Past Visual Arts & Crafting Projects

* Meditation on "Suddenly": Deepen on a Fantastic Painting by Murray Devlin. Just a few short questions to look a little more closely.

* 9-Pointed Attribute Stars in Watercolor: Create Stars to Give as Gifts or to Decorate your Home. They are suitable for framing and presentation and I have called them "Attribute Stars" because when the watercolors have dried you encircle the star with Attributes of God, or a favorite quote.

* Personalized Journal: Long or Short-Term Project Focusing on the Idea of Accounting for Each Day. There are two main activities/opportunities for creativity in this project, first, the process of creating a yearly journal, and second, using your journal as a tool to: track your life's journey, for self-evaluation, and, as a continual source of personalized inspiration.

* Simple Blank Book:  Create a Book to Fill with your creativity. It's great for presenting your poetry, original drawings, or even favorite prayers, to give as a gift or to keep. You need only 4 sheets of 8-1/2"x11" typing paper to start.


COLLAGE

* Memory Meditation Stones: 3-Dimensional Collages based on Personal Themes/Events. A unique way of commemorating the important people and events in your life.

* Name Banner Card: Create a one-of-a-kind combination greeting card and wall decoration for family and friends.

*Deepening through Collage: Focus on Sacred Text while Working with Images. I've used this method and have found it to be a very relaxing, contemplative and often insightful exercise. It can be completed in an hour or in a month, it is up to you how far you want to go with any one topic.

*Collage Workshop - Group Activity: Invite some friends over to meditate and create!

*Collage Bookmarks Mottled backgrounds and small images stand out in these unique bookmarks.

*Life is a Puzzle: Visualize the Pieces of Your Life Create a three-dimensional puzzle that includes images which literally, or symbolically represent what is important to us, or what we desire for ourselves.

Collage Poem "Non-Magnetic" Poetry: the idea of swirling words picked and cut at random (from printed media). They are then placed "ransom note style" on a larger image, or collection of images, to create a greater whole.
