Vision board and cards

At the end of January, I saw an invitation to craft vision boards with one of our Neurographica teachers in an online session. I'd already made a soul collage card for my word of the year - Connected, and loved this invitation of another way to work with it.

I've made vision boards off and on for several decades, and am always intrigued with the images and messages that appear. One of my first Red Thread offerings was making vision boards, in 2016!

For the neuropathic vision board class, we used the Feng Shui 'bagua' grid to lay out the pictures in 9 'sections'. After they were in place, we drew neuro lines over the collage, to support our Word and our intentions!

I made a smaller board (~ 8x15") w/ some of the left over images I'd chosen - and it's still on my wall 😃. I love that central figure!

Celebrate!

I often use lighter weight tagboard for the backing - but this year's boards are on some cardboard I had on hand! ....

....I received an invitation to join Kaila Givehand and Kristen Radden, and make vision board 'cards.' I love making cards, and this 'portable option' got me thinking of reverse engineering the process, and cutting the larger board into cards - so I did!

Connected

I ended up with a larger square for my word CONNECTED, plus four cards which are 5×8".

Cutting the cardboard was hard!! But fun! ....

I pealed some images off, added others, and drew more neurolines. I plan on finding some additional words to anchor the images.

And ... there are some odd bits left over. I'll do some journaling, and use mat board to back additional Visionary cards.

These cards are a great way to explore and connect with vision and intention.

We plan on making vision boards in next month’s Wellness circle - and I'll bring some mat board!

Here & here are some of my earlier boards
And one I hung on my Visual planning board

Have you made vision boards or cards?

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...

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'...

I've got a Plan!

Last April, after the start of our Artist in Residence time , Shiloh Sophia and her own business coach Amy Ahlers offered a creativity based business class called Dancing Entrepreneur. While most gals were from our creative community, several other creatives joined us. Posts which really caught my eye were of Karen Dawn 's Visual Planning system , and I joined her Beta Test group on crafting similar systems of our own! I love Karen's creative approach to planning! (Her blog includes some of these teachings! She also introduced me to Neurographica!) Vision Plan Board My visual planner is on a foam board left over from a vision board class, and holds my Medicine Basket, one of the Dancing Entrepreneur action cards, a couple of Neuro-Noodles plus - pockets. Who doesn't love these little pockets? The clothesline is a ribbon, and I simply taped the ends to the back of the board using painter's tape! You can use nails or eye hooks to tack the lines directly on a wall -...
