At the beginning of the new year, its a good time to assess how is life going along and what do I need to change. Some people do it in the form of New Year's resolutions, others with Chinese New Year, others with making of a Vision Board, others with dancing in their intentions or making a fire.
I collect images from magazines and old calendars and stuff that I find in junk stores. I have lots of things. This was a good way to clear some things and recycle the images that are no longer important to me. I had not made a Vision Board in a long time. It was fun to begin.
What is collage anyway? Here's an entry when I was creating Soul Collage cards to give you an idea about collage.
Here's the last vision board that I created. I like how the colors move around the frame. I pinned up a big flower that I painted at a Barefoot Bliss Weekend that I attended in Michigan.
I brought the frame down off the wall and took everything off. It was a little sad to do--I wondered if I could make another one that I liked. Would it be as good? Or would it be junk? Oh--there go those racing thoughts. I had to tell myself, "Cancel, Clear," and I started over. "I'm going to make it. It will be what is to come next. No judgement about good, better best."
I have a few projects that I'm thinking about. I put all of these beautiful fabrics in a pile to use.
More images. I cut some with the scissors and some I cut with the paper cutter. I love that tool.
Here's the final board for 2019. Dance, movement, art, nature, love of life, change, people. Life as Art. It is good. I kept the saying above the board, "I am strong and powerful and speak my truth with clarity." I like this new board. It speaks to me of hope!
