree What gives you Roots? What grounds you into your body, your home, your community?  What do you - and your surroundings need to thrive? Where do you yern to spread your wings?  What bogs you down - old baggage, old stories that 'it's about time' you tossed? What leaves are ready to drop?  We drummed & rattled to connect with our roots, the things that give us stability.  Our images shared commonalities, trees, earth, sky, greenery. We played with acrylics, tempra, a leaf stencil, collage to c...

Word of the Year

  For Several years, my friend Kathleen has offered a Word of the Year Playshop at our church in January.  She generally uses a more linear approach - using Dictionaries and Thesauri, after a quick review and release of any 'baggage' from the year just past ... This year, she invited a friend who facilitates Soul Collage (tm) to join us, and we chose images! Both Kathleen and Deandra brought a bunch of images from magazines, cards and calendars, and laid them out on several tables,  for us to gather from.  Card size is general 5×7" or 5x8" and we could choose from several colours of mat board for our background . Other materials included an index card, glue sticks and scissors.  My workstation We did a quick year review and release, then choose images, and started to fine tune and arrange them. After we'd glued the images, we paired up, and one of the dyad acted as scribe for the other:  I am the one who .. .. My partner, used to a more linear and 'heady' ...
