I would like to take this opportunity to thank the creative people to have provided me with the images I glue into my Gluebooks.  I find the images everywhere! I am grateful for all those creatives who are helping me find my way. 
Thank you!



Deli Joy
June 1
This page is done with a gelli plate mono print on deli paper.  I brayed paint onto the plate,
 then used a rubber stamp to remove the paint in that pattern, then printed the deli paper. 


Self-Starter 
June 2

Started Hot Yoga again! So hard to stick with it. But can't seem to live without it.  Boy o Boy! I am out of shape.  Learning so much about my body that I have been ignoring for awhile.  Good to be back in the swing of healthy things again.


Sacred Place 
June 3

 I love Joseph Campbell so much! Here's a beautiful quote; 
"Your scared place is where you can find yourself again and again".


Gateway to the Underworld 
June 4

Been reading, Mysteries of the Dark Moon by Demetra George.  Wow! It is a very powerful book and is giving me numerous gifts and ideas. The Underworld is our sub-conscience rich with all sorts of opportunities, I want to know more. I am inviting my "Demons" home for a reunion.


 Ingenuity! 
June 5
We humans are brimming with ingenuity.  I am looking to the Goddesses of old and asking for guidance and clear imagination.


 Digging Deep!
June 6
The only way to get over pain it through it.  I am excavating my Underworld with the help of many Goddesses and Heroes close to my heart.  I am looking for my "Demons" so that I can welcome them home and truly embrace their spirit.


Life in Balance
June 7
I am seeking a life in balance, to be emerged in my emotions yet not drowned by them. I am also honoring a dream I had of a DELICIOUS man that came to me.

Creating Personal Retreats an Online Workshop

-

The Entrance This is week three, Contemplation!  So the front side of our Retreat House is done, mostly, I can see where I would like to add more personally meaningful additions here and there. I'm taking this Online Workshop with Cathryn Antyr, the collagediva . I did another workshop with Cathryn and was very pleased with the details of instruction and the photos which guide you along and this workshop is no different.  I beleive that through this work I am finding balance in my life which was sorely needed. First Panels My artistic blossoming is depicted by a Louts flower.  Each petal reflects an aspect I am working on.  I also added that while I am doing this work I will allow myself to gently unfold but at the same time allow exploration while holding close to what has heart and meaning for me personally. Center Panels This panel is a santuary for Ganesh.  The little window opens to reveal some of the attributes of Ganesh, he is the Lord of Protection and Refuse.

Go Easy

t This is what I did with the last background that I showed you.  I don't usually go in for pink but this felt right and this is also the first time using black paint.  I have a little tool I've made, from needlework grid. I cut it at the point where it leaves little "nobs" which I drag through the paint on the page. I was reading Joyce Lee's Notes to Self , which I find profoundly uplifting and used her wisdom for this spread. I quote: "I knowingly accept that I am a work in progress. I do understand that taking baby steps is the most I can do some days. I recognize my growth potential as I love and honor my path."  These are words I needed to hear!  I really needed to go easy with my self.  I've lost so many work hours and well you know, lots of idle time and no money!  Thank goodness for all my supplies!   I've been very strong!  No shopping!  It's times like this that make you dip a little deeper into your own soul and find the kind

 These bits and pieces are so cute!   I've been thinking about making "One Word Meditation" cards for a while and I think the composition of these would work out really well for that.   They sort of remind me of those perfectly serene  Japanese Zen gardens .  These rock gardens are said to be created so that no matter where you sit you cannot see all of the boulders and so goes the meditation. Of course, my cards are outrageously imperfect, as a matter of fact they are downright wild!  Each card will come with a relating splash of collage paper on the flap of the envelope.  Here are some with words just for fun but they are not the One Word Meditations words I will be using.  I'm still working out the aesthetics on how I want to display and attach them. Next in line are Valentine Cards which I think will look great with a wonky kind of heart. Anyway, Have a Merry Christmas and a wonderful and safe New Year's Eve.
