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.
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.
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.
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.
