Gluebooks June 2015, Week 3

-

I am feeling so grateful that I can dig deeper and deeper into my subconscious. Each time I sit down to create a page in this small book I have no idea what will appear.  I am mindfully getting out of the way, letting my Inner Being take the controls to inspire and create whatever needs to be birthed.

Welcome Moonbeams! I was calling the Shadow Children I have called back home on the Dark of the Moon, Demons, Gremlins and other such demeaning names. I am so sorry for that! I have come to know them as my Moonbeams! I have welcomed them home with a open heart and arms to live out their lives at home in comfort.

Heart Seed. "Find the seed at the bottom of your heart and bring forth a beautiful flower." Shigenori Kameoka.  My Moonbeams are blooming everyday.  My hero, Mahatma Gandhi lived in his truth as much as any human could, a great mentor!

Height of Reflection.  The more I do this work the more I am able to reflect clearly.  I am seeing and feeling that I have done the right thing to bring home, or better, bring into the light all the parts of me that where lurking in the shadows and not really fulfilling the purpose intended. It's a rich feeling!

Awesomeness. All my Moonbeams are completely awesome. There is real beauty in them all no matter how they may appear at first.  Each and every one are a reflection of the true me.

Happy Solstice.  A day of thoughtful celebration, I really enjoyed having quiet time alone this day.

Seeing the Light.  I am feeling light as air! I am sleeping better and feel some small joy everyday! I'm taking better care of myself with good organic food, Hot Yoga, art and loving myself with all my heart, can't ask for more than that.

Unlock the Secrets. I love that this Emperor is holding these Secrets.  He appears to be very tight lipped but that's only because the Secrets have been intrusted to him for safe keeping.  We will have a formal ritual to unlock even the deepest darkest secrets. 

The journey continues..........


Again, I want to thank all the creative people that make this project possible for me.  All the books, magazines and periodicals, the found items and all the fodder.  Thank you!

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.
