How to make a vision board that works

January 29th, 2012

It all started with a vision!

Years ago I had a dream of a lifestyle and business that made my heart sing. I became passionately focused on making that dream a reality.

Vision Boards became my tool of choice. After much trial and error I discovered some tricks and strategies for making my Vision Boards powerful manifesting tools.

Now I regularly use Vision Boards to clarify my ideas and manifest my dreams.

I created this video to share 5 Tips for making Vision Boards that works.

If you find yourself wearing a constrictive mask that is concealing your true self  here are…

5 Tips to Peel off the Masks that Constrict You

1. Recognize that you are wearing a mask.

2. Ask yourself: Is this mask expanding me or constricting me?

3. Ask yourself: What am I afraid of?

4. Ask yourself: How can I bring more love into the areas where I am afraid?

5. Practice being your expanded self!

 

Not all masks are bad. Some masks expand us into the person we dream of being.

Here is an image of some of my masks both expanding and constricting.

Connect with your spirit in times of change

December 11th, 2011

During times of change and transformation it is empowering to have ways to receive spiritual insights and guidance.

Traditional Native and Tribal cultures created art as a way to receive spiritual messages. Their totem poles, masks and ceremonial rituals opened the doorway to spirit.

Soul Art follows the same philosophy. We create art as a way to connect with spirit to receive spiritual messages and insights.

While all the renovations are happening in my studio and on the website, I created a series of Rainbow Totems to connect with my spirit.

To celebrate all the renovations, we are having a Website Renovation Sale with 25% off all the courses in the Soul Art Store.

Wild Dancing Creature

Behind the Scenes wild creature dancingIn the midst of all the studio and website renovations I rediscovered a bin of black and white fabric. I was instantly inspired to do something with it.

I had been admiring the work of Nick Cave for a number of years and knew I wanted to do something in that flavor. With all the extra fabric I found I had the perfect opportunity to create a Nick Cave inspired wild dancing creature!

Since all the fabrics were black and white I wanted to brighten the mood with some color. While sketching I had the vision for a bright yellow background.

All of this creative inspiration was sparked by the renovations happening here at Soul Art Studio.  We are celebrating with wild creature dancing and a Website Renovation Sale with 25% off all Soul Art Journeys!

2012 is going to be a big year for Creative Spiritual People. Now is the time to re-invent yourself in preparation for 2012. Pick a Soul Art Journey and dive into your thriving creative Self!

Let’s Celebrate!

Behind the Scenes – Rainbow Tree

November 27th, 2011

It all starts with an idea!

My ideas usually come to me while I’m hiking in the forest. Once I have an idea, I start playing with it to figure out how I can turn it into reality. Here is one of the initial sketches for the Rainbow Tree photoshoot.

Rainbow Tree

As the seasons are changing from Fall to Winter the landscape in the forest is quite mono-tone. I thought it would look so beautiful to have a tree glowing with rainbow amongst all the other sleeping trees.

To bring the Rainbow Tree image to life I gathered my team and we started to work on the  idea.

I worked with Sue Upton to do my hair and makeup with rainbow accents.

My hair was braided with the same wool and fabrics that were used to wrap the tree.

I worked with photographer Kevin Thom to bring the image to life.

The location for the Rainbow Tree was a bit of a hike in from the road so we used a cart to bring loads of fabric, the ladder and camera equipment to the location.

Then we went to work!

It took over 3 hours to wrap the trees. Once everything was wrapped I changed into my Rainbow dress and we snapped the shot. I always giggle at how fast the photo is compared to the hours that go into making that moment happen.  Kevin studied the composition while I was wrapping the trees so it was easy to put me in position and get the shot.

Here is the final image of the Rainbow Tree.
