Heart Politics

looking back over this blog it looks like I didn't do much soulcollage from mid December to end of January. Well in truth I haven't but I did do a whole lot of Soulcollage inspired cards for Heart Politics home groups which took up a lot of my time! At first I wasn't sure what to do, but then I found I had a theme of natural and human made . This post really should be about three back but here it is here.

Jaya and Claire

At last - I got to do soulcollage with others. Had a wonderful three hours with Jaya and Claire last week. They both made two cards I got half of one done! Here are their first ever cards. Jaya's on the left, Claire's on the right. We did I Am The One Who readings but we didn't write them down as we were seriously running out of time - and anyway I doubt they are as willing to go as public as I am.

Deafness

I am the one who is despondent, angry and generally pissed off at my right ear deafness

Not sure where this one fits

I mad e whole lot of SoulCollage inspired cards for the recent heart Heart Politics home groups and decided not to use one but keep it as part of my pack. After the very environmental HPX it seems very fitting. No reading yet but its about recourses and our use of them.

They take their own sweet time

I keep wanting to make more cards but they only seem to come suddenly and unexpectedly rather than when I think I want to make them. These two are a case in point. I was tidying up and came across this old picture of Terry and Rebeh and a card just had to be made THEN, and, of course, it came together easily. But - it was while I was in the middle of other things so it got a bit of paint on it. Also I scanned it with its cover on and that doesn't work so well in terms of colour.

You are the ones I love more than anyone else

And then I found my long lost box of postcards. The post card of two women has always been very powerful to me and suddenly another card was made. Because 30 years on its still there!

I Am The One Who never had a baby

Sad and fearful day

I Am The One Who feels lost and fearful.  I am hanging from my own thoughts which gives me a sense of being no one and everyone and all over the place.  I Am The One Who is still a baby inside and is scared of the unknown. I Am The One who wants to hide my pain and sadness from others because I really have nothing to be sad or fearful of. But I am.

What gifts do you bring me?

I bought you the gift of feeling better once the card was made.

What do you want from me?

I want you to see the beauty in the darkness the small explosions of light that will lead you to the other side.

Is there anything you would like to say to me today?

Make cards when you can, they are very useful.

PS on 13th December 2010 ~ Making this card was the push to get onto the phone and arrange a Byron Katie session with Valli & Gramya I have been the proverbial box of fluffy ducks ever since. From the above to ...well I might make another card to show how great I'm feeling now!

Inspired by Citra Solv

I first found out about Citra Solv through Kaleidosoul's Yahoo group and now I have made my first two cards with citra solv backgrounds. And boy, did they get made fast. Unlike the last one that took days to put together these just happened. I used precut out pictures and within half an hour I made these two.

This one is in the 'too hard basket' for a reading yet.

I think this is some thing to do with the masks I wear
