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!

Vision board 2025

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.

Vision board and 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...

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' ...
